I received a reply from PentaxDan today. The residue of my unclaimed Magazine subscription is being converted into membership of the new PU for an appropriately extended period.
Thanks Dan

200 already. It just seems like yesterday since we were celebrating Weekly Competition #100.

Geordie: Newcastle has TWO cathedrals. This is the Anglican church, St Nicholas which has the distinctive lantern tower and stands between the Bigg Market and the High Level Bridge. The other is the RC Church, St Mary's which has a very tall spire. It's opposite the Central Station.
Alan: No, I didn't do any interior shots of the Cathedral, I was just concentrating on the windows.

Great action photography set against wonderful backdrops. I love the colour of the Far East.
David.

This is a fine piece of observation with some clever added bits such as the starburst and colour pop.
David

The set as a whole has some great colour well photogrpahed.

#1 with the stretched sides is the one for me. Superb.

Newcastle Cathedral must be England's most welcoming to photographers. They don't ban you from taking pictures (Durham do) and no one extracts a fiver from you for the priviledge of a photo permit or entrance fee.
Today I went back to photograph more stained glass. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Most of the glass looks as if its from the Middle Ages but much of it is Victorian. The only pre-Reformation glass is the final picture in my set, a tiny roundel.
