ENGLAND- Gallery 1

YORK MINSTER

I have visited York and its famous Minster several times across three visits to the United Kingdom. The last visit in 2014 was the first time I had a digital camera with me.

Guess which visit these pictures came from…

The nave, clearly showing the aisles.
Looking at the crossing and transept. The choir and organ are in the background.
The altar.
A memorial to Christopher Cradock, possibly the unluckiest admiral in the Royal Navy in the First World War. He was given orders to pursue two German heavy cruisers- Scharnhorst and Gneisenau– to the South Atlantic in 1914 with two very old and hopelessly outclassed antique cruisers under his command. Facing an impossible situation, he did his duty and took on the German ships. As we are looking at a memorial, I think you’re smart enough to guess the outcome of the battle that followed off Coronel. Reading the account of what happened to his ship, himself and his crew is the stuff of nightmares. The Admiralty should never have sent him on such a mission. It was practically an act of murder.
Lord Rockingham, combining the best of Georgian and classical fashions…
Do I really need to describe this one?
A wonderful display of high relief sculpture for the high born in history…
St. John and St. Cecilia

I genuinely enjoy studying on this website , it contains good posts . “A man of genius has been seldom ruined but by himself.”

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Thank-you for viewing the blog and offering your input!

There is a lot of information, it’s true. Part of the purpose of the blog is to give guidance to others working on similar projects and that means reading a lot of material. I’m a stickler for that. Pictures are fine, but words are powerful tools in their own right.

The blog format is structured with subject headers at the top of the screen that will take you to the articles of the most interest to you directly. I think some people don’t see that and just scroll down the main page, which only contains the most recent postings in the blog. I don’t know if it is possible in the template to space out the writing more. The WordPress templates are fine, but not easily modified.
