1. I think your photos are brilliant, as your most recent post proves. I would consider it if I were you,
   I really enjoy seeing what you see in this way.

2. How did I miss this post?
   If you ever produce photo 1 & 2 as prints then let me know, I think they are cracking.
   Just the sort of things I would notice :o) x

   • Thanks Sam, I have considered possibility of prints from my experimental digital photos previously, but feels strange producing them as art – prob stupid I know. It’s not as though I don’t appreciate art photography, just not sure about mine! Will let you know if I ever do get any done though : )

4. Oh those chairs – don’t you get the feeling of being in a boat in a really old church?
   There’s a world of difference in a church that is used and one for show. I like it when you find little fragments (a bit of coloured plaster, a trace of painting on the wall; sneaky pre-Christian stuff that gets assimilated, local great and good faces along with the stonemasons in stonework or in stained glass) from another time. These are beautiful images Mari.

   • Thanks elaine and you’re right, it is a bit like an old upside down boat in some old churches with their amazing roof beams – many of them also have wooden angels carved onto their beams way up high. We’re a bit spoilt round here for ancient churches I find it amazing just how old some of them are… norman, saxon… the ones with round towers are exquisite!

5. I love your photographs of the “wabi-sabi” like elements in these churches, there does always seem to be something of interest in them. I particularly like the pile of well handled bibles on the pew.

   • Thanks Ian, you’re right the ‘wabi-sabi’ element is what attracts me… also it feels like a treasure hunt in a way – I step into these places and (because I haven’t lived in Norfolk very long) I don’t know what I’ll find… it could be all shiny and wealthy and showy (not interested)… or there will be a magical few elemental ‘still lives’ in a peaceful ancient space. With around 400 such old churches in Norfolk I’ve got plenty of material to discover!
