For Today is a Brand New Day

"Do not wake me from this slumber, but be assured that just as I have wept much, I have also wandered many roads with my thoughts." - Mark Z Danielewski, 'House of Leaves'

Snowscapes

Yep, everyone is sick of it by now, but snow is just inherently fascinating to me. These were taken of the Bunkers Hill area of Bowthorpe, Norwich, on a morning when a very familiar world seemed mysterious and shifting. Glad to get back for a cup of tea, mind.

Cheapest Seats in the House

Somewhat cold-looking seats dumped on Bunkers Hill, Bowthorpe, Norwich. They were faced with a beautiful view, though.





The Ruins of St. Michael

The ruins of the medieval parish church of St. Michael, Bowthorpe. Desacrilized in the Reformation, the church supposedly fell into total ruin at the end of the eighteenth century.

In the 1970s, with Bowthorpe being developed as a suburb of Norwich, the Bowthorpe Church Centre was built, and it is this church that serves the community today. St. Michael's occupies the same grounds: indeed, its crumbled walls constitute part of the Church Centre's garden of remembrance.

Both churches overlook the shopping trolley-swamped carpark of the local shopping precinct.
