Lincoln Closer Up

From Lincoln Castle Lucy Tower

Dutifully reporting on all relating to Blacka Moor I found my way once more to Lincoln Cathedral. After all even on the clearest day there's a limit to what can be seen from 40+ miles away (click here).

A whole day can be spent just on the inside of the building. The finest part, the Angel Choir behind the high altar benefits from the visitor taking a pair of binoculars, the beautiful angel carvings are so high. I would estimate though that only one person looks at the angels for every 100 who look at the "Lincoln Imp"; which says something about people's preferences for the cute factor before artistic beauty.




In the 14th and 15th centuries spires were in place above each tower. One collapsed and the other two were removed for safety reasons in the 19th century.

The west front

Architecturally the cathedral is even finer than the Blacka Moor composting facility, which I strained to be able to make out on the horizon from the nearby castle observation tower (on the right in the top picture).

Looking west from Lincoln

Will SWT have the courage to approach the Arts Council for a grant to erect spires on the compost heap enabling Blacka to be visible from Lincoln?

Blacka's own architectural gem.
