Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
Although considered doubtful by some, many historians claim it became the tallest building in the world upon the completion of its 160 metres (520 ft) high central spire in 1311; if so, it was the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza, and held it for 238 years until the spire collapsed in 1548, and was not rebuilt. Had the central spire remained intact, Lincoln Cathedral would have remained the world's tallest structure until the completion of the Washington Monument in 1884.
For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster.
Bonn Minster (German: Bonner Münster) is a Roman Catholic church in Bonn. It is one of Germany's oldest churches, having been built between the 11th and 13th centuries. At one point the church served as the de facto cathedral for the Archbishopric of Cologne, because it is the major church of what was then the Archbishop-Elector's residence (Cologne itself having secured independence from his secular government). It is now a minor basilica. It served as the inspiration for the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, as Kaiser Wilhelm II had studied in Bonn.
Its official title is:
'Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York'

The smallest bird in the region, with its colourful crown stripe, always on the move, and difficult to locate at first, best found during winter months and nearly always favours conifers, have not had much luck in the past photographing them, so quite pleased with these.

The Minster was founded in 1101 by the first Bishop of Norwich. It was a Benedictine Priory for 400 years as well as the Parish Church of King's Lynn. The tower on the right is in 12th Century Early English Gothic style. It houses a moon-dial ( more of that later ). The left hand north-west tower is of 15th Century perpendicular.

Managed to get back to Wimborne Minster in Dorset again, this time armed with the Zeiss Wide Angle add on lens to get a little more of this beautiful ceiling etc. in the frame, such gorgeous blues! iPhone 8 Plus placed on the floor and triggered using the Hisy Remote. Initially edited in DxO Photo Lab, then Photoshop to remove a light (the main lights had already been kindly turned off for me, but a rogue light remained), then finally a selected brightess increase in a few areas via Snapseed on iPad Pro.
** I have taken a lot of shots inside churches over the years, This might well be my best attempt to photograph an interior
Beverley Minster is only seven miles from Hull and its the nearest architectural masterpiece I can visit . One of the purest examples of the English Gothic style in my opinion
Beverley Minster, otherwise known as the Parish Church of Saint John and Saint Martin. It is one of the largest parish churches in the UK, larger than one-third of all English cathedrals and is regarded as a Gothic masterpiece.
A fire in 1188 seriously damaged the minster and the town. Much of the church was damaged and complete rebuilding was required. The work would continue until 1420

This is another from my Minster beach long exposure photographs. I was so lucky as the sky burst into such a vibrant colour over the beach huts just as the sun was going down. I used the lee big stopper with a two minute exposure.
