The Moat.

The official abode of Bishop of Bath and Wells is the Bishops Palace, Wells, in Somerset,
The main entrance and drawbridge can be seen behind the distant swan, A large view may be required! Note the pigeon in the arrow slit on the right!
Captured late afternoon on an early spring day,

Construction began around 1210 under Bishop Jocelin. The palace features medieval architecture, including a vaulted Undercroft, the Long Gallery, and the ruins of the Great Hall. It sits within a moat (with resident mute swans) and includes springs that gave the city of Wells its name.

HWW to all, especially Pam!

I love this amazing architecture, Roger. I love the reflection too. The ducks and the hanging branches add to the composition. I hope you have a great evening. All the best, Joe
