The abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames
During a recent highly enjoyable visit to my home patch by William Lamb and Ron Schmidt I managed to find a bit of time to grab a few shots of my own. I thought I'd better post them before William and Ron post theirs. It's known as getting your retaliation in first.
The abbey was saved from intended destruction when the people of Dorchester bought it from King Henry VIII to serve as their parish church. All the best, Chris |

Re: The abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames
Great shot! This is a very beautiful church. I think I would enjoy celebrating the liturgy in that space. Thank God it was saved from destruction :-)
Peace, Wilfredo Benitez-Rivera Photography |

Re: The abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames
Chris,
Good exposure. You are safe BTW. Had you fogotten I was far too jet-lagged to be in camera-mode and never opened my bag. Ron is so busy at the moment that he is unlikely to post his Scala shots before this winter...

  Very pleasing shot, Chris. I have driven along the Wallingford - Oxford road many a time, but have never called into the Abbey here. Something I must put right, next time I have the opportunity.

Re: The abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames
Andy,
Perhaps you have no need to be in a certain frame of mind to take pictures. Sometimes it is enough to look at a place and take it all in. The light wasn't very good either as it was ~ 14:30. You are SUCH a "wise guy". I've decided this must be a Liverpool/Manchester thing...

Re: The abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames
Wilfredo, Andy, William, many thanks for your comments. I'll leave Andy and William to continue pulling each other's legs and simply note that yes, William was jetlagged but that he was (naturally) fit to drive at a very sedate pace on the first day! Andy, I think you would enjoy Dorchester. It is a very photogenic place. If you are in the vicinity do send me an email.
All the best, Chris |
