	Night Views of Ross from St Mary's Church Spire 2004

On Tuesday 9th March 2004, I returned to the bell tower of St. Mary's Parish Church, Ross-on-Wye to make a later recording of the bells. Whilst there, armed with a miner's lamp, I went up the spire and took these photographs of the town from on high. It was a bitterly cold and windy evening and standing in the dark on the narrow footway - well let's just say it was a good job I was wearing my brown corduroy trousers. Luckily, Roman Sadowski, who accompanied me and carried my tripod gave me a countdown to the chiming of the clock bells, so I was prepared for that shock and held on to prevent myself from becoming a patch of strawberry jam on the Prospect below. Thank you for that!

As always - please enjoy the views. (And don't try this at home.) The 2002 daytime views are here.
