Walking Tour & King's College

This past weekend, the weather was gorgeous! We spent nearly all day on Saturday and Sunday outside. It was sunny and warm...just perfect. Sunday after church we purchased tickets for a walking tour and also a punting tour/ride. We wanted to share some of our pictures with you.

Our walking tour, which was two hours long, was great. Our tour guide, Stephen, was excellent...knowledgeable yet humorous. Our first stop was King's College, at which we spent about an hour or more.

The "Fellows" building at King's College

This is the main entrance into King's College. It is across the courtyard, opposite the Fellows Building.

King's College Chapel

Next we saw the famous King's College Chapel. Unfortunately, they are doing some work on one portion of the outside of the building, which didn't make for a perfect "Kodak Moment."

The outside of the Chapel.

The inside of the Chapel, looking towards "the screen," which separates this section from the "choir" section.

A view of the walls and ceiling...all the upper walls are stained glass windows.

Here is a view of the "choir" section, looking towards the "screen."

This is a famous painting by Ruben that is nearly 400 years old and was donated to the Chapel in the 60's.
