I have recently was bought a wide angle lens and wanted to practice using it. I used it to explore the architecture, textures and shapes within the city of Durham, North East England.
I like the results, it makes certain buildings more imposing, especially those along alleyways. To learn more about Durham City, follow this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham,_England

The Count's House is named after 'Count' Joseph Boruwlaski, who lived from 1739 to 1837. Originally from Poland, he lived and died in Durham. His house was Bank's Cottage - formerly known as Callamanco Hall, which was next door to what is now the Durham Little Count's House. Durham Count's House is actually a folly - a building erected for the sole purpose of looking nice in a rural setting and usually made to look like a forgotten piece of history.
Looking up the walls of Durham Cathedral. There are many textures, shapes and patterns.
