you got loads of detail in this, I like the glow of the lamp…this is obviously the time to get pictures of the minster without tourists getting into shot ;)
clickinhistory replied
Well funny you say that, lol a few were around and were very good unlike the arrogant sods from the local army base who pulled up in a van and decided they were going to walk anywhere they liked, even if it meant stepping in front of delivery drivers without looking, they were lucky they did not get run over.
