It's one of the few cathedrals in the world where you could catch a nasty dose of religion - i it's light and airy and immense and doesn't have that oppressive atmosphere that makes you whisper. I must admit I rather like super-wides, it gives me a second chance to cut out the bits I don't like ;-) Cheers Douglas Ted Grant wrote: > Douglas Sharp showed: > Subject: [LRflex] Summer in York - Street Scenes > >> Not really my metier, but here are a few attempts at street photography >> - The City of York, mostly within a stones throw of the Minster. > > > Hi Douglas, > If they're attempts at street photography it doesn't get much better.
