Kings College - bird framed in flight
I was experimenting with silhouettes again - and was lucky to snap the dove flying as just the right minute. I was very chuffed with this!!
You can see the dove again in the top shot. I love the majestic spires of King's College. You're right mum, I'm going to miss Cambridge. I'll have to make the most of it during the next 7 months.
As you can see, all the punts are named after words that come with the word "three", a clever play on the word Trinity.
American cemetery
One of the loveliest, most peaceful and certainly most moving places in East Aglia is the American Cemetery which stands on a beautifully landscaped hillside just outside Cambridge. It commemorates 3812 American soldiers who died in the Second World War. We visited it today despite the chilly weather and were glad we did.
Every so often you see something that moves you to the core - and seeing this little note under one of the graves was such a moment. Nearly 4000 memorial graves may give you a sense of scale of the war but to trully appreciate the emotional depth of the loss, it just takes a simple note like this. The note was written recently. 60 years may have passed but somewhere out there, a women called Mary still deeply feels the loss of her loved one. True love never dies.
Ely
The highlight of Ely was the cathedral. Very impressive. Built in 1077, it took 292 years to build
This swan was quite a friendly fellow.
