My 4 day trip to Dorset (Day 1 - morning cont.) - Bournemouth - Children's art exhibition on the Queen's 90th birthday at St. Peter's Church - The 21st. April 2016

(...)

I was rather suprised to come across a children's corner in the church  (I wish we had the same type of approach at home) and more so an art exhibition on display.

 

 

Most of the children's artistic works revealed a high level of creativity. I must confess I was  astounded with some of the Queen's representations. Not only did they look very much like the Queen herself but also showed the mastery of the children at using some of the materials.

I finally made it to St. Peter's Church which is said to have been built over  a period of 24 years from 1855. It displayed a number of unusual paintings and a remarkable stained glass work.

 

I was the only visitor but that didn't disturb me because there is quite an intimate relation between me and the worshiping places.  I took my time to look at its beautiful interior because having made my way back towards the East  Upper Cliff drive.

My 4 day trip to Dorset (Day 1 - early morning) - Bournemouth - Strolling along the East Upper Cliff Drive; Hinton Road - The 21st of April 2016

I woke up fairly early in the morning so as to visit the Russel-Cotes Museum and Art Gallery but once it  only opened at ten I decided to walk along the East Upper Cliff Drive overlooking the sea and the Pier that I could see in the distance.  The sight was particularly beautiful and apart from the odd runners down on the beach path and the overflying birds there was nobody to be seen  walking the drive.

From there and rather than walking towards the pier I veered left along the Lower Gardens and into the city centre, with its still empty Burlington arcades towards the Dean Park, where I  sat for a while.
