<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
A breathtaking example of Gothic English Architecture, the chapel stands 289 feet long, with an interior height of 80 feet<br />
and an exterior height of 94 feet.<br />
Such an immense feat of engineering<br />
achieved by exclusive use of hand-tools,<br />
wooden gantries and lifting devices, simple man-power<br />
and the exquisite skill of master masons.<br />
The flying buttresses were necessary<br />
to strengthen the north and south walls,<br />
that themselves were required to support hundreds of tons<br />
of roof structures, fan-vaulting and ceiling bosses.<br />
Most likely, such a creation today would be impossible,<br />
partly due to the lack of master masons and the gargantuan<br />
cost, running into billions of pounds, and decades of master craftsmanship.<br />
For me, this chapel represents a veritable<br />
“Wonder of the World.”</p>

<p>Poem.<br />
<br />
<br />
South of Oban the rising sun beams off the pine plantations<br />
of this dammed lochan, part of the River Oude. <br />
Profuse with full-foliage shrubs and trees,<br />
a high summer morning is “melting” away the cloud,<br />
minute by minute,<br />
second by second.<br />
The road sweeps east and then north<br />
to track the wonderfully convoluted coastline.<br />
Anticipation is great, for endless vistas emerge,<br />
with rapid repetition.<br />
<br />
A landscape masterclass.</p>

<p>Always a pleasure to visit Godrevy and another very enjoyable meet up with fellow flickr friend Dom Haughton.<br />
<br />
Calm conditions on this particular visit and different view point onto the island.<br />
<br />
Thanks very much for viewing. Have a great weekend :)</p>

<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
Formerly, Waterloo Block, a barracks, Jewel House <br />
was opened by the late Queen Elizabeth 11 in 1994.<br />
Royal Crowns and regalia have been displayed, under heavy guard,<br />
since the 14th. century because of attempted thefts<br />
at their previous home, Westminster Abbey.<br />
It is the largest building within the Tower of London’s perimeter walls<br />
and was built in 1845, 40 years after the Battle of Waterloo.<br />
Its stylish, solid, stone façade contrasts hugely with the <br />
concrete, steel girder and glass skyscrapers of the City of London.<br />
I am sure Jewel House will “outlive” these modern, sterile and functional towers by many hundreds of years.<br />
“They don’t build them like that anymore!”</p>
