Geometric traces mark the vaulting ribs in the crossing at lincoln Cathedral. The circular hole in the bottom right is the access point through which the bell Great Tom was raised in the 19th century.

Lincoln Cathedral was home to me for a few hours last month while I spent time happy snapping with the Fuji Finepix I have. Finally, I got around editing the photos.

I particularly like this one of the arches and vaulting at the end of the south aisle.
