Nice innit?

Yes. It certainly is mistletoe - in fact it makes a much better picture than crows' nests might.

Horrible looking thing. Excellent photograph, nevertheless.

Wow. That leaps off the page at you.

Fantastic composition.

This one is lovely - so is the caption under the image - made me smile.

Strange to think this place hasn't changed in centuries, except for the drain covers, the new cobbles, the shiny pan tiles over the concrete buttresses, fresh pointing, new doors and a very modern pigeon!.... but it really does make a very pleasing photograph that holds one's attention, inviting such close examination and forcing one to think about what is portrayed. Great picture!

Somebody has put wire mesh over it. Do the birds try to nest in it I wonder?

As usual, when I get there, everyone has said it all - they are all quite correct.

It's a shame the format of this page prevents you from seeing all of a vertical image. You have to look at the thumbnails to see the whole thing.... and this 'thing' is well worth the seeing.
