River Wear, Durham Cathedral, the Old Cornmill

I recently took some photographs with my drone of Durham Cathedral and the River Wear. I really wanted to fly a little higher but due to the winds this wasn't possible, but today the weather was much calmer.

The internet is full of noise. Social media rewards the loudest voices, news cycles move at breakneck speed, and thoughtful reflection can often get lost in the rush. That's one of the reasons iChaplain.uk is worth exploring, even if you do not have any faith. At its heart, iChaplain is a blog that explores life through the lens of Christian faith.
