Canterbury Cathedral

I used to live in Canterbury & Herne Bay when I went to University there, graduated in 1974. My wife had not been to Canterbury although she had holidays in Deal & Margate when younger. We had a few days in East Kent and I took her into Canterbury. Attached a few images of the magnificent Cathedral.

Hi Paul. I was born in Kent and I love Canterbury. So much history. Thanks for the great pictures of the magnificent cathedral. Those long ago craftsmen sure knew a thing or two about building.

These are nice Architecturals, but were they mine I would correct the perspective.

Cracking shots Paul of a Beautiful building, you were fortunate to get to take interior shots. I was pounced upon after taking one (no flash)in Durham Cathedral earlier this year.. then I was followed until I decided enough was enough.

Why do they do that?! I hate that! What in the world do they think we are going to do? If they forbid flash photography, that's understandable since millions of cumulative flashes will fade a 15th century tapestry, but flash is generally unusable in these vast spaces anyway! Available light hurts nothing. I suspect they have professionally made slides in the gift shop that they want to sell, and if you make your own they lose money. Grrrr! :evil:
(Indeed, cracking shots, Paul. Sorry for the rant. Pet peeve.)

I am glad most of you enjoyed the images. Canterbury Cathedral is a Wolrld Heritage Site and they charge an admission fee, your fee gives access to the Cathedral for a 12-month period. Apparently it costs £18,000 per day to keep the place open & running! On their website they do state photography for personal use is OK but they will charge a fee for stock and commercial photos. The only area you can't photograph is the Crypt - there is a display in the Crypt of some of the artifacts they hold, wonderful gold & silverware going back to the 12th Century. Many visitors were using flash, point & shoots where they probably didn't know how to suppress the flash - all my interior shots were without flash on a Sony SLT-A65 using the multi frame noise reduction option.
