Cathedral structures

Interesting structures, painting, and ornaments in a cathedral in Portugal. This is a HDR assembled with Photoshop.

 

Golden glow

A blue-tiled church in the town of Évora. The whole alter area was made of guilded carvings and ornaments, illuminating it in a yellow glow.

Cathedral Dome

Looking straight up into the dome of a cathedral in Portugal.

Dom st. Petri

an HDR from the Dom st. Petri in Bautzen. Although it may seem like it's due to the wide angle lens, this church actually does curve to the right along its length. I've never seen a church that was not built with a straight design. Definitely strange and unusual.

Hallgrímskirkja

This church stands on top of the hill in Reykjavik, and the architecture seems to reflect the attitude of the Iclandic people. On my 3rd trip to Iceland, this was the first time I'd been in Reykjavik while the curch was not covered in scaffolding. It was a good oppotunity to finally take some pictures of this impressive and unusual structure.

Cathedral Ceiling

An unusual perspective on this ornate manueline ceiling in the church of Jeronimos Monastery. The intricacy used in the manueline style can be quite overwhelming, but the longer one stares at the architecture, the more small details emerge.
