Durham Cathedral, choir.

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 30 July 2017 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Durham Cathedral is a World Heritage site and was built in a Romanesque style with construction starting in 1093. It was originally intended as a monastic establishment to house a shrine containing the remains of St. Cuthbert.

This is the choir, again a three shot HDR but a wee bit shaky because of the dimmer light in there, however I wanted to show that fantastic rose window at the rear.

PENTAX K100D 1/15 second F/5.6 ISO 1600 30 mm (35mm equiv.)
