Durham in the Drizzle – A Return to the City With a Fresh Perspective
With a few hours spare this afternoon, I took the chance to head back into Durham City - somewhere I haven’t explored for a little while. The weather started off grey but dry, which was just fine for a walk and a few photos. I had hoped to get the drone up, but as luck would have it, the rain rolled in, grounding the flying plans. Still, it was great to explore the city from ground level and revisit some favourite spots from new angles.
