Taken this day, 2022, an evening in Cloisters https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/52578292013/in/photostream/lightbox/

Taken with my "beer tripod" - sitting the camera on top of an empty pint glass to steady it for a low-light shot.

The undercroft between the quadrangles of Glagsow University. More commonly referred to as the cloisters, it forms a key feature of George Gilbert Scott's magnificent university buildings.

This week's pix come from a visit to Gloucester, Bath and Wells a few weeks ago, starting with a set from the magnificent #GloucesterCathedral . The #cloisters are particularly fine and featured in #HarryPotter movies.

Another piece of ancient #history for #Caturday! 😸 This #drawing (also called a #graffiti) of a #cat can be found in the #Cloisters of #SalisburyCathedral. It may have been made by a Durch prisoner of war in the late 17th century. There are several graffitis all over the #church, you can even take a tour to see them. (I didn't but stumbled across this fellow by chance)

A slightly low-angle shot focuses on a weathered grey stone slab in the foreground, upon which a simple, etched drawing of a small quadruped, possibly a cat, is visible. The stone is damp and reflects a small puddle of water. Behind the stone slab, a neatly trimmed, low green hedge separates the foreground from a paved area with arched openings and decorative asterisk-like carvings on the upper level of the Cloisters of Salisbury Cathedral. To the left, a portion of another grand stone structure with pointed arched windows is partially visible. The overall lighting suggests an overcast day, casting soft shadows. The scene evokes a sense of history and quiet contemplation within the grounds of an old building.

Black and white photo of the cloisters at St John’s College. Repeating arches can be seen in a long line stretching out in front while sunlight is beaming in from the right side of the photo, casting interesting light patterns on the path. A large wooden door can be seen in the left side of the frame.

Beer sundial - a sundale, perhaps?

Sunlight pouring in from behind me, illuminating a pint of cloudy ale, casting a translucent shadow at an angle, like a beer sundial

"One must always walk the Earth with wonder, for it is full of miracles to be witnessed"

Original day off plan was for cinema, but wasn't in the mood. Instead, enjoyable stroll, then pint and continue my reading in Cloisters.

An exhibition catalog. The cover shows a black painted wooden relief sculpture by American artist Louise Nevelson. Entitled Louise Nevelson: Recent Works

A book entitled The Cloisters: Medieval Art and Architecture, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The cover shows a photo off an gothic archway, an entrance to the museum.

Today amongst the Gothic arches in the cloisters of Glasgow University's 1870s Gilbert Scott Building. Can you spot the ghost in the reflection?

An area of cloisters with a gothic arched ceiling reflected in a puddle on the floor. In the reflection, there appears to be a ghost leaning on one of the columns.

For #FensterFreitag here are the cloisters at Chichester Cathedral. I worked a couple of minutes walk from here for several years so my lunchtimes to get away from the desk would quite often either involve the cathedral buildings and its gardens, or the precinct centre, always with camera in hand for anything of interest.

$A black and white photo with fairly high contrast lending a lot of depth to the shadows. We're standing in medieval cloisters, against the right hand wall and looking down the length of the walled-in area of this religious building as it stretches diagonally from bottom left up to the right. The long wall we're looking at is punctuated by large gothic windows, each at least two metres across at the base, and over that in height, and each broken up into smaller, tall gothic-arched window sections framed with stone columns: four along the bottom, two sets of two smaller above, then a single set of two at the high point of the main frame. The walls comprise smaller stones set in concrete at the bottom, topped with larger blocks of stone above. Through the nearest arch we can see a tiny fraction of the grounds beyond. Light comes from two open doorways in the wall to our right. We can't see the doorways but can see the shafts of sunlight that stretch across the flagstones on the floor and hit the far wall at an angle, almost appearing as bright gravestone markers against the dark surroundings. Deep shadows hide the ceiling from view and the far end of the cloisters is lost in blackness. It feels cool, shaded, and quiet here.$

#Glasgow University turns 572 years old today, founded 7th January, 1451, so to mark its birthday, here is one of my favourite spots in that part of the city, the gorgeous Cloisters https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/35634971702/

The fourth oldest university in the English-language world (behind Oxford, Cambridge & Saint Andrews).

Have managed decent afternoon walk, take a few photos, by pure chance bumped into someone I've not seen in ages & chatted in Meadows.

Still tire out easily, so Cloisters for seat, drink & sit with book. First time in a pub in weeks, not been in since the surgery. Beer and book therapy now.
