Ely Cathedral Was Calling Me

- I do apologize. I got a small, but extremely important, snippet of history wrong in this video. I will correct it tomorrow.
This is my reason for coming to England. I needed to photograph this place. And I don't use the word NEED lightly. I NEEDED to do this. Getting my plane tickets and hotel free with points was just icing on the cake.
You can find out more about the inspiration for my visit by taking a look at this image on Instagram by Pli.Panda: / c-ckbh-mxkc Be sure and give him a like and tell him TimChildersPhoto sent you there. He knows I'm here. :)
Also, you can find out more about Ely Cathedral and the art exhibition at elycathedral.org.
The videos on this channel are experimental in nature and filmed entirely on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They should be used as tutorials of sorts to demonstrate how to make various types of videos for TH-cam.
Lovely
You say that this is a long video. At 16 mins and with the subject matter, no way is it too long, the longer the better I say 😃. Just stunning!!! I love ancient architecture, especially when these churches were built with not so much as a hammer, some rope and pulleys and chisels 😳. It would be nice if they could put the heads back on the scupltures. The Am I My Brothers Keeper statues are eerie but impressive👌. I can imagine your awe struck emotions being in such an awe inspiring place. Beautiful music as well 😌. Thank you 👏👏🇦🇺
Thank you!
💯
😊
Your comments @8:17 were so moving. And the Brother’s Keeper sculptures were eerily realistic! And so thought-provoking! It was chilling and sad to see the headless statues and the empty alcoves where statues would have been. Hard to imagine someone thinking all the beautiful stained glass must be destroyed. 😔 Thank you so much for this…it truly is awe-inspiring! God bless all!

@@mm-qm9zh thank you!
Majestic. The intricacy of the handwork it took for this creation is staggering. My imagination cannot comprehend it all. And…for the cathedral to be built on top of another significant historical marker is humbling.
Glad you took the leap across the pond and treated all of us to such grandeur…🤗
❤❤❤
😊
Excellent content. So enjoyed that.
The aw i felt as you were walking through that cathedral! Wow, how can anyone look at that place and not feel God’s presence, not believe! Nothing here comes close to this place. Beautiful, thanks for taking us with you on this adventure!
😊
WOW, just WOW!!! The stained glass is gorgeous and the choir/organ loft is spectacular! I can imagine spending weeks exploring and still not seeing all of it. I agree - no words!! Thank you so much for the tour, leaves us wanting more!!
😊

Thank you!!!

Lovely, inspirational. ❤

This Cathedral is breathtakingly beautiful and steeped in history! Am I My Brother’s Keeper? is truly beautiful! S. Henry a true gift from God. I would need several days to try to take in every precious architectural design which words cannot grasp. I’m so grateful that you shared this soul warming vision with us. Viewing brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing joy into our life. Xoxo

Hi, Tim. The thought of the destruction to that beautiful place just made me cry. Grand places that show the hand of God usually overwhelm me with tears. I had a similar experience seeing the grand canyon the first time. Thanks for showing us Ely Cathedral and all of your trip to the Cambridge area. Have a lovely day, Tim!
😊
The pro of being single in retirement, the ability to go on a sponteous trip! I want to stay at that hotel and visit that cathedral! 😊
💚
Fabulous video! Wish it was longer. Thank you!
😊
Indeed no words to describe the majesty of it all .whew...Thanks for sharing with us Tim....out and about
💚
😊
Thank you Tim.
What a beautiful Cathedral.
Such a shame they did a hatchet job on the original sculptures.
😊
Inspiring - and I live in the UK but never visited. Thgank you Steve
🤗
Wow. That building is so beautiful in video, it must be breathtaking to see it in person. tfs
The video cannot even come close. ❤️
😊
The interior brought me to tears. The detailed stonework brought me to mind of Rosslyn chapel in Scotland! Can't even begin to imagine Ely in her full regale 😢 How sad she was never restored.
hopefully one day in the future it will be fully restore
Beautiful. So glad you got to go.

This fun and mysterious adventure has been awesome thank you so much for sharing with us. So much to take in. ☺️👍
😊
So beautiful! Thank you!

