Far up above our heads....

 ...lurked this fellow in the CCT church of St Mary's in Shrewsbury. The volunteer very kindly shone her torch upon this fellow high up and barely visible to the naked eye. Mr GBT is a dab hand with a long lens and we were able to show the lady the detail of him as she'd never seen a close-up shot before. I mentioned in passing that this is the first greenman I've seen in what seems like rather a long time. She too shares my passion and used to lead spiritual tours round the non Christian sacred sites in the country. It's always good to find a kindred spirit❤


Have a great weekend folks.

    What were the old artisans thinking putting such fine detail so far out of range of normal eye-sight? Out of sight, out of mind... over time the meaning, the story, gets lost.

      Usually the very naughty stuff is high up and hidden away in dark corners! Arilx
