Room for the sky.
A place for the eye to wander.
White clouds drift across the blue while the cathedral rises from a canopy of green. From across a room, a sense of openness; close by, the architecture begins to reveal itself among the trees.

In my words.
I have a strong attachment to Salisbury. I’ve worked here often, yet I still find myself drawn back to the paths through Harnham Water Meadows. The city begins to feel different when you approach it through the grass and trees.
In this photograph I wanted to give the cathedral room to breathe. The spire is the point the eye returns to, but the clouds, meadow and deep green canopy are all part of the encounter. The building belongs to this wider world.
A great building can lift your eyes. The landscape around it gives you a reason to linger.
Beyond the familiar view.
Salisbury’s main cathedral was built in an unusually concentrated medieval campaign, beginning in 1220 and consecrated in 1258. The soaring tower and spire came later. That combination of a coherent body and a remarkably slender vertical accent still shapes the whole landscape.
The meadow approach is only the beginning. In my journal I follow the Avon past the Old Mill, then return through lanes and the Cathedral Close. There are tiled walls, old doorways and small discoveries enough to turn a short walk into a very full day.
