Taken in Winchester Cathederals Crypt, unfortunately it wasn't flooded at the time (when the crypt is flooded you get a wonderful reflection of the ceiling on the water etc, very atmospheric) but the picture still turned out OK

:jawdrop: That's...BEAUTIFUL. Please go into further detail with the whole flooding thing, as I don't know what this is. All I know is I'm going to fav the picture because it's pretty. ^^;

Well, I'm not sure why exactly but the crypt normally floods every winter, must be something to do with where it was built as I recall they had to employ a diver in 1905 to underpin it due to waterlogging or something, he had to work up to six hours a day, often in 20ft (6m) of water, and in total darkness for six years.
Anyway here's a link to a picture of it flooded, have a look and you'll see what I mean [link]

Oh I see! Wow, that's beautiful flooded like that. But swimming around in a dark flooded crypt doesn't sound like an ideal job. :shrug: Maybe he got used to it after six years. :D Anyway, this is still a beautiful photo.

very cool ... super moody ... i know, it's a crypt, but still, very nicely captured
i think the fact that he's standing there doing something as mundane as reading a book seems kinda spooky, like he was just stood there reading, & suddenly ... turned to bronze O_O
i guess this way he gets to read in his favourite spot without getting bad joints from standing ankle-deep in water all the time lol
