Stepping Out

There may be grey skies, but there is still lots of lovely textures and combinations to take pictures of. The magnolia trees are all starting to flower. They look magnificent. A few have fallen to compliment this man's stride.
These steps lead to St Mary Le Strand, one of the oldest churches in London. In Norman times the Strand Cross occupied this site. Very little is known about its origins. However it was given a make over in the 14th century that gave it significant importance to the Bishops who dominated the Strand at that time.
