I am always interested in anything architectural and Ely Cathedral is a magnificent building. Did you know that Ely used to be an island until the marshland was drained? Caused it be like a scene out of Monty Python's 'Holy Grail' as first one of the cathedral towers collapsed and then another tower kept sinking due to the weight after they expanded it!!

I am deeply versed on the subject, find it very interesting indeed, but that has very little to do with my picture, I was trying to capture a mood.

Is that a painting? It looks like a photo with some filter applied.

it is a scan of a painting in watercolour with a filter applied, it is a rough draft for an oil actually.
