topoxforddoc Posted July 27, 2007 Share #1  Posted July 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Life's not been easy in Gloucestershire the last week. At least I have a water-free house and electricity. The water level has dropped by several feet from its peak and so I managed to venture into Tewkesbury at last. You have to admire the Norman surveyors who built this Abbey in 1102 on the only bit that never floods! The water that you see is in fact a playing field and recreation ground!  Charlie  Shot on R9/DMR 28-90 full frame LR1.1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted July 27, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted July 27, 2007 Charlie - Â A lovely scene which belies the fact that much suffering is represented here. Excellent composition and tonal range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Brian, Â a little got into the North Door, but the Abbey was essentially ok unlike the rest of Tewkesbury. Yesterday, almost every building had wet carpets, sofas etc outside. More rain ofrecast for tonight! Â Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted July 28, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted July 28, 2007 Glad to hear that Charlie; some concern was expressed on one of the organ forums as parts of the Grove (or is it the Milton) organ are right on the floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
