This is Bath Abbey, an Anglican cathedral in the town of Bath, England. From Wikipedia: "The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganized in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country."
I can't impress upon you all how amazed I am when I find out these incredibly historic churches and cathedrals have been around in one form or another since, like this one, the 10th century! And if you've ever seen the excellent miniseries or read the book "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet (one of my favorite writers) you know that it took generations of folks to build these magnificent buildings.
On the right of this photo is a white shop with blue trim. It's a camera store, and it appeared right when I needed it. I felt so blessed! My latest lens, a 10-20mm wide angle (used at 20mm to shoot this photo) allows me to get full frame images where I was using my old lens with an adapter, and getting a cropped frame. This also means the files are a LOT larger, and I was speeding through 128GB SD cards like mad. So I bought two more at the little camera shop in Bath.
