 "Saint Paul's" |
St. Paul's is one of Europe's largest Cathedrals.
Built by the Christopher Wren (Virtuoso of the English Baroque style)
, this cathedral was to rival the cathedrals of Europe in terms of grandeur. Outdoor, natural light/over cast photo.

 "Paul's Dome" |
One of Saint Paul's main features is a huge dome on over the center of it.
The outside is worn by the industrial revolution (well, the pollution
caused by it.) However, the inside still boasts beautiful murals.
As you can see the dome is huge. This may be in part that bigger was better when it came
to cathedrals.
Outdoor, natural light/overcast photo.

 "Entrance Way" |
This is the front door to Saint Paul's, or the one that everyone uses. On the
sides there are huge doors, the size of giants, that people do not use. Outdoor,
natural light/overcast photo

 "Angles" |
This is the last exterior photo that I am including though I have many more.
I like how this photo is composed so I decided to include it. You can not really
tell, but there is a window on the bottom. It is a plain glass window because
most of the windows of St. Paul's were bombed out during World War II. Outdoor,
Natural Light photo.

 "High Altar" |
This is looking up at the High Altar of St. Paul's. It is in a smaller dome
towards the back that was not pictured earlier. As you can see some of the
Stain glass windows were saved. But as you can see the one on the left,
it was not left undamaged. Indoor photo, no flash.
|
 "Ceiling" |
This is looking up at the ceiling in one of the wings of St. Paul's. The
walkway is the whispering gallery and it goes around the entire Cathedral. I
missed my chance to go up there but if I ever go back, I am going to be sure
to walk around the whispering gallery. Indoor photo, no flash.
