I live a few miles from Doncaster, a large town in South Yorkshire dating back to Roman times. A prominent feature throughout the town is its main church, correctly known as 'The Minster Church of Saint George'. It stands at the heart of the town, where a church has stood for over 8 centuries. The present church was built to the designs of George Gilbert Scott between 1854and 1858, after the medieval church was destroyed by fire in 1853. I captured this scene in a number of photographs taken on a beautiful day in late summer. It is taken from beneath a large bridge over the River Don, a place not commonly visited by most citizens, except fishermen, who find it an ideal spot. My favourite dog, Oscar, makes another appearance, intently watching his master's casting skills. ORIGINAL SOLD. AVAILABLE AS A GICLÉE PRINT ON CANVAS OR PAPER.
