Some people might have moved some pebbles so the height of the bench seats were equal to the beach. But if Brian can stand to look at it that’s fine by me.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -

It's very annoying when lines that you want to be parallel aren't. But I had to keep the sea level, otherwise the water would run downhill and flood Cornwall or Dorset.1 -

Sadly I took my '75 Falcon to France to live, otherwise that would have been my choice, not the CAAD9. Though even that is 12 years old now.pinno said:

As we're in Pembrokeshire here's one of Carew Castle.

I love the way the interior is stepped to fit the sloping site it's on, and there are two or three different parts to explore behind the organ. My mum was solemnly sitting in the nave thinking she'd not bother with the steps, but I went and collected her and said she just had to see the rest of it. She wasn't disappointed.Pross said:

Did they use to heat them in the past? I know some have heaters in them now.0

No, though I suspect that there would have been somewhere the clerics could escape to to warm up.
The coldest church I've ever been in is the still unheated Wiesskirche in Bavaria - the clerics took it in turns to come out and do a bit of the service, then disappear back into a heated room. It was all snowy outside, so quite surreal, like a fantasy film set.

I'm not sure, but I find a hot organ works better than a cold one.focuszing723 said:Did they use to heat them in the past? I know some have heaters in them now.

All part of the dedication and suffering for their religion. Pretty sure padded kneelers are a relatively modern comfort too.briantrumpet said:focuszing723 said:

Oh, and no toilets either, obvs.0 -
Still don't in the church I used to go to as a kid (although the hall tends to be open during the longest mass they have there). I still find it odd when I sing at weddings and there's a toilet in the church itself. I also found it really weird doin a public consultation for work that was in the actual church rather than a church hall (and the church was used as a coffe shop). It makes sense to use the space but I bet it upsets the traditionalists!briantrumpet said:Pross said:

I think they had to face the reality that with an increasingly aging congregation, without in-house facilities either even more of the congregation would stay away, or accidents would happen...
When I see the size of most churches compared with their modern congregations, making a little space for the smallest room does seem like a sensible move.
BTW, have you ever been to Westbury-on-Severn church? The Victorian replacement church is virtually the size of a cathedral, and I bet they only get a congregation of about 30.0 -

Sometimes the grey flat light days can reveal some colour subtleties you otherwise miss.

This was another very flat grey day, just as it started to get a little stormy.

At the risk of being contrary - neither of those are 'flat grey'. Even with a bit of texture in the sky, you've got something to play with, but today was, er, flat grey. This is probably the best I got today, and this is a bit livelier than it was in reality (thanks to Irfanview tweaks). All you can do is to disguise the sky in the composition, otherwise it's just dead space.

Simply compose to crop out the grey sky?
Probably get better contrast and colour balance too.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I seem to remember being told that in centuries gone by the church was the hub of the community. Quite possibly less stuffed shirts and snobbery.Pross said:

I think I got rid of the sky with this one of the cathedral today.
