Snow Globe Durham Cathedral Snow Riverbanks and Elvet Bridge

Description

Snow Globe Durham Cathedral Snow Riverbanks and Elvet Bridge. Free UK Shipping. This Durham Cathedral snow globe has two different photographs inside. On one side is a winter photograph of Durham Cathedral, the Fulling Mill and the Riverbanks, with ice and snow frozen on the River Wear and on the rooftop of the Fulling Mill Museum. A bright winters sky, lets the morning sunlight strike the sides of the towers of Durham Cathedral providing a bright contrast to the Fulling Mill and River below. The warm morning sunlight is also lighting up the tops of the tree branches beside the Cathedral. Although there is ice and snow on the top of the river, there is still a good flow of water over the wear running to the Fulling Mill, with a clear patch of water infant of the Fulling Mill. This was the first time I had seen the River Wear frozen over, snow had fallen and laid on top of the ice. The previous day had been dull and overcast, while this morning had a bright blue sky, just perfect for photography.

The photograph on the reverse side, is a winter photograph of Durham City, looking up the River Wear to Elvet Bridge and Durham Cathedral and Castle keeping watch over the city below. This photograph was taken on a real winters day, it was cold and the snow is falling and there is a pale grey sky. The footpath along the River Wear beside Browns Boats is covered in snow, as are the rooftops and the top of Elvet Bridge. This photograph is one of quite a few winter photographs taken that day. Although the others, taken around Prebends Bridge and the Pink House and including the Fulling Mill Museum and the Cathedral, with frozen ice and snow on the river. This is the photograph I always come back too, thinking this picture sums up Durham City on a snowy, winters day.
