View from a Muddy Riverbank
Glastonbury Tor - known locally as Tor Burr - rises some 180 metres above the Isle of Avalon. The tower is associated with the second of two churches known to have existed on the site, and dates from the fifteenth century. My last few trips to England seem to have been accompanied by wet weather. This is a view of the tor as seen from a muddy riverbank to the east.

The Tor from the West
Here is the view from the other side of the tor, this time from a river bridge near to Mark. It looks as though the tor will soon be enveloped in another squall of rain.

The Tor from Jacob's Ladder Tower
This photograph was taken on the one sunny day during my last trip to the area, when I took the opportunity to climb the tower at the top of Jacob's Ladder in Cheddar Gorge.

The Tor from the South
The next day the clouds rolled in again, as I stopped along the B3153 near Kingweston to take this picture.
