My latest efforts on the Jam & Jerusalem theme for the competition have been around the well known hymn, which apparently (I didn't realise this) was originally a poem about an apocryphal story of Jesus coming to Britain whilst still a boy. He supposedly visited Glastonbury Tor (though I guess not for the festival), and this is the 'mountain' referred to in the opening lines: "And did those feet... ...walk upon England's mountains green?"
Anyway, the hymn gives rise to several potential Jerusalem-themed pictures, and here are a selection (some of these were taken whilst in the Lakes a couple of weeks ago):
"And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green?":
"Among those dark satanic mills":
"In England's green and pleasant land":
