On a more positive note, here's a picture I took in the Chapter House of York Minster a few weeks back. The point of the composition, I suppose, is to get make the context as obvious as the subject:

York Minster Chapter House, February 2014

Also on a positive note, it's been nice to see Richard Hayman's Shire Book of The Green Man displacing more fanciful notions of pagan archetypes & rebirth in Cathedral bookshops of late. Sadly, as Tug's song demonstrates, the old (well, 1939 at least!) fakelore persists.
