29.10.12 - New View?

This is a very unusual shot of Lincoln Cathedral, I bet most visitors never see it. It is from the cloisters, looking up at the North trancept, with the main central tower hidden behind. This is a very quiet corner of the cathedral, and it offers some wonderful perspectives that are rarely seen,
29.10.12 - That's my Photo :)

Running alongside the Sausage Festival at the weekend was a celebration of Lincolnshire Food and Farming in the Cathedral. It was unusual seeing this beautiful building full of tractors and vegetables, but even stranger to see this old photo of mine in pride of place!

About 4 years ago the Cathedral made a photo book, I got three photos in it, and this image of the floodlit Cathedral at dusk was on the dust cover. Maybe one day I'll own a room large enough to have a print this size on my wall :)

We spent most of yesterday with the internet down at home, luckily it was sorted out later in the day. But that is nothing compared to what friends and family are going through with Hurricane Sandy, stay safe guys :)
23.10.12 - Soaring...........

Lincoln Cathedral is a beautiful building in any conditions, but at night in the fog it is the most photogenic building on the planet, in my opinion of course :)

This is from my guided photo walk last night. It was a bit last minute after I saw the weather forecast, we've waited a long time for a night like this, and it didn't disappoint. 

I'm not a religious person at all, but there is no denying the beauty of this place, and you have to admire how they managed to build it with wooden scaffolding and home made ropes. Lincoln is the third largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, and dates from 1086. For many years the towers were topped with wooden spires, which made it the tallest building in the world for several centuries. John Ruskin described it as "the greatest building in the world", feel free to visit us soon, I'll give you a guided tour :)
05.10.12 - Cathedral Glow

Apologies for using this view yet again, but it was this or another wedding pic :)

This was from my guided photo walk on Thursday evening, Lincoln Cathedral viewed from Castle Square. The Cathedral changes colour with the conditions, it was glowing particularly nicely here. The reverse view of the castle behind me is here;

Thanks for the wonderful comments on my dancers in a glass wedding composite yesterday, I had a lot of fun making it  and was pleased how it came out :)
06.07.12 - The House on the Hill

The Cathedral often features in the background of my pics, but it's been a while since I posted one like this. It was a very wet grey day until late afternoon, this was taken just as the last rain clouds moved away, and I liked the way that details in the stone work were starting to come out. The Cathedral is a bit like an ornamental rock face, in that it changes colour all the time. Some times it is dark grey, others it shines bright golden. One day I'll do a collage showing the full range!

Originally built in 1086 it has changed considerably over the centuries. It is the third largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, but when it had spires on all the towers it was the tallest building in the world. The central spire blew down in a gale, the other two were removed much later as a safety precaution. John Ruskin described it as the greatest building in the world, who am I to argue :)
15.03.12 - Silhouettes

A shot from last night's photo walk, my God it was cold and windy up by the Cathedral, good job there was a nice pub just round the corner :)
