Lincoln Cathedral

It's not easy taking photos when a biting wind is making your extremities burn with coldness and causing you to shiver and shake uncontrollably.  Sub-zero temperatures, grey skies and a wind so sharp it takes your breath away are not ideal conditions for getting a good shot.  The cold at Lincoln Cathedral last weekend was more like taking a shot than getting one.  But, get some shots I did.  Incidentally, the obscuring of the cathedral by the lamp on the corner was deliberate... not some photographc aberration! ;)

There's something awesome (in the proper sense of the word) about cathedrals.  It's partly their size, of course, and the devotion both religious and constructional that they signify, naturally.  But, above and beyond that they have a certain atmosphere and feel that other large buildings simply don't have.  It doesn't seem to matter what denomination the cathedral represents.  What city it is located in.  Or even when it was built.  There's just something about a cathedral that inspires awe and makes them a fascinating place.

Anyway, a small sample of the photos that I took.  They are admittedly of variable quality... I'm still having a hard time with the Panasonic FZ8 and low-light / indoor situations... as well as the cold-temperature situations mentioned!
