Toward their destiny
On this part of the trip, we’d rented a cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold and made day trips from there. We’d start each day with an idea of where we were heading, but for various reasons those plans almost never worked out.
We DID mean to be in this town, but only because I had it confused with someplace else that I’d seen on a previous visit. After a pub lunch (in a building that dates to ~1400), we wandered around the churchyard. I’d like to tell you that I set up the shot of that couple walking toward the graveyard. But I just hate to lie to my loyal reader(s), so I’ll go ahead and let you know that was a lucky composition that went unnoticed until I got home. Sometimes these things work out…

Walk the perimeter inside the old cathedral and you’ll be rewarded with a stunning view of intricate interior walls and ceilings beyond. (In case you were wondering, the Cathedral opened on April 8, 1093.)

Crypt Keeper
This mysterious man stands in the cathedral’s crypt. The sculpture was made by Sir Antony Gormley, who cast it in lead from a plaster model of his own body. During rainy months, when the crypt floods, the statue is standing in water.

The lurker
I am sure there’s nothing sinister going on here…but still, that woman lurking in the bus shelter and looking toward the couple with the baby carriage seems to be up to no good.

I’m off at summer camp this week. Sort of. At any rate, it may take me a few days to respond to comments. But I will get to them. I promise. (As soon as I write that letter home, telling everyone what a terrible time I’m having at camp…)
Always good advice
Yes, I would concur with these instructions.
