Snow Globe Durham Cathedral and Castle at Night

Description

Snow Globe Durham Cathedral and Castle at Night. Free UK Shipping. This Durham Riverbanks snow globe has two different photographs inside. One one side is a twilight photograph of Durham Castle and Cathedral, taken from Wharton Park. The sky is a cool blue colour which contrasts very well against the warm yellow colour of Durham Castle and the Cathedral from the artificial lights illuminating both buildings. This is contrasted against the dark greens and magentas of the trees that provide the base to this photograph. This my favourite viewpoint to photograph the Cathedral and Castle. There is a wide array of views from this location, which has undergone a major renovation of it’s facilities. Different times of the year provide different colours from spring, when the cherry trees are in bloom, to autumn, when the leaves are turning and have fantastic colours. Late afternoons and evenings are the best times of day, to catch the sunlight at Wharton Park. To photograph the Cathedral and Castle, as the sun is at the perfect angle to illuminate this side of the buildings and the trees surrounding them.

The photograph on the reverse side, is a nighttime photograph of the entrance way to Durham Castle. Durham Castle is jointly designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Durham Cathedral. The Castle is now part of Durham University, although you can visit the Castle and its museum. This photograph was taken after some rain, the artificial lights are reflected in the cobbles of the entrance way to the Castle.
