City of Gold

We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye,
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard:


'They got no horns and they got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?'


Genesis. Trick of the tail.

View of Cheltenham from the garden, briefly picked out by a patch of sunlight amid the otherwise muggy gloom.  Pushing the lens somewhat, and quite a lot of recovery on photoshop, but then it is 15 miles away.

Mowed the grass (I hesitate to use the word 'lawn') and generally tidied things a bit, given we've visitors on Sunday.
