Wells Cathedral

I was going through old sets looking for stuff to print, and noticed that the ones of Wells Cathedral were very red, so I decided to see how it would turn out with cooler white ballance. I also cropped this to 10x8, and made sure the building was centred.

Excluding the square mile, Wells is England's smallest city, being the size of an average market town. Indeed, the scene may be vaguely familiar to those who have seen the Simon Pegg film "Hot Fuzz", which was filmed in the city. The diocese of Bath and Wells was created in the 10th century, when a large diocese based in Sherborne, Dorset, was divided between Bath and Wells, Sarum (Salisbury) and Winchester. The building has been evolving for over a millennium (the oldest surviving part dating to 705 CE) , and following years of neglect and abuse was renovated in the Victorian era.
