This week’s photograph is one I took just over three years ago, on a November early evening. We were driving south down the A11, across Thetford Chase and looking almost directly into the sunset. As I wasn’t driving I had my camera at the ready, especially as I know this little group of trees often stands out and I always seem to take shots of them. As luck would have it I managed to get this shot as we drove past — quite tricky; it’s really a question of putting the camera on “burst” and keeping your finger down while driving on by. I’m not sure if this shot will even be possible now as this is the last single carriageway stretch of the A11 between London and Norwich and is currently in the process of being upgraded — the new road line may not work as well photographically.

So this week, in keeping with Advent, I thought we would have something ecclesiastical. There’s no story attached to this photo; it is just a rather lovely piece of Norman cathedral architecture in the triforium of Chichester Cathedral. Just look at he wonderful colours in that stone: I don’t know if it the stone, ceramic tiles or whether it is the remains of wall painting.
