Skeleton vault, Bristol Cathedral

Not entirely unique in medieval architecture, but a bold and exciting architectural invention; the skeleton vault. This is a vault where the ribs are present but the cells are removed.

I liked the composition of this image as if it were springing from the image frame, and it is a difficult subject to photograph as it is a dark room in the Cathedral.
