Durham Cathedral Colour Pop

Durham Cathedral floodlit on a wet winter night, seen across Palace Green with a Victorian lamp post standing in the frame, its warm gold panes the only colour against the silver-grey stone and rain-slicked paving. Portrait format, hushed and atmospheric.

Durham Cathedral was built in the late 11th and early 12th centuries to house the shrines of St Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede, and is the finest example of Norman architecture in England. With the castle beside it, the cathedral crowns a peninsula formed by a loop of the River Wear.
