Wells

by pauljay

Wells, Somerset, the UK's fourth smallest city with a population of just over 10,000. I was there last week to seek out the three residences in which one of my ancestors, the black sheep of the family, lived during the 19th century, all of which were somewhat austere compared to other members of the family during that era. For such a small community the cathedral which gave Wells its city status is most impressive and can be seen in the background of this shot.

My favourite city (of course!) I love the glimpses you get of the cathedral as you wander around. As you say, quite out of scale with the size of the town.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Used to go there many moons ago, before the camera got me unfortunately, so no pictorial memories, just remember how overpowering impressive the front of the Cathedral is. Thanks for the memories

Thank you Andrew, Malc and Giulio! Whichever way I turn this shot I have the impression the horizon is not level!

Thought I recognised it! Nice one Paul. re the horizon, does your 'horizon' tool allow you to get the Cathedral tower vertically aligned? That might do the trick!

I normally use the camera's own leveller but on this occasion perhaps I should have taken my sunglasses off!
