Durham Weather

For some time now i've been obsessed by the weather. It started round about the time when the uk was having one of it's hottest summers on record. I was still at school then, but I was a bit of a geek and geeks have to know about science. I was also mad keen on astronomy and can remember sitting up watching our little black and white tv at 3am when Armstrong made his historic steps for all mankind.

I'm fortunate enough to live in the historic city of Durham, in North East England. The Norman Cathedral has been here since just after William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066. It's a World Heritage site and is visited by millions of people per year.

I'd taken a lot of photos around Durham since I moved here, and also have some very old photos showing floods and snowstorms and other such things, all with the iconic background of an old, old city that has many a story to tell. Who knew that Mustard was invented in Durham, for example?

I decided to combine the two passions into my website - Durham + Weather = Durham Weather!

This one is a labour of love, I don't know whether i'll be able to monetize it, but I don't know whether I care, because the photos, scenery and subject matter are so beautiful. It seems wrong to try to make money from such a thing.

Anyhow, please check it out. The website link is on my profile
