In Scotland again...
Today we head up into Scotland, but first we make a stop at Durham to visit the town and cathedral. Unfortunately they don't allow photos inside the actual cathedral, so I don't have any there, although I did buy a few postcards that show the insides and I'll scan those at a later date. It really annoys me when they don't allow photography inside this historical buildings—I can understand that they don't want people using flash and disturbing the people who are actually worshipping in these churches, but I also believe they have an obligation to share the history that's there. Part of the reason they don't allow photography is that they want to sell their own guidebooks and postcards, etc, and I can't really fault that either as it costs a lot of money too keep these buildings up. Most of the cathedrals do not receive any money from the government, so they rely on donations and the monies from whatever sales they make in their gift shops. I was allowed to photograph outside and in the cloister though, so I have a few shots there. Read more >>
