The Octagon again, and miles of East Anglia countryside.
More countryside, the green bit at the bottom of the picture used to be the monk's garden.

The Octagon, Ely, clouds, endless countryside.

The Bishop;s Palace. don't get me started on that!
Two towers on the South West Transcept, with inverted roofs to collect rainwater to make water was supposedly the weakest beer in the land.
More stained glass in the South West Transcept.
I could get a bit obsessed with stained glass if I tried.
A modern day version of the Virgin Mary, in the Ladt Chapel. She looks a bit agitated about something. Perhaps it was the fact that Cromwell spoilt her lovely chapel. The pig.
There's a small chapel within the cathedral, and this is some of the decoration inside it. Seems very over the top for an Englaish cathedral, verging on the Gaudi.
A tomb in the cathedral. Whilst most of them showed a figuring lying back with hands clasped in prayer this one seems rather decadent. He seems to be resting there as if to say, "go on, amuse me...".
A chubby cherub.
The Choir (that;s the name for the part of the building) and the Presbytery.

A gargolye on the Octagon.
A gargolye on a turret. I got a bit obsessed with them.
The end of the cathedral and endless East Anglia.
More gargolyes.
And more.

Turrests.
More turrets.
Told you I was obsessed.
Turrets, gargolyes and the West Tower.
Turret and gargolyes!
The West tower. An hour previously I'd bee standing on the roof of that!
And again.
Yep, more.
Bored of turrets yet?
More of Ely.
And another!
Stained glass around the Octagon.
The Octagon viewed from the floor of the cathedral so you can see how high up I was!
