Liverpools Anglican Cathedral seen over the roof tops
It could be a a tad sharper but it was taken through the glass window of my 7th floor hotel room in Liverpool . It does however give an impression of the size of this extraordinary building . In fact the only way you can get a good shot of Liverpool Cathedral is from some distance away . If you are close it defeats even a super wide lens .
Liverpools Anglican cathedral is the largest cathedral in England and the fifth largest in the world . It is also the most recently built. The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott, and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel, is 207 yards (189 m) making it the longest cathedral in the world. I will post a shot or two of its interior at a later date.
One thing that is remarkable is that there are many photographs of the construction of the building in a museum. Unlike the medieval cathedrals in Europe you can actually see the faces of the builders of this church. It will have kept many Liverpool workers employed during the 74 years of its construction
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
