I have exterior images of a river side walk in the snow & summer pictures of the cloisters. I'll have to split it into two posts. What's interesting is that the people reading the post won't have even heard of Durham before. I'm sure the Cathedral was accessible for photographs many years ago with the use of permits. So many organisations are concerned about the ease they think people can make money from their properties. I experienced a voluntary arrest from a Gardener in July whilst on a visit to Hutton in the Forest near Penrith. They all got very touchy about their copyright policy when I told them that the images, even though for just a hobby, might not be just for personal use & I had to explain & insist to the administrator in her office that I wasn't in it for making money. I used the experience to take the bull by the horns and gave her a photography lesson in RAW / jpeg & why I would need to return if I was going to sell them. She also didn't understand that someone like myself who travels the country couldn't really find the situation for profiting from from such an obscure location. Lastly there were concerns as my pictures would possibly shown on google images if there were sufficient hits which worried her even more as they could be stolen & sold. I settled her mind a little when I said that I watermark all the images now ! The guest post material is a bit odd as it doesn’t sit well in my mind.

I was disappointed that I couldn't take photos inside the Cathedral. I would have been happy to pay a fee for the privilege. Your guest post sounds interesting.

I love the dining room, the corridor to the chapel & the staircase. I was in there this year for only my second time as an afterthought due to being rejected by the Cathedral for internal photographs. I'm supposed to be writing a guest post on Durham Cathedral using some external winter shots that I've already published. I had thought to give her some extra material for the Castle which will obviously incorporate similar views to the ones you have here.

The daughter of one of my friends is studying there and he got to stay in the keep when the students weren't in residence. Yes it would be a wonderful place to study I can just imagine myself there.
