Next we headed back from the Castle through Carlisle and ran across the Cursing Stone. This stone has a reputation for cursing anyone who posseses it. Helen and I decided that the city of Carlisle should make a gift of it to Parliament and ship it off to London ASAP:
I'm sure that's a better use than it's getting in Carlisle.
Then we happened across Carlisle Cathedral. Good Grief but this town is beautiful. Here are a couple of pics with the Cathedral at different angles:

Here is a shot (dark) from inside the Cathedral. You most likely can't see it in this photo but one of the er....I can't remember what they are called but I'll say "buttons" in the ceiling is a face. There is a mirror on a podium in the nave that is focused on it. Again, amazing. The whole ceiling is done in navy blue and gold stars.
And one more that actually came out a bit of one of the stained glass windows:
That's all for now...Next UP (tomorrow, once I've uploaded them) a few pics from the Carlisle Aviation museum where Alex (cessna51towser) volunteers.)
Have a good evening all.
