Texture#4 Cathederal

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bristol City Cathedral while in its proper use - I was not allowed to take photos during the service so I had to reserve myself until afterwards meaning I was not taking pictures of the main hall though the architecture of the building is phenomenal throughout.









































Cathedrals are amazing buildings. The materials and techniques used to build them equate to nothing built by today's standards. The intricacy of the carvings, the attention to detail is outlandish in a construction so large and so numerous. This is another way in which age and texture correlate; things are not built like they used to be. It's all pre-fab and cost effective. Take a picture of any interior built within the last 50 years - bland by comparison to the way things used to be done with such care and dedication to each and every detail.
