Coventry Cross

With a little frustration (narrow slot to fit my camera)
I managed to get this view looking down from
Coventry Cathedral tower.

I have only photographed this once before.
Had a giggle when  I noticed that one
of the shots I previously used shows the spot
where I was standing to take this shot.  (Are you following me?)
Have a look below.
'X' marks the spot :).

Coventry Cross and Coventry Cathedral

Skywatch Friday - Coventry's Market Cross....

...together with Holy Trinity Church Spire against a blue sky (hooray!).

Coventry Cross & Holy Trinity Spire

Cookoo Lane, Coventry

A market cross is found in towns and villages denoting a market square in a market town.  The cross photographed here (unveiled in 1976) is common in many medieval market towns.  There have been several Coventry Crosses over the years.  This one replaces the 1544 cross which stood some 100 metres away in Cross Cheaping.

Looking towards Coventry Cathedral

These two photographs were taken on different days.  I had an afterthought and thought it would be good to show the a wider picture of the area. The Gladiator grave memorial is on the other side of the path (on the left).

Friday means a little break over the weekend for me.  I have to do some filing of digital photos - amazing how they add up.  Have a good weekend all.  Cheers!
