Norwich medieval churches (part 2)

Continuing with the remaining four themes of the photography competition, and following on from the previous post, these are my chosen pictures:

Worship and contemplation: St Peter Mancroft - I took several pictures of the chapel sign, as I felt that from one of these I would find a suitably plain image with reasonable lighting. I considered other churches but came back to what is a fairly serious image in the end.

Art and architecture: St Peter Mancroft -

Again, this church provided great opportunities for another category. After several attempts to find an interesting angle of the carved oak figure of St Paul - with St Peter in the background - this one seemed the most satisfying.

Enjoyment and fun: St Peter Parmentergate, King Street - Here I made a couple of visits to the Tae-Kwon-Do class in the church and decided to enter a shot incorporating the martial arts Mickey Mouse and a student in the background - one of the more light hearted entries.

Innovation and change: St Lawrence, St Benedict's Street - although I made three visits with the camera and tried all sorts of possible angles and subjects ath this church (it has a fashion and textiles display two days a week) I came back to one of my first shots, with a fashion display and mirror reflecting the church window.

Al in all, an interesting project that made me think of Norwich's churches in a wholly new way - which was one of the aims of the competition.
