Nazi photo of Salisbury Cathedral

I found this on archive.org.

It gives me the chills. It’s an unusual view of the Cathedral, which sets up a certain dissonance, but more significantly it was part of a pack created for the Nazi invasion of the UK.

I wonder who took it, and when.

I think the house in the foreground is Rangers House. It’s on one of my running routes
