Excellent in so many ways! Contrasts of architecture, time periods, light, shadows, old and new, crooked and straight. Curved and straight. I love it. Oh...did I tell you I'm teaching photography again? May I use some of your photos as references?
You Brits have so many crooked-defying gravity-looking lovely old buildings. I love them.
Ms.M, the buildings across the street have gradually settled over around 700 years. The fact that they lean uphill is peculiar and one reason why I love them.
Neetzy, you can use anything of mine however you please. As for time periods: this is the Erpingham Gate at the west end of Norwich Cathedral Close. It is by far the latest gate in the walls (built in 1420) and so is actually a teensy bit more modern than the building across the street (1380s).
That's very interesting about the buildings leaning uphill. Maybe sometime you could do a book about Norwich with your photos, some history, and fascinating facts. You have some great material.
Ms.M, there are countless books of Norwich (and Norfolk) photos on sale around here. It's a bit of a saturated market as you might imagine. I just enjoy living in the place.

Is the building seen through the archway slanting? Or being str-e-t-c-h-e-d ? Or am I just feeling the wine I had at dinner?

Oops, I mean Norfolk!
