⁣ Canon EOS 250D | 20mm | 1/640s | f/4.5 | ISO 100⁣ Taken on 29/08/2020.⁣ ⁣ Many visitors to Cambridgeshire never make it past the captivating university city of Cambridge.⁣ ⁣ But beyond this breathtaking seat of learning, the flat reclaimed Fens, lush farmland and myriad waterways make perfect walking and cycling territory.⁣ ⁣ The extraordinary cathedral at Ely would be a headline attraction anywhere else. Somehow it isn't. Which is why it appeals to me so much! ⁣ ⁣ Dubbed the 'Ship of the Fens' because it's so visible across the vast, flat sweeps of land, Ely Cathedral is a sight to behold with its masterly 14th-century octagon and early 12th-century nave.⁣ ⁣ Ely has actually been a place of worship and pilgrimage since 773 and became a cathedral town in 1109.⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:⁣ ⁣ You can arrive at Ely by train from London King's Cross station or Cambridge with 'Great Northern', or from Norwich or Peterborough with 'Greater Anglia'.⁣ ______________________________________⁣ ⁣ #Ely #ElyCathedral #TheFens #Fens #Cambridgeshire #VisitEngland #Rg_Wywh #TravelWriting #BestDestinations #CondeNastTraveller #Jaw_Dropping_Shots #ArchitecturePhotography #Cathedral #AmazingPlaces #HiddenGem #BestOfBritain #GloriousBritain #CapturingBritain #TravelEngland #InstaEngland #BritishSummer #Staycation #JustGoShoot #Wonderful_WonderfulPlaces #NatGeoTravel #FlashesOfDelight #2InstaGoodPortraitLove #TravelAndLeisure #ExploreMore #NeverStopTravelling (at Ely Cathredal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTasgLSITsN/?utm_medium=tumblr

The result is a chaotic web sparkling in saltwater and suffering. Setting is essential - and I will come to that - but the commonalities that exist between the stories go beyond space; recurring themes and motifs allow Johnson to dive deep into the essence of humanity and explode, viciously, out of its fleshy confines. 🐟 Through themes of femininity, sexuality, pregnancy, and motherhood a deliciously feminist exploration of the physical, visceral body appears across narratives. Memory, communication, language and words provide a linguistic exploration of human horror, unravelling constructs of physicality and reality. 🐟 The collection thus creates a complex, fractured, and unsettling picture of the Fenlands. It is cosy and uncanny in a single breath. The sense of place is strong and consuming. I feel now that I know the Fens; I know now that I felt the Fens in every word I read. 🐟 Geographically situated in the east of England, the Fenlands are a costal plain - they are marshy and flat, situated close to sea level and seemingly unending. The Fens have ecological superpowers, absorbing storms; in the liminal space of Johnson's 'Fen' these storms break into a haunting masterpiece. 🐟 To @new_gothic_review: THANK YOU! What a wonderful recommendation... all that time ago. 🐟 If you're yet to read it, I urge you: do so! And if you've read it, help me to place it: geographical, ecological, or folk horror? weird fiction? magic realism? Where do the 'Fens' exist? . #fen #daisyjohnson #shortstories #bookstagram #bookreview #generallygothic #ecohorror #folkhorror #thefens #fenlands #weirdfiction #magicrealism #summerreads #spookynerd #contemporarygothic https://www.instagram.com/p/CRouXqgr0EL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Went on a million mile walk on Friday eve with two amazing people that have made this madness a little less awful. It was wet and windy at times, sunny and gorgeous at others - a bit like lockdown has felt - but ultimately a fantastic evening! #lockdownwalks #thefens #spalding https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJcXVVjOEdDbuLyRofoB-JUGHMw5oSMFV-iFE0/?igshid=1efnyuciv99kk

⁣ Canon EOS 250D | 22mm | 1/400s | f/6.3 | ISO 100⁣ Taken on 29/08/2020.⁣ ⁣ Formerly an island and surrounded by dramatic lowland fens, Ely was originally known as Isle of the Eels.⁣ ⁣ The city name is thought to have derived from the local eel fishing industry and is a tradition celebrated today through the Eel Trail Heritage Walk. It's worth following the bronze eel waymarks as they'll lead you past many places of historical interest including five pieces of public art depicting the local eel connections.⁣ ⁣ One of the most visited landmarks in Ely is the former house of the city's most famous resident Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England.⁣ ⁣ Another is Ely Cathedral, one of England's largest Cathedrals famous for its unique Octagon and Lantern Tower along with medieval carvings and monastic buildings. Located in the South West Transept of Ely Cathedral is the Stained Glass Museum—the only museum of its kind.⁣ ⁣ In addition, Ely has a beautiful waterside area where you can enjoy a boat trip, relax in the Jubilee Gardens or visit the specialist antique shops and places to eat by the quayside.⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:⁣ ⁣ Take the 'Great Northern' train from London Kings Cross station or Cambridge heading for Kings Lynn. You can also get to Ely from Norwich or Cambridge with 'Greater Anglia'.⁣ ______________________________________⁣ ⁣ #Ely #ElyCathedral #TheFens #Cambridgeshire #CambridgeshirePhotographer #England #VisitEngland #Insta_Global #Britain #ExploreBritain #CapturingBritain #BritishSummer #VisitBritain #CloudySky #JustGoShoot #PeoplesCreatives #ExploreToCreate #PassionPassport #Loves_Britain #QuintessentiallyEnglish #Architecture #ScenicLocations #EnglandsBigPicture #OutdoorCulture #AdventureMore #Epic_Captures #Tourism #TourOfBritain #BBCTravel #GuardianTravelSnaps (at Ely, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHzwe-lFpPu/?igshid=1wrdi3uohcm52
