D Is For Dragon


This relief sculpture of 'St George and the Dragon' 
can be found in the Soldiers' chapel off the north transept
in Lincoln Cathedral.

While I am at Lincoln Cathedral
here are just a few more shot of those
amazing vaults.


 Above the choir (with a closer view of alter on right).
The shot below is a reflection in a 6 x 6 foot mirror
(on a table reflecting upwards)
of the vault above High Alter.


These photos were taken in June, 2013.

Lincoln Cathedral Cloisters






Above is just a small portion of the architecture on
view from inside the cloisters corridors (below).


I can't wait to go back and visit
Lincoln Cathedral again.

Participating in Our World Tuesday.

PS.  Went to the dentist this morning.  Yes, my wisdom tooth has to come out but NOT today.
I have to go back tomorrow :).  Looking forward to talking about something else!

Lincoln Cathedral - In The Middle

 Today I am recalling our recent visit to Lincoln Cathedral.  
Lincoln is just over an hour from Coventry by car.


This archway is virtually in the middle of

Below is the same door/archway from the other side.


Hope you all had a good weekend. I was on tender hooks the entire time because of my poorly

wisdom tooth. I have booked an appointment with the dentist tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed. Have a good week!

Just A Tad Over An Hour...

...from Coventry to Lincoln by car.


Lincoln not only has this magnificent Lincoln Cathedral
but a castle too.  All sitting on top of a massive hill.
  The photos above and below (left) are taken
from inside Lincoln Castle.  The 
Castle does have an fine exterior wall and towers.
All are currently being renovated.
In the red brick building you can see one of the only
4 surviving originals of the Magna Carta.  




 Above (right) is Mr LOL having a little rest.
Lincoln is hilly. We were half way up at this point. 



 The Cathedral is huge.  I can only wonder if the corridors
of Coventry Cathedral looked something like this
before the war.

From time to time I will show more. 
I love it here.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are all set for a good week ahead.  I am :).
