Halfway down the nave is an area known as the crossing, where the great transept cuts across at right angles. / Looking up is the lower portion of the central tower. / I love the lines; its hard to imagine this was built almost 1000 years ago! / Lincoln Cathredral, May 2008. / /
Lincoln Cathedral, or Lincoln Minster as it is also known, dates from 1072 when William the Conqueror instructed that the bishopric of this, then the largest diocese in England (covering the lands between the river Thames and the Humber), be moved from Dorchester, near Oxford, to Lincoln, where he had already established a castle in the old Roman upper city. The first Norman Bishop of Lincoln, Remigius had previously been a Benedictine monk, and a loyal supporter of William at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The cathedral was finally consecrated in 1092. It has dominated the skyline of Lincoln since then and is a prominent landmark from many parts of Lincolnshire. Another in my series of Lincoln cathedral images, this time showing the area of the High Altar. /

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
The grand staircase, this time shot with only available light/mirk for a more unsettling ‘Silent Hill’ look. Just a little light tone mapping to avoid burn-out and retain shadow detail, otherwise this is all natural – including the small scrap of very blue wallpaper in the bottom left.
As I walked up the very steep hill towards the castle and ‘old town’ Lincoln, England, I came across this cross roads of old shops, a pub, and houses. You could sense that this had been area of community life at one time. The history this place has seen exists only in the mists of time, captured by the imaginations of those few who choose to listen to the stories and dare to dream. For me, on this foggy day, for a moment I was transported in time in my mind to the victorian time with the bustle of the industrial age! This is a HDR of three bracketed shots.

Lincoln Cathedral shares with Durham the most spectacular placing of any of the British cathedrals. It can be seen from approximately 20 miles in certain directions. The Cathedral was built mainly in three periods: Norman (1075-1092), Early English (1191-1250 then 1256-1300) and then alterations and additions in 14th & 15th Centuries. In the late 17th Century the Wren Library was built and the cloister walk restored. Various other works and restorations have been carried out ever since. The Cathedral is 482 ft long and the crossing tower is 271 ft high. The chancel vault is 74 ft high and the nave 82 ft. The majority of stone used in the construction is local Oolitic limestone. The main visitors entrance is by the south door in the west front and as you enter the Cathedral shop is on your extreme right. Sometimes you may find the Nave full of chairs in rows but very often it is completely empty and is quite breath taking. Do come and enjoy a visit! / Sold as a framed print from my shop in Louth Canon 5D Mk2 / ISO 200 / F14 / HDR / Handheld / Raw file split into 3 exposures -2 0 +2 / Photomatix, tonemapped
Decided to upload another angle of a pic posted several months ago called tubular green. This is a view looking up inside of an old empty WWII water tower-possibly better than the first pic?

This is the giant face which is turning heads in the centre of Lincoln. The sculpture, the work of artist Rick Kirkby, has been placed on the large end wall of the Drill Hall in the city. It takes the form of a large metal face, welded together from small strips of stainless steel which will look out towards the main entrance of the venue. This wonderful sculpture lit with the lunchtime suns rays splintering refracted shards of light and shade all over the redbrick wall the metalliic visage was fixed to.

Can you see the image of one of the President’s mentioned in the poem? hint – look in the upper right hand corner to find the profile of “a bearded man in the stovepipe hat” (without the hat). I guess our work has his approval. / scroll to the bottom of the description to see where to look. Featured in / Love Is / Country Bumpkin This is a collaboration with VampyreAce. The poem A Tribute to 9/11 is his work – the cloud background is our image. When you leave comments for us, please be sure to stop by his site to let him know your reactions and feelings, too. Thank you. Many Thanks to VampyreAce for allowing us to use his amazing poem. A Tribute to 9/11 Two thousand one, nine eleven / Five thousand plus arrive in heaven. / As they pass through the gate, / Thousands more appear in wait. / A bearded man with stovepipe hat / Steps forward saying, “Lets sit, lets chat.” They settle down in seats of clouds, / A man named Martin shouts out proud, / “I have a dream!” and once he did / The Newcomer said, “Your dream still lives.” Groups of soldiers in blue and gray / Others in khaki, and green then say / “We’re from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine” / The Newcomer said, “You died not in vain.” From a man on sticks one could hear / “The only thing we have to fear. / The Newcomer said, “We know the rest, / trust us sir, we’ve passed that test.” “Courage doesn’t hide in caves / You can’t bury freedom, in a grave,” / The Newcomers had heard this voice before / A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores. A silence fell within the mist / Somehow the Newcomer knew that this / Meant time had come for her to say / What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day. “Back on Earth, we wrote reports, / Watched our children play in sports / Worked our gardens, sang our songs / Went to church and clipped coupons / We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought / Unlike you, great we’re not” The tall man in the stovepipe hat / Stood and said, “Don’t talk like that! / Look at your country, look and see / You died for freedom, just like me” Then, before them all appeared a scene / Of rubbled streets and twisted beams / Death, destruction, smoke and dust / And people working just ‘cause they must Hauling ash, lifting stones, / Knee deep in hell, but not alone / “Look! Blackman, Whiteman, Brownman, Yellowman / Side by side helping their fellow man!” / So said Martin, as he watched the scene / “Even from nightmares, can be born a dream.” Down below three firemen raised / The colors high into ashen haze / The soldiers above had seen it before / On Iwo Jima back in ‘44 The man on sticks studied everything closely / Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly / “I see pain, I see 20 tears, / I see sorrow – but I don’t see fear.” “You left behind husbands and wives / Daughters and sons and so many lives / are suffering now because of this wrong / But look very closely. You’re not really gone. All of those people, even those who’ve never met you / All of their lives, they’ll never forget you / Don’t you see what has happened? / Don’t you see what you’ve done? / You’ve brought them together as one.” With that the man in the stovepipe hat said / “Take my hand,” and from there he led / five thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven / On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven.

Lincoln Cathedral (in full The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, or sometimes St. Mary’s Cathedral) is a historic Anglican cathedral in Lincoln in England and seat of the Diocese of Lincoln in the Church of England. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for nearly a quarter of a millennium (1300–1549), though this height has been questioned.[1] The central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt. It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared, “I have always held… that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.” Canon 5DMK2 / F16 / ISO 100 / 24mm / HDR / Handheld / 1 Raw File Split Into 3 / Tonemapped in Photomatix
