Uphill Lincoln at Night

Given that the cathedral quarter is lit at night it seemed a perfect opportunity to grab some night shots. A full moon helped too.

Bailgate was very quiet at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night.

and the golden towers of the cathedral were clearly visible.

The details of the cathedral’s west front were highlighted in golden-yellow light.

Whereas the south side was more in darkness and shadow.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. No tripod, I keep saying I will start using one, but I feel a bit daft carrying one around in a town centre! I do have a very fast lens on the camera though it is a 45mm fixed lens so I have to decide what I can include in the shot.

  7. I love night shots and that golden yellow is very appealing. I’m hoping to get a couple of nice ones in Florence but I’ll have to rely on luck and my little friend. 🙂

  9. I found this old post still sitting unread in my mailbox. I guess better late than never 😉

    There is something both mysterious and magical about a scene set in darkness compared to daylight. It’s made even better by the empty streets 🙂
