Photographer’s Note
Norwich Cathedral.
The structure of the cathedral is primarily in the Norman style, having been constructed in the late 11th century and about 1145. The total length of the building is 461 feet (140 m). Significant alterations from later periods include a 315 foot (96 m) spire completed in 1465, and a two-storey cloister, the only such in England, which was built between 1300 and 1430.
The cathedral is built of flint and mortar faced with limestone brought in from Caen. Standing at 315 feet, the cathedral's spire is the second tallest in England, and dominates the city skyline; only the spire of Salisbury Cathedral is higher at 404 feet.
What is also quite pleasant is you can walk around revierside and keep it in the centre of your view giving a variation of good angles I felt this was quite pleasant on the eyes.

Hello William,
I'm also passionate about English heritage and I like this view of the cathedral very much -- nicely framed by the branch,lovely sky and good details. Unfortunately, the dark foreground and the distracting white tent(?) detract from your aim of illustrating the expansive views from the riverside. I would also want to see the cathedral slightly off-center. I hope you will find my workshops helpful.
Best regards,
Mary
