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 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.

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.

The Cambridge Central Mosque is Europe's first eco-friendly mosque and the first purpose-built mosque within the city of Cambridge, England.
In 2009, Marks Barfield Architects won the competition with their calm, oasis concept of a British Mosque for the 21st century – Europe’s first eco-mosque.
The £23m project, opened its doors in April 2019 and since then has won a host of architectural accolades, including Architect’s Journal (AJ) Best Community and Faith Project 2019, Brick Development Association (BDA) Best Public Building 2019 and four Structural Timber Awards 2019, including Project of the Year. More recently, Cambridge Mosque has won RIBA East Project Architect of the Year, Building of the Year, Client of the Year and Regional Award and was shortlisted for the 2021 RIBA Stirling Prize.

The Bridge of Sighs in Cambridge is a covered bridge at St John's College, Cambridge University. It was built in 1831 and crosses the River Cam between the college's Third Court and New Court. The architect was Henry Hutchinson. It is named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, although they have little architecturally in common beyond the fact that they are both covered. The bridge, a Grade I listed building, is one of Cambridge's main tourist attractions and Queen Victoria is said to have loved it more than any other spot in the city.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
King's College, University of Cambridge, 1/3 "Blue" series. Had to follow up the "green" series with this one. My favourite colour combination: blue and green.

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.
