The many open doors of Cambridge
My visit to the colleges consisted mostly of walking through any open door that I came across as there was a fierce wind and I wanted to get out of it. This led, of course, to many nice surprises. Many silent hallways and highly decorative college chapels to be found through these doors. Then there's the fireplace at Kettle's Yard Housemuseum. A really special place.
I finished the day at the King's College Chapel with an organ recital of music by Hollins, Vierne and Leighton. It was fairly recent music that traversed different heights and ranges. The fierce wind continued to thrash itself against the windows and walls of the chapel. It became a competition between the assertion of the wind and the bellow of the organ as to what sound could occupy the architecture of the chapel.
