Ely Cathedral
Sunday afternoon we drove about an hour away to Ely to see the Ely Cathedral. It's a local landmark we've been wanting to see for some time.
The cathedral can be seen from miles away; it's quite massive-looking on the horizon, but not so intimidating up close.
We were amazed at the density of detailing. There must be millions of man-hours of craft.
We also visited a museum of stained glass, inside the cathedral on a second floor.
I also didn't realise it until skimming the Wikipedia article, but the cathedral features prominently on the cover of Pink Floyd's last studio album, The Division Bell.
Afterward, we went to the Maybush pub for dinner, arriving just in time to see the waning sun before it clouded over again.
