Snow Globe Durham Cathedral in Snow

Snow Globe Durham Cathedral in Snow. Free UK Shipping. This Durham Cathedral snow globe has two different photographs inside. One one side is a snow photograph of Durham Cathedral, taken from University Hill. Looking across the snow topped rooftops of Durham City to Durham Cathedral and Castle sitting above the city. This is a stunning and beautiful photograph of the Cathedral, with snow on the trees and rooftops of the buildings in the city. The view from this angle of Durham Cathedral is one of the few views that shows the outside location of the Rose Window. This viewpoint also shows off Durham Castle, located to the right hand side of the Cathedral. On this day the snow was very thick and it has very hard work getting to top of University Hall for this photograph. I think from the resulting picture, the effort was well worth it. A standard lens was used to take this photograph. It was important to include not only Durham castle but the snow covered rooftops of the buildings around the city. This was one of the best days for snow photography in Durham City for many years.

The photograph on the reverse side, is a snow photograph of Prebends Bridge and the Durham Riverbanks, with snow and frost covered trees. Warm, winter afternoon sunlight is lighting up the snow on the tops of the trees behind the bridge. This warm light is also reflected in the water of the River Wear below the bridge, this reflection gives brightness and colour to the centre of this photograph. The cool blue colour of the trees on both sides of the River Wear take the eye through this photograph, straight to Prebends Bridge and the warm colours behind the bridge. A couple are walking along the snow covered footpath towards the ‘Pink House’ located before the wear. This a beautiful and peaceful photograph, taken on one of those special days when the snow and frost remain on the trees all day and you are lucky to get some warm afternoon sunlight to work its magic. This photograph was taken, standing on Framwellgate Bridge looking straight along the river. Most people would have included the Cathedral in the photograph, but that would have spoilt this photograph as the Cathedral would have taken the focus away from Prebends Bridge.
