The east end of the choir preserves much of its original stained glass, believed to have been installed c1340. The two easternmost clerestorey windows on the north and south sides respectively are more or less complete and contain an array of sainted figures beneath rich canopies.They are less well known than the more famous east window but are important survivals in their own right.

 

Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.

 

Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.

 

Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.

 

Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.

 

One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.

 

Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

Note the wheelbarrow (on the left) for scale

The Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) was an astronomical instrument comprising 23 radio telescopes. These telescopes formed an astronomical interferometer where all the signals are combined in a purpose-built computer (a correlator) to produce high-resolution astronomical images. The telescopes ceased operation in April 2015 and were relocated to the Owens Valley Radio Observatory for storage.

This is the Solar Array, the two Current Limiting Inverters are connected to. It's a poor photo, but I assure you it is level :)

 

Right now, it's not at its optimum angle to the Sun. I have to dig

holes for the front posts to sit into. But at least for now, the solar panels are not down in the mud, when it rains.

 

Three panels per inverter.

 

In the coming weeks/months I will have to develop a battery bank to off load energy not needed.

  

Not to be confused with the Very Large Array (VLA), which consists of 27 antennas all at one location, the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) consists of 10 radio telescopes located as much as 5000 miles apart. The distance between any two stations is known as their baseline and the longer the baseline, the greater the resolution they are able to capture. These ten radio antennas work together as an array that forms the longest system in the world. Each dish is 82 feet across and weighs approximately 218 tons.

  

Antenna locations are:

 

Pie Town – New Mexico (pictured above)

Kitt Peak – Arizona

Owens Valley – California

Brewster – Washington

Mauna Kea – Hawaii

St. Croix – U.S. Virgin Islands

Hancock – New Hampshire

North Liberty – Iowa

Fort Davis – Texas

Los Alamos – New Mexico

  

Watch a brief video of the antenna rotate as it is repositioned
