Visit to Ely

[sapper]

So wifey said, "We should go away for a night or two", "Ok' says I, the ever dutiful husband. "Where too?". "I will consult my list" says she. And so we drove to Ely, a short journey away.
We had booked a B&B at this place, https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...e_England.html. A tiny cabin but very well appointed.

Here are a few pics from our trip. More to follow as I get time. Our barge is not the Duke of Lancaster, that was parked opposite, I just liked the wheelbarrow on top.

Nice series - but why oh why the B&W of the last one!

When you have a subject that has such texture, form, contrast etc., it lends itself so well to good monochrome production. This is a great example of when B&W works.

Graham has said it all: it’s a wonderful image.

Very nice set of shots Dave. I prefer colour in the last one too. Ely looks like a lovely place must put it on our list, thanks for the tip off .

It is a nice place Phil. I would like to go back and see the town itself, we spent most of our time in the cathedral. More pics to follow re the exhibition of Gowns and cCrowns, https://www.elycathedral.org/events/...-an-exhibition.

Next time you go Dave, take the tour that takes you up the octagonal tower.
