I remember trying to take a good photo of the Minster, but it's so embedded in the city, with the city walls right there, I couldn't get a good angle. I think your approach of showing that embedding, how much it is part of that tight little city, is a great one.

It is a pretty imposing structure. And there aren't any open spaces around it where you can capture its immensity!

That's one of the joys of traveling. You collect all sorts of images to paint!

A favorite class in college was art history. I took five semesters, I loved it so much. The Professor was a world traveler, and his photos and stories were treasured by many of us.

Thank you for sharing!
