Photographed from the bottom of St James Cemetry which is an area where few tourists venture but which provides the most dramatic views of this amazing modern cathedral.
It was started in 1904 and finished in 1978 and was the life's work of architect Giles Gilbert Scott who won the competition to design the cathedral when he was only 22 years old.

@Japanalia: Thanks Gabriela....although it's a modern cathedral it was designed in a gothic style and built using traditional materials like stone rather than concrete.

@Wysterior: Thanks Wys......this shot was right on the limit for the wide angle lens that I was using as my back was pressed up against the cemetry wall to get all the cathedral in frame and not too distorted.
@Disoriented: Thanks very much.....I think your blog is wonderful and was amazed when I saw that you had an AM3 address like me. What a coincidence :-)
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks very much Alfredo....colours on night shots always seem to turn out interesting!
