The Sanctuary Ring (12th Century) - North door, Durham Cathedral
Saturday was not the most auspicious day for photography. Though there was never more than a mere inkling of January drizzle, the sky above was a heavy grey eiderdown through which weak sunlight was filtered in its struggle to illuminate County Durham. In spite of this, I am sharing ten of my images with you.

"Tommy" on Seaham seafront - the statue weighs 1.2 tons and is over 9 feet tall

I enjoyed your photos. While I'm impressed by those associated with the cathedral (including the LEGO model), I find the statue of "Tommy" quite moving.
ReplyDeleteAh the North Sea on a soft day ! Is it true they cried it the German Sea ?
