Description
Durham cathedral is the greatest Norman building in England perhaps in Europe. It is cherished not only for its architecture but also for its setting. For this reason it was inscribed together with the castle as one of Britians first world heritage sites.

An unusual view, it does however show off just how much greenery Durham has. Most take it from the traditional shot from down by the river with the archaeology museum in view, a good shot but done to death (and, as been typical of the past couple of years, grey sky). I know the building well, over the years I've drawn it, photographed it and to a certain degree modelled (parts of) it and it's surrounding buildings for an interactive project during my HND (I only live a couple of towns away, a mere 15 minute drive).

Fantastic shot! Looks like you took that one from the roof. Nice view from up there. :)

No mistaking that central tower. Nice POV for a change.

Whenever I see images of these huge cathedrals or castles, I think of how overwhelming they must have been to townspeople when the other buildings were modest and small. This gives an idea of that. Excellent capture!

As 'g puvis' has mentioned above the usual shot (which I also have done) has been done to death and this is a refreshing POV. The view from the top of the tower is wonderful - though it's been many years since I have been up there. Well done.
