With the cost of diesel and petrol at the moment, actually driving to Lincoln each day to take a photograph would be prohibitive, so I hope you forgive the fact that I'm visiting once a week and getting shots for the coming week.
Took this view from Lincoln Castle battlements across the rooftops; it clearly demonstrates the enormous size of the cathedral and how it totally dominates the skyline sat on top of the Lincoln ridge (the prehistoric ice age ridge that runs the length of Lincolnshire, North to South cut by a glacia all those years ago (lincoln is in a natural 'bowl' of the ridge)). The cathdedral is visible all around the city for many miles.
Thank you for you engagement on yesterday's offering - very much appreciated
@louannwarren It's simply mind blowing to think that the building commenced in 1072, almost 950 years ago; many of the buildings we put up today don't last 100 years, let alone 900
"It's simply mind blowing to think that the building commenced in 1072, almost 950 years ago; many of the buildings we put up today don't last 100 years, let alone 900" Not to mention how ugly the new buildings are and how much of the architectural art is lost... With all the current technology, man could no longer build such structures, both beautiful and enduring.
Thank you so much for sharing this series. It really is a delight.
When I first started with 365 I tried to take a shot and post every day but soon found out that, as you say, life gets in the way. I’ve stopped stressing about it and now take a more relaxed approach. The purpose of 365, in my view, is to motivate us to get out and shoot on a regular basis and if we are doing that it doesn’t matter if the shot was taken on the day it is posted. By the same token I find it hard to follow and comment each day on everyone’s posts. I have looked back on your month of Lincoln Cathedral images and have to say, well done. I really like the way you have interspersed detail shots of the cathedral with views of it from around the town.
Wow, save you fuel. I agree with Chris Cook. And then there are challenges like this 30 shots of the same subject when spring is busting out all over. I hope I can post some of my spring shots in May when we start to dry up. I do love this shot with the Cathedral so visible over the town. The information you include is interesting also.
Your project, your rules, I do exactly the same if there's a theme going. The fact that I'm still thinking 365 every time I go out (and its been over 10 years) is good enough for me, no matter when I post the shots.
Amen, Kathy! The cost of fuel is really changing a lot of my "just wandering" trips - so when you go, you have to take advantage of it. This is an interesting view here of the Cathedral