A Taste of Heaven!
Thank you Tim! ❤
yes, a taste of heaven is how it feels
Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous and so very interesting. You captured beautiful video. As lovely as your video is, I have a feeling we will be blown away by your photography you do tomorrow. Thank you so much for including us in this journey. It is an honor to be here. Great, great job!❤
😊
😊
just in awe....
Wow that was awesome! TYFS!
😊😊😊
What can I say? Impressive building. Great use of your video skills. Thanks.
😊
very impressive!
What a beautiful place! I'm always struck by the sharp color contrast between the stonework and wooden parts of cathedrals like this. I've never been in a place like that. The closest I have visited is the Washington National Cathedral in D.C. which I'm sure pales by comparison. I liked the mirror pan shots you did.
That National Cathedral is a truly beautiful place as well! I absolutely love this place
❤👍
😊❤
Breathtaking, Tim! Looking forward to seeing what you capture with your Canon! This is one of those videos I will watch several times! Thank you! Appreciate the links you provided as well!
💚
😊
I always get emotional all when I enter a beautiful church like this, I would be in tears...In spite of its history of defacement it is still awe-inspiring and magnificant, isn't it? Will tune in to your other channel to see and hear more. Enjoying this!
😊
the energy of these places!
The cathedral is incredible and i think you did an excellent job of showing it off to advantage. Terrible about the desecration of some of it but what’s left is utterly beautiful and awe inspiring. Music was perfect. Only little issue is talking about the cannon before it’s in the picture. But it’s insignificant compared to the beauty and peace of the cathedral. Thanks for the unexpected treat
Bad editing on my part. :). I knew it when I did it, but I did it anyway. 😂
😊
Lovely. Glad you gave yourself this present as it was obviously important to you. Opposite end of the spectrum. I think the most beautiful chapel I have been in is Thorncrown in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
🤗
Awe
💚💚💚
Breathtaking architecture! Haven't even seen the stained glass yet. 🤤
magestic!
That was beautiful! The choir loft! I can imagine the sound was so moving. You said the video was long but I could have watched more. The statues of Am I My Brothers Keeper seemed so real. Lovely video.
I could watch more as well!
Beautiful splendor! I could sit there for hours in admiration. So sad they destroyed so much. What an awesome birthday gift! lt will be nice to see more of the area and the outside of the cathedral. See you tomorrow. 😊
😊
I agree on sitting there for hours! I have done thismany times
Wow! Enjoy your trip. What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday! Thank you for sharing! The music you chose added to this Grand Tour.
😊
agree! the best birthday ever!
Beautiful Cathedral
stunning!
You captured it beautifully.
😉😊
Humongous & breathtaking! Surprised 'Am I My Brother’s Keeper?' was permitted inside the Cathedral. Yet, the colorful, realistic & unemotional 'Keeper' statutes are a great addition to acknowledge the desecration & to give current generations that sense of shared humanity. Decades apart, yet cohesion.
💚
😊❤
Loved this video! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
😊❤
🤗
Beautiful. I so enjoyed my trip to the British Isles and all the beautiful places like this. Centuries old.
😊
just so beautiful! I agree with you!
I am in awe! What a beautiful cathedral! Thanks for bringing me along and have a wonderful trip.😊
in awe! same here
Awesome! If this doesn't get your "mojo" back for photography...then you might need to start bowling.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Magnificent cathedral and history. I can't imagine what it must be like to be there. I can understand why you were called back so to speak. The video is amazing. 😊
💯
The architecture is truly magnificent. Looking forward to seeing your photos!
👍💚
😊❤
what a lovely surprise you made for yourself plus sharing this surprise with us thank you. Wow it’s amazing I like it.
Just awesome all around
Ely Catherdal was calling you and we are so happy you answer!❤
❤❤❤
So much to say but so little to say. First of all I must say St. Etheldreda must be given credit for her vision and dedication to her faith. Women have been overlooked in church as they have really truly been Our Brother's Keeper. I say this because my aunt was a Sister of Charity of Nazareth for 70 years. Second the sculptures of Am I My Brother's Keeper are amazing and they are only there until September 1, 2024. Finally the music was perfect. Joan

So….while people were encouraging you to do something on your birthday
how did you keep a straight face??!!
😂 It wasn’t easy!
🤣🤣🤣
@@LifeInMotionDiaries I bet!
I have been angry at what happened during the reformation most of my life. This only adds to my frustration. I am Protestant but also an artist. God said to make no graven images, but I think he meant that they should not be worshipped. People take scripture and blow it up into false doctrine. It happens today too. We can be a pretty stupid lot. Empty alcoves don’t honor Jesus. Hands lifted high and hearts bowed do. Lord, forgive us for our dumb stuff done with absolute conviction. Amen.
we just do not learn...we tried this before and it did not work to our benefit! From ancient Greek temples to byzantium, from Dark ages to reformation and on to the next fanatics that comes our way. Jesus saves us from your followers gets a new minute every few years
