Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick

It took us only an hour and a half to complete the exploration of the Warwick Castle and after that we came out into the town. I was specifically interested in the town because it is home to the Warwick University, one of the top-most universities in the UK. I would like to pause here and brag that I had been accepted at the University but their letter arrived too late for me to be able to get a visa on time. Ahem! But I'm happy to have studied at the Newcastle University though the teaching staff here could try to be a little more helpful to students.

But I'm happy to have studied at the Newcastle University though the teaching staff here could try to be a little more helpful to students.The first building we saw here was Collegiate Church of St. Mary and we took a customary round of the Churchyard. Some of the graves were really old. The building itself is mostly Gothic with the Crypt being the only surviving Norman part of the building. We'll look at the crypt in a while.The high arches are typical to Gothic Architecture. Ever since I came to the UK, I have started being aware of various types of architecture and am genuinely getting interested in understanding what sets each apart.This is the Church Organ on the wall straight up. There is just once when I have heard such an organ play live and that was in a Church in Newcastle just before Christmas 2010Stained-glass windows can be found in almost all Churches in the UK. Many a times, these windows tell haunting biblical stories. They cast colourful shadows inside the churches rendering the environment mystical and surreal.And now the crypt. Crypts are hidden chambers beneath the floor of a burial vault in a church. And as I mentioned, the Crypt is the only Norman part left in the Church. Crypts have a typical Dungeon-like smell that makes me very uncomfortable.The ceilings are typically vaulted and there are graves everywhere on the floor. At times you cannot avoid walking on them. People do that all the time. But it makes me distinctly uncomfortable.Up in the main church, a double grave of a couple. I was intrigued by the complexity of designs of some of the graves. You would need to be extremely rich and/or influential to get such an impressive vault.I would like to think that the church is an oak-frame building with high ceilings so typical of Gothic architecture or some such thing. But the truth is that I'm not really sure.Some miniature chairs in the church. Compare them with the actual chair placed at the back to get an idea of the scale.Another grave and this time of a man with his pet dog. These sights are so sobering. The finiteness of life is re-inforced again and again.

Main places to see & Top things to do around Dalhousie : Stunning Hill Station in Himalayan State of India

  Dalhousie is one of the most popular Hill Stations in Himachal  and there is lot to explore around Dalhousie. This is small and very well maintained town in Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh . This Photo Journey shares some of the exciting places around Chamba and how to plan a good one day tour through Khajjiar, Chamba & Chamera etc. CHAMERA HYDROLIC PROJECT Chamera Hydroelectric Project is located in Banikhet, 7 kms from Dalhousie. The water body near the lake is very scenic and is a popular boating spot. Chamera Dam is around 40 kilometers from Chamba Town. It takes approximately 1.5 hrs to reach the place is road condition is good. Overall it’s a little dry terrain as compared to Dalhousie and Khajjiar. And temperature also goes up as we go towards Chamera Dam.  As you move out from Chamba town, you follow Ravi river for some time and then take right. After 45 minutes of drive, you get a glimpse of Chemera Dam.
