The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Amiens (French: Basilique Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens), or simply Amiens Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Amiens (currently Jean-Luc Bouilleret). It is situated on a slight ridge overlooking the River Somme in Amiens, the administrative capital of the Picardy region of France, some 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Paris. It is the 19th largest church in the world.[citation needed]
Medieval cathedral builders were trying to maximize the internal dimensions in order to reach for the heavens and bring in more light. In that regard, the Amiens cathedral is the tallest complete cathedral in France, its stone-vaulted nave reaching an internal height of 42.30 metres (138.8 ft) (surpassed only by the incomplete Beauvais Cathedral). It also has the greatest interior volume of any French cathedral, estimated at 200,000 cubic metres (260,000 cu yd). The cathedral was built between 1220 and c.1270 and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.[5] Although it has lost most of its original stained glass, Amiens Cathedral is renowned for the quality and quantity of early 13th-century Gothic sculpture in the main west façade and the south transept portal, and a large quantity of polychrome sculpture from later periods inside the building.
La cathédrale Pierre-et-Paul (en russe : Петропавловский собор) est une cathédrale orthodoxe située dans la forteresse Pierre-et-Paul à Saint-Pétersbourg en Russie. Elle fut construite pour devenir la nécropole de la famille impériale russe des Romanov.
La cathédrale fut construite de 1712 à 1733 sous le tsar puis l'empereur Pierre Ier de Russie en suivant les plans de l'architecte Domenico Trezzini en remplacement d'une église en bois. Elle est donc l'un des monuments les plus anciens de Saint-Pétersbourg. Elle fut la première collégiale construite en pierre à Saint-Pétersbourg.

Bazylika katedralna Wniebowzięcia NMP we Włocławku jest budowlą gotycką.
Pierwsza murowana katedra włocławska znajdowała się w innym miejscu, została spalona przez Krzyżaków w 1329 roku.
Obecna katedra była budowana od 1340 i kontynuowana jeszcze w ciągu XV wieku, do 1526, kiedy ukończono wieżę północną. Jest to świątynia trzynawowa z węższym i znacznie niższym prezbiterium. Na szczególną uwagę zasługują: witraże z 1360 roku, drewniana figura Matki Bożej z początku XV wieku oraz obraz Wniebowzięcia NMP.
Wnętrze ozdobione jest polichromią, wykonaną w latach 1900–1901.
Visiting the magnificent Norwich Cathedral earlier this month I just had to take a photograph of the fantastic ceiling, however in very low light and without a tripod my options were limited but then I came across a mirrored viewing table which allows you to see the splendor of what is above your head by looking down - a lot easier thing to photograph.
On Saturday I took a drive up to Winchester in Hampshire to visit the Cathedral as part of my on going Cathedrals project.
This gorgeous building has been on my list for a while now and I was glad to finally get a visit arranged.

Lichfield Cathedral is the last 3 remain in England and the Queen of England had visited this beautiful Cathedral several times
The Cathedral Spires perch above Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. To get here for sunrise in winter is a bit of an endeavor, as the trailhead is some 4+ miles distant, there is significant unconsolidated snow to navigate, and the wind can be a bit stiff at times. Here, I am gazing to the east, with the wind at my back, standing on the frozen surface of the lake.
I'll be leaving the country for awhile (backpacking in Chile), so won't be able to appreciate any of your work for some time. I look forward to checking in when I get back!
Like a cathedral the trees form pillars for the canopy of leaves (well, needles in this case...) up to the altar of light.
Wie in einer natürlichen Kathedrale stehen die Bäume als Säulen, überspannt vom Nadeldach und der Blick wandert zum Altar aus Licht.
