The angel at the Fosse Park shopping centre which is made out of fairy lights.

It was quite difficult to get this shot on a long exposure like this due to it being on a busy roundabout with very few gaps in the traffic long enough for taking photos.

A statue inside Lincoln Cathedral of Edward King, the Bishop of Lincoln from 1885 to 1910. If you want to see the statue for yourself it is located in the south side of the Great Transept.

Lincoln Cathedral - Crossing ceiling

Lincoln Cathedral - Crossing ceiling, originally uploaded by JeDi58.

An interior shot of the Lincoln cathedral ceiling at the crossing with some of the lighting effects caused by a concert that was being rehearsed.

Some of the interior of Lincoln Cathedral was used in the movie "The Da Vinici Code" which was based on the novel by Dan Brown.

The cathedral itself was first built in 1072, though most of the current one dates from the 13th Century. It houses one of the original copies of the Magna Carta, the Lincoln Chapter Bible (c1100), and also a school book from 1410 with the first ever recorded rhyme about Robin Hood.
