You know the saying “it’s like watching paint dry”…? Well, watching paint dry was how I spent a large part of my day today: invigilating a GCSE art exam. And yes, it really is as interesting as you might think. By lunchtime my eyes were crossed and my brain was starting to leak out of my ears, so I went for a brisk walk and took some photos to wake myself up.
This is a rather extreme view of St James’ Church in Chipping Campden, which will be the venue for the Campden Festival Chorus performance of Handel’s Messiah on Saturday (gulp). It’s my submission to this week’s Wide Angle Wednesday challenge, the theme of which this week is “Seeing the Point”. If I were better-educated I’d probably be able to give you architectural terms for some of the decorative prongle thingys on this building, but sadly I can’t – if anyone can enlighten me, please do get in touch.
