  • During a recent visit to the United Kingdom, I became fascinated by the detailed ceilings in some of the cathedrals which I visited. While in Edinburgh, I visited Saint Giles Cathedral and after first looking around at what was at eye level started looking at the ceiling in the building. Finding the lines and patterns interesting in this cathedral I took photographs from various angles of the ceiling. When you zoom into the detail it starts to tell a different story then just part of the building which is protecting the interior.

  • One of the first things I do when I walk into a cathedral or abbey is to look up at the ceiling. There is so much you can find in these ceilings which were built hundreds of years ago. During a trip to England the Bath Abbey ceiling caught my attention upon walking into the building. At first I will walk around the building to take time to look at the details and also start to think how I should best photograph the details, if it is allowed. With the detailed patterns in this building I went with the repeating lines and patterns in this image.

  • The detail you find in a church is quite remarkable. In telling the story of historic architecture is it the greater scene you should capture or the specific detail you find in the building itself. In visiting the Abbey in Bath, UK it was the detail which drew my eye as it was so detailed and telling of the story. Using a longer lens you can get that fine detail in the ceiling or other parts of the building as you walk around looking at this detail and wonder how this was constructed so many years ago.

  • Walking through the central business district of Sitka, Alaska you will find St. Michael's Cathedral. The cathedral itself has been in existence since prior to the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. However the present day cathedral was rebuilt due to a fire in 1966 in the structure which was over 100 years old. On this day it was overcast in Sitka which helped create this image. The soft light from the clouds allows for the cathedral to be evenly lit and the sky provides a nice background which helps the stand out on its own.

  • In the spring of 2014, Doors Open Denver took place once again took place. This annual event gives you access to locations you would not normal be able to view throughout Denver. One of the last locations I visited during this event was Saint John's Cathedral just outside of downtown Denver. The access to the location where this image was taken was through a small stairwell which was pretty much one way traffic, but worth the climb for the different perspective. The current cathedral was built from 1909-1911.
