Image of the day – 68

< Previous | Index | Next >

What’s in an image? Sometimes quite a lot, more than meets the eye.

I’m posting an image every two days (or as often as I can). A photo, an image from the internet, a diagram or a map. Whatever takes my fancy.

Here’s a second photo from inside Cirencester’s Parish Church. This time we’re looking up for a view of the nave’s wooden ceiling with it’s interesting construction and wooden boarding that supports the external lead sheets to provide the necessary weather-proofing. The structure is certainly a cut above the average house roof!

If you look to the left of the top of the leftmost stone pillar, you will notice a grotesque figure. An imaginary, stone creature with wings stares down at you as it helps to support the stone ceiling below the tower, this space under the tower forms the West Porch of the building.

You can also see some of the north-facing nave windows just below the wooden ceiling, and sunlit stonework from beams shining through the south-facing nave windows (out of sight in this view).
