A magnificent Cathedral, building commenced in 1072. It was the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1548), and the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza. In 1548 the spire on the centre tower collapsed and was not rebuilt.
I've tried to represent the Cathedral in this photo as if in the style of a medieval drawing or print - but not using anything else but the camera (no fancy graphics programmes)
Taken from the ramparts of Lincoln Castle. Gives the scale of the building, and the command it has over the landscape around it. Imagine how this building must have looked to the locals when first built, in the 11th Century?

Please check out a friend of mine, Simon Downham, who has photographs of the original Salvador Dali painting 'Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea', on which the above painting, 'Lincoln in Dalivision', is based on.
Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln
Lincoln Cathedral sits on high ground overlooking the city, building work on the cathedral commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period, originally the three towers had slate spires, the spire on the central tower reputedly made the cathedral the tallest building in the world for 238 years between 1311 and 1549 when the spire was blow off in a storm, it was never placed.
The eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.
Although it cost around £9 to enter and walk all around, I was able to get inside and photo from the doorway. Stunning place inside. Note the organ pipes are in the middle of the building.
A day of passing distant storms and thankfully not getting caught in any, this is the final shot from a couple of days on a 1Z10 photography trip around Lincolnshire.
