Reflecting Eve in Durham

Now - this photo - to my mind is my greatest from Durham.
Just look at that cloud!!.

Cathedral Gravestone

This Gravestone took my attention as this lady passed away 200 yrs before I was born, and she dyed at the age of 80, thats some years in that time.

Just found  Medumsley - or Medomsley and found this surname. here.

Shadows in the Cloisters

Harry Potter comes to mind here?.

Durham Cathedral

What a wonderful building, Can they build like this nowadays? I guess not.
Then the sun shone, and the Cathedral came alive with colour.

Door knocker, tap tap, you may enter, but NO photos allowed!! - Oh bother.
Still I snuck in quick and captured this window.

Three Tuns Hotel

On the stairs and in the lobby of the 3 Tuns Hotel.
You can get some great deals if you check on line first here.
It cost us £36 each per day, thats Bed Breakfast and evening meal(3 courses).

Durham Indoor Market.

This is your chance ladies--to go on a shopping spree --
Dare U ???.

In the Swan and three Cygnets

Pretty good stuff,
Cheers to you all.

Roads in Durham

Behind me is the main road, and to my left, across that road is our hotel - The Three Tuns. Just in front is the pub we called at for a pint after visiting Crook-Hall.
Just up this road to the top, turn right for the main shops, to the left is to the Castle and Cathedral.(all up-hill)-Phew.

Sleeping Boats of Durham

One of my fav pics is this - slight adjustment to the levels to create the reflections a little more and taken on the slant - enhances and makes it more eye catching. Taken early morning before the students come out to play.

Durham 2

River Wear runs through Durham.The bridge is called Framwellgate Bridge.

Welcome to Durham

Durham, Castle and Cathedral.
3 days stay at the Three Tuns Hotel, where we had a wonderful time and booked for Bed/Breakfast/Ev Meal, 16th century building where they had tried to keep it as near as it was with a lot of genuine articles from that time, old beams and the like.
I'll take you around Durham and a day at Crook Hall and Gardens through the next few posts.
Just click on the links and see.
