Surface Tension from duncmc via flickr.

We got up early on Sunday and briefly escaped the cosseted convenience of Center Parcs. Twenty minutes down the A66 and we hit Ullswater. With the weather as it was we had low expectations, and I was fully prepared to be uninspired by the dull, flat, winter light. As it happens things turned out better than I had hoped.

The Angel Choir in Lincoln Cathedral (which at one time was the tallest building in the world).

The cathedral is a great building. I took lots of pictures but wasn’t really happy with any of them. This one has grown on me since one of my Flickr contacts commented that this ranks with my best. The interior was technically very challenging – under expose the surfaces or over expose the windows. Ideally it needs double exposures or some decent off camera lighting. Either way more thought, time and kit required to make a really decent job of it.

The cooling towers of the mighty Drax power station populate the skies of East Yorkshire with their cloudy emissions.
