This was shot at Oliver's Castle, Nr Devizes, Wiltshire, England. I only take two lenses with me these days for landscape photography, the Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Mark II. Each lens is mounted on a Canon EOS 5D Mark I body to avoid the need for changing lens out in these windy environments.

Originally obtained from the Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines under Combe Down, Somerset, England, its warm, honey colouring gives the World Heritage City of Bath, England its distinctive appearance. An important feature of Bath Stone is that it is a 'freestone', so-called because it can be sawn or 'squared up' in any direction, unlike other rocks such as slate, which forms distinct layers. This was shot looking out from the Cloisters at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire,

This is the ornate Screen that separates the Choir and High Altar from the congregation in the Nave. Many Cathedrals in England started out as Monasteries and it was common practice to seperate the Monks from the general congregation. It is worth remembering that seating in the Nave is a relatively recent addition to churches and cathedrals, In early medieval times and before that the congregation stood for the whole service. This is Bristol Cathedral, Avon & Somerset.

This is the hill top Iron Age Fort known as Oliver's Castle as shot from Roundway Down, Nr. Devizes, Wiltshire, England. The fort would have consisted of a wooden pallisade with fighting platforms around the inside. Evidence of a moat can still be seen. Sharpened wooden spikes would have been driven into the ground outside to slow the progress of invaders.
