So Far, So Snowy...

[endlessrarities]

Four days down, one to go.  With an added problem tonight.  My car's MOT was due, so...  Tomorrow I'm braving the perils of Public Transport.  I will require to catch not one, but two, trains, and all to get me to a destination which is just 20 minutes drive away.  Cue the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth!!!

Tonight, I'm going to try and post the missing photographs that I'd hoped to include in yesterday's entry.  They're the atmospheric ones!

Firstly, here's a view of the 'temple':-

And lastly, here's the view looking up towards the roof of the 'temple':-

The detail in the stonework is quite incredible, but then, Hamilton's attention to detail is pretty impressive, no matter what he was working on... 

And tomorrow, I'll take you inside the 'shrine' to the poet himself.

Looking up at the roof of the temple is wonderful--it makes me feel like I'm flying.

All that fantastic detailing at the top of the columns!

I can't help wishing Tesco's and Sainsbury's would go to a little of the same trouble when building their brickbox supermarkets. A little frieze of shopping trolleys or something...

I like the idea of a cornice featuring a frieze of shopping trolleys. Should they be pictured in a line, or in a repeating motif which features two back to back??

The supermarket buildings are just so bland. Even our 1940s wartime structures have more character!
