I lived in Cambridge then and stalked this shot for months. There were always cars and lorrys parked in the way. Finally, one morning the street was clear and as an added bonus, the cherry was in full bloom. My quintessentially English scene. Note that one of the phone boxes was even in use in those days! This is St. Mary the Great Church (known as Great St. Mary's or GSM) taken from near the market square.
Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 film with my whizzy Canon camera that had eye-controlled autofocus (the EOS Elan IIe).
The glorious sunrise in Cambridge yesterday. This version taken with Fujifilm X-E2 and edited with LR and Snapseed (seems to have added noise).
The ZVL emerges out of the tunnel at Cambridge, Ohio on a rare Saturday run east of Zanesville. The train will cross Wills Creek in the foreground, a tributary of the Muskingum River.
The tunnel most likely dates back to 1854 when the Central Ohio Railroad hastily completed a railroad between Columbus and the Ohio River at Bellaire. Due to numerous rockfalls, a large portion of the tunnel had to be daylighted. The Central Ohio would ultimately become part of the B&O in 1866 and remained an important Cincinnati-Pittsburgh connection until the Chessie abandoned the railroad east of Cambridge in 1983.
A little scene from outside St Andrew the Great church in central Cambridge. Graduation day, which works well with b+w film. Plenty to see here, ice cream stall, people, old buildings, scaffolding etc.

Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial is a World War II American military war grave cemetery, located between the villages of Coton and Madingley, 7 km (4.3 mi) north-west of Cambridge, England. The cemetery, dedicated in 1956, contains 3,811 American war dead and covers 30.5 acres (12.3 ha).
The University of Cambridge donated 30.5 acres of land on the north slope of Madingley Hill to the American military forces for use as a temporary cemetery during World War II in 1943. Following the war, the American Battle Monuments Commission selected Cambridge as the site for America's permanent World War II cemetery and war memorial in the United Kingdom. America's war dead from three temporary cemeteries in the British Isles were consolidated into the Cambridge cemetery during an extensive cemetery construction project, and simultaneously the US Government repatriated approximately 58% of the existing war dead at the request of the surviving family members. Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial was dedicated on 16 July 1956.
The cemetery contains 3,809 headstones, with the remains of 3,812 servicemen, including airmen who died over Europe and sailors from North Atlantic convoys. The inscribed Wall of the Missing includes four representative statues of servicemen, sculpted by American artist Wheeler Williams. The wall records the names of 5,127 missing servicemen, most of whom died in the Battle of the Atlantic or in the strategic air bombardment of northwest Europe.

The Leper Chapel in Cambridge, also known as the Leper Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, is a chapel on the east side of Cambridge, England, off Newmarket Road close to the railway crossing at Barnwell Junction. It dates from about 1125.
The chapel was part of the buildings of a leper hospital that stood a little beyond the outskirts of the city on the road to Bury St Edmunds. Parts of the east wall are original, but most of the rest of the chapel was rebuilt in the 13th century. It still retains many Romanesque features.
In 1199 the chapel was given royal dispensation by King John to hold a three-day fair in order to raise money to support the lepers. Starting in 1211, the fair took place around the Feast of the Holy Cross (14 September) on Stourbridge Common which lies a little way behind the chapel and continues down to the River Cam.
Lamp on the Cambridge pub in Mullberry Street. It's an attractive area with a mix of modern and Georgian buildings. In another life I used to visit this pub.

This photo was taken in February, and was just to show Cambridge before the tourists came in their hoards. Sadly it's now empty due to Coronavirus! Take care all.
A punt is a long wooden boat with a flat bottom. They were initially used by fishermen and traders to transport cargo and goods along the River Thames. At around the turn of the 20th century, they were adopted as a pleasure craft in English towns such as Cambridge.
