The Bigger Picture

A filler for today, as have been at work all day, in temperatures reaching 33 degrees C, wearing a mask - hideous!
This was taken at the same time as the cathedral shot I posted a couple of weeks ago, but it shows some more of the city architecture, a monstrosity in the fore ground of a 1960s/1970’s block of flats & to the right Victorian terraced housing. This is probably about a mile & half away from the city, so gives an idea of how imposing the cathedral is.

What a contrast. The beautiful cathedral and the modern 'boxy' high rise.

[Valerie Chesney]

Very different....I am pleased the beautiful cathedral still towers above

[Babs]

Love the juxtaposition of the old and the new. The old wins hands down doesn't it.

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful cathedral. Love the way the other elements show how imposing it is.

[Diana]

Such an incredible sight beautifully captured. Pity that they put a modern block there.

Isn't it just? Masks in the heat and it's dripping wet with sweat in minutes! Nice shot. Shows how the cathedral dwarfs the town.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

What a sight!

[Wylie]

Is this Wells cathedral? It looks amazing. A travesty about the foreground

[Carole Sandford]

@pusspup no this is Lincoln cathedral. I agree.

[Merrelyn]

The cathedral certainly dominates the landscape, such a shame that they built that awful block of flats there.

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely capture ...

I don't know how you keep going Carole. The heat yesterday was far too much for me.

[Carole Sandford]

@boatman137 oh it was particularly horrible Shirley! You could see everyone getting slower as the day progressed!

[tony gig]

Great view and shot.

[Phil Sandford]

Nice view of the old lady

My goodness- it's massive but you can imagine from this shot how it would have looked back when it was originally built- as if God was watching over the city from His mountain. Nice shot!
