Through Norman Eyes Maiden Newton Church

Uploaded: March 30, 2004 04:54:58

Description

This Norman door, is now protected by an outer glass door. I liked how the glass was reflecting the tree in the church grounds. I have a similar shot reflecting a different angle which I may upload later. I shot this early February with the landscape still rather bleak!

Colleen Braun March 30, 2004

great capture, What is a Norman door? #454650

Susie Peek-Swint March 30, 2004

Thanks Colleen! The church was built after the Norman conquest in 1066. This door has survived for over 900 years and still quite well preserved. It has not been screened off inside the church and can be examined close up. It makes you think of all the history that has gone by since it was built! The door is still hanging on it's original hinges.. they must have built things to last in those days! Cheers to you, Susie #454674

Thank you Murry, Sharon, and Sue! #454881

Wally Orlowsky March 30, 2004

Absolutely terrific, Susan. I think "bleak" is perfect for this one. #454983

Susie Peek-Swint March 30, 2004

Thanks Wally! It was probably also a bleak period for poor old Harold! :( #454994

Terry R. Hatfield March 30, 2004

Hi Susie! The Old Door Still Looks Great I Thought It Had A Mirror In It At First The Reflection You Caught Is Amazing! Nice Find! #455043

Susie Peek-Swint March 30, 2004

Thanks Terry! At first I was rather disappointed that the door was protected by glass, until I started looking at it from different angles for reflections.. always a silver lining somewhere eh? Best to you, Susie #455054

Debra Booth March 30, 2004

Susan, This is very, very wonderful. Great shot. #455311

Carol Brill March 30, 2004

Terrific perspective and I love how you caught the texture in the wall and wood as well, Susie, it really adds to the aged feel of this image...knights on horseback could be riding by at any time to rescue fair maidens!! #455440

Susie Peek-Swint March 31, 2004

Thanks so much Debra, Kathy, Darren, Pete, and Carol!
Carol, if I ever get clever enough with special effects I may be able to do a collage from these shots and feed your imagination! :) #455494

Karen R. Rubeiz March 31, 2004

Hi Susie! This is so deceiving, it appears that you are inside looking out.
Can you enter the building at all or is it just viewable through the glass?
Karen

Susie Peek-Swint March 31, 2004

Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by. You can certainly see it and touch it. It is protected on the outside from the elements but inside the church pews are right up against it. Here's the link to the church itself, which is in my gallery.. if you want to see it: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.php?photoID=288725

Best to you, Susie #456576
