My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[pawl]

Any guesses where I am? I'll give you a clue: there definitely aren't any mountains, and I'm not in France.

Looks like a Fenland drain to me.

Looks like a Fenland drain to me.

It is indeed - the road is French Drove - we were en route to Wisbech.

Sometimes what I can do with virtually no skill and a cheapish modern camera (a Sony HX50) takes my breath away:

Family trip to Haworth (SWMBO, daughter, daughters b/f, father-in-law, & myself), so hopefully there'll be a few images to add to this thread, plus the 'Benchmark/Trig-Point' (in General Cycling Discussion) & the Railways thread too!!

It's a struggle to grow up around here.

Crikey, & I thought it was breezy just to the west of South Milford (& just east of the A1's)

From yesterday:

 

[briantrumpet]

The stunning church at Moulton, Lincs. No bike involved. That beautiful spire is 14th century, and in superb condition. The interior is splendid too. I think the cycling round here would be dull (well, for someone who likes hills & big hills), but the tedium of the roads could be alleviated by searching out all the historic churches. They seem to have suffered less at the Victorians' hands than Devon's churches.

My neighbour put this out for the scrap man. Rescued and on its way to http://nottinghambikeworks.org.uk/

Adel Church
A (more or less) un-messed about with Norman Church

I was within 1/2 mile of this, for Stage 4 of the Tour de Yorkshire, but didn't go to it, thus a return visit was on the cards
http://adelparishchurch.org.uk/church-buildings/our-church.html
Built 1150-1160

The doorway surround is wonderful!!


Some damned large keys!


A replica, of the (stolen!) circa-1200 original 'Sanctuary Knocker'




A quite impressive Tomb in the graveyard

More flatland churches today, including Ely Cathedral (gosh), and the rather more modest Threxton, with its round tower. Inside is a stunning 14th-century font, and pre-reformation wall decoration, which survived by being covered up, right into the 20th century. Incredibly beautiful.
