Carlisle Cathedral

[Ken Rennie]

Carlisle is my local city 100,000 pop. It is very close to the Scottish border so became a strategic stronghold firstly for the Romans but then as a garrison for the English to either repel invasion from the North or to launch attcks on Scotland. It has an 11th century castle and this 12th century Cathedral. This is a tiny chapel at the back of the Cathedral. I liked the intimacy of the setting in this vast space. I waited for several months until I had weak sunshine coming through the windows at this end of the church. I decided to add a little "atmosphere" to the b & w version. c & c welcome. Ken

Hey Ken,

Very cool! Those old churches and cathedrals are so neat looking. The color version looks really sweet, but the B&W with the added mood really steals the show. I would never have known it was added if you hadn't said anything, great work with the processing.

Both of these are beautiful shots. You live in an area with fantastic history.

 

[Bob Denton]

These are great!

 

[Leslie Hunter]

I love these!

I like the B&W but for me the color is the one I keep looking at. The state of preservation for that chapel is outstanding. Very nice shots - glad you were patient for the light.

Both are beautiful, Ken.
