The unique picture of Lichfield Cathedral by Phil Drury which won him a photographic competition for its originality

The unique take on the historic venue at The Close, taken by Phil Drury, was selected as the winner of a photograph competition encouraging budding snappers to take an original picture of the cathedral.

As a result he has scooped a family ticket to see two Disney films screened there.

It is part of the cathedral's 'Great Exhibition' titled 'Earth: What a Wonderful World?' which takes place between Saturday, August 19 to Monday, August 28, featuring a range of artistic visual elements to examine how the natural world has influence architecture throughout history, including the cathedral itself.
