Rainy Night in Durham

  With a delivery to do of a painting over in the Durham area this evening I decided it was a good opportunity to have a bit of an evening out. Delivery done to a happy customer we headed into the city. Durham is a compact historic city centre which is a "must do" if you have never been.
 After a bit of supper I thought it was a great opportunity to have a look at the cathedral. Even though the weather had turned and it was now raining steadily as we walked up to The Green. I had come prepared, tripod and umbrella to hand.

Durham Cathedral.

So impressive to see the cathedral lit up at night, the cloud filled skies perhaps added to the atmosphere. We spent some time just looking at the scene and the surroundings.

Golden reflections.

To some the weather may have been a deterrent but I was glad that we had made the effort, the rain on the pavement looked like gold and it was a thrill to try and capture the scene. I plan to return soon to get more aspects of this World Heritage Site which is so close to where we live.
