A calendar depicting Lincoln's beauty as seen through a lens will go on sale to raise money for the city's homeless population.

Lincoln 2010, Unusual Views of a Cathedral City, is a collection of portraits of the city's landscape.

Images of some of Lincoln's most familiar and well loved sites were captured by students from Branston Community College.

Made into a calendar, its sale will raise money for the Nomad Trust homeless charity in Monks Road, Lincoln.

Deputy manager at the charity Brenda Shiels said: "The calendar is lovely. I'm not a Lincoln person but I think for people who are and have moved away, it is instantly recognisable.

The project came about through a chance meeting between Lincoln fundraiser Joe Cooke and lecturer at the college David Macaleavey.

He urged his students to get involved and use the skills they were learning.

Mr Cooke, is also the vice chairman of the Nomad Trust and holds the position of mayor's officer.
