Pic(s) you took today - an open thread

I had an hour spare today at work so I took a few photos in an old chapel where I had been two weeks ago. I wanted to improve on some of the previous shots.

Frieze depicting scenes from the Crusades.

Some wooden panels that would have formed a complete frieze or painting.....

And the stained glass window and ornaments with a bit, well quite a lot, more dynamic range than last time....

My parents were War time kids ( Dad was involve in the occupation of Germany) and had inherited some of the mend and make do and waste nothing principals of their time. As kids we were subjected to these ideas( although some of it looking back was a sound way of thinking). This morning I was ordered to eat some of the Bacon by Mrs Badger and as all us males know it's best to do what your told ! I started to fry the Bacon and realize my lad had left his tea from the previous night and thought right then real House hold Bubble and Squeak it is the is then ! To get the full experience later on I'm going to explode the house and eat Boiled Beef and Carrots whilst listening to Vera Lyn in a Tin hut in the garden whilst Mrs Badger bangs the outside with a hammer !

Looks like Red Hot Poker

It does indeed Steve, and that's what I thought.

Can't argue with management :)

We used to have them growing just about wild, tried them here with no success.

She did well :)

A dog walk in the Wyre Forest with my point and shoot !

This poor dog ( A supposed working English Springer Spaniel) is terrified of everything and suddenly heard the Deer barking, it is presently working out which way to run ! The other dog ( Working Cocker Spaniel) had already gone to investigate !
