The Apprentice Pillar.

First, my thanks to Velofor for suggesting that yesterday’s monkey is something he knows as a “devilish Imp.” It certainly seems more plausible than my thoughts though I can’t find out anything about them. But the idea does seem to trigger something in the dark recesses of my brain though, for the life of me, I can’t work out what.
 
And thanks also to KayBee for pointing out that the long delay when using slow shutter speeds is due to the “long exposure noise reduction” system; I now need to work out if the noise reduction is worth having or not.
 
We returned to the Chapel today to retake the pictures and they turned out much better, I was even fitted out with a hi-vis jacket while  the guides pointed out to the visitors that I was there on official business.
 

The outcome has been that I was allowed to spend the rest of the day processing pictures on Photoshop without a murmur from Herself. The blip is of a bit of foliage decorating the top of the of the Apprentice Pillar; I think it looks rather elegant. Look here for the legend associated with the pillar and note that it dates from  300 years after the pillar was constructed.
