Field Research / Ely Cathedral Outing #2

So I've collected some reference material from my trip to Ely Cathedral and I've taken some notes of scaling and some interesting features I did not expect or find when looking at images and research online.

The experience of actually going out into the field and taking the pictures was great and it has given me valuable insight into how important it is to actually go a see, touch, smell and generally feel an environment. When you see something from pictures or video it doesn't give you the understanding of size and how dominating the large, thick walls and pillars can feel.

Overall I was very happy with the reference images I gathered and will proceed to create observations from them and post my findings once I have collected and noted on them.
