I made this slideshow on a weekend trip to Ely to attend a Barry Beckham Digital day, where Barry announced a slideshow completion would follow. I was quite pleased how this one turned out, so emailed the dean of Ely cathedral Dr Michael Chandler asking for his thoughts or comments, needless to say I did not get a response, but the show  still came 3rd in the completion . Abwoon is song by Lisa Gerrard sung in Syriac Aramaic, the language thought to be spoken by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago

Its was the discovery of this site that led ultimately to the creation of the Legacy website. The sense of loss of our heritage at this site is so overwhelming I needed to bring to peoples attention the fact that just as we neglect out graveyards, which are the only monument to the lives of our ancestors, we also neglect our Heritage.

The easiest subject to argue about is theology, because there are no facts to argue about. I seem to find that people, who have strong religious opinions, never want to listen to mine. So disclaimer out of the way, August 2007 saw us spending a weekend in Rome where we spent a few hours in the Vatican, the most amazing piece of baroque architecture I have ever seen, and a testament to the skill of the builder. Because you are almost strip searched before you can enter, all shots were hand held.

A tombstone can be the only monument to the life of a long dead person, a monument that means so much to the loved one left behind, its almost a way to show the world the pain and sadness people feel at their loss. In the UK we seem quite happy to destroy our monuments to the dead, the church it's self being as big a culprit then the one brain cell bums who trash the town cemeteries.

If you visit the continent, you get a different picture, see for yourself.
