Once upon a time birds would land on a gentle little boy. Then life intervened and the boy hid behind a blizzard of fists and rage. He thought he'd be safe back there - but it was a lonely, desolate space. Now, I aspire to be a Gentle Man...

It is very fine indeed! I am glad to have helped rekindle such fond memories
That's quite a connection Diane!

No, I was having a lie-down
Thank you!
My workplace has recently relocated and this morning, as I strolled in the gentle sunshine on Jarrold Bridge across the River Wensum, I stopped to savour this view of Norwich Cathedral #cathedrals #perspective #heritage #walking #architecture #history #rivers #bridges #photography #inSPIREing
Nave and Angel roof at Bury St Edmunds, St Mary - a large and impressive church often missed by visitors drawn, instead, to St Edmundsbury Cathedral and the medieval abbey precinct just down the road #suffolk #churches #heritage #architecture #history #medieval #15thcentury #angelroof #burystedmunds

Thank you so much for your birthday wishes as well as for your appreciation of my photos ❤️
Being born in Britain on the 25th February, I'm used to some gloomy birthdays weatherwise, so today's glorious sunshine was savoured by me as I ventured out to explore some churches in NE Suffolk. Here is the sun shimmering through windows at Framlingham, St Michael #sunshine #churches #carpediem

The Romanesque 'Norman Tower', Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, was constructed during the tenure of Abbot Anselm (1121-48) and is now the detached bell tower of St Edmundsbury Cathedral (LH side of photo) #suffolk #architecture #history #heritage #norman #romanesque #bells #tower #photography #medieval
Thanks. Yes, very much so in a Bury St Edmunds context. It's from the martyrdom of Kind Edmund, last king of the East Angles. It depicts a wolf as a divine guardian of the king's severed head after the pagan Vikings captured and decapitated him following their victory in 869.
Close-ups of the cathedra in St Edmondsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This was designed by Frank Howard (1888-1934) who specialised in ecclesiastical furnishings and fittings #cathedrals #suffolk #woodcarving #design #heritage #photography #light #beauty #healing #wellbeing #takenotice

Possibly, an aumbry (recess/cupboard)

Poppyhead in chancel of Mulbarton, St Mary, Norfolk, presumably dating from Richard Phipson's restoration of the church in the 1870s #norfolk #churches #woodcarving #poppyhead #history #heritage #foliate #victorian #1870s #19thcentury #benchend #design #carving
I'm originally from London, but an adopted son of Norwich now
I wonder too...
East window at Hadleigh, St Mary, Suffolk. I took this photo a few years ago whilst in the early stages of recovery from a testing period of mental ill-health - I needed encounters with beauty #suffolk #churched #stainedglass #window #tracery #history #heritage #architecture #19thcentury #light
