I took this late afternoon shot looking along a valley towards Cathedral Peak, which is the distant peak on the right side of this panoramic landscape. Cathedral Peak is the main point of access to some of the wildest areas of the central Drakensberg, and provides some most spectacular scenery.

This is a perfect example of how medieval cathedral builders totally ignored how hard their building would be to photograph 900 years later! Joking aside, it IS quite hard to photograph the front of this cathedral and get it all because of the buildings surrounding it. This is the best I could do - but at least I could capture how intimidating and high the towers are...
Outside the cathedral Notre Dame in Bayeux. It was originally in Romanesque style but later rebuilt in Gothic style. The cathedral was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror (who was also the Duke of Normandy) - but the build had started already around 1040 and mostly finished in the 15th century.
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona.

Such magnificent beauty! “Saint Gatien's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in Indre-et-Loire, France. It is part of the Archdiocese of Tours and is the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastical province. The edifice was built between 1170 and 1547.”
Murcia Cathedral has many Renaissance and Baroque elements, although its interior is fundamentally Gothic.
Created in 1394 on the site of a former mosque. It was bishop Fernando de Pedrosa who placed the cornerstone. The interior is Gothic. The façade is Baroque and was built according to design by Jaime Bort. It has a 95-metre tower that took more than two hundred years to build with the involvement of many different architects, of whom Ventura Rodríguez stands out especially. Los Vélez Chapel is Flamboyant Gothic and has a vaulted ceiling with star-shaped skylights, while Los Junterones Chapel is in Renaissance style.
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Catalan: Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia), also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, with the principal work done in the fourteenth century.
The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (Font de les Oques) was completed in 1448.
In the late nineteenth century, the neo-Gothic façade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that was common to Catalan churches.
The roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical.
Dormition Cathedral in Kolomna. Three-domed Assumption Cathedral was founded in 1379 by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy after the first victory of Russian troops over the Golden Horde in the Battle of the River Vozha. Construction of the cathedral lasted one year, presumably in his paintings participated Pheophan Grek. Cathedral stood until 1672, when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On the place of the demolished church for 10 years was built new, preserved to this day (architect Meletios Alekseev).
A part of the front of Reims Cathedral - it's so big that photographing the complete front poses problems.

In inside of this awe inspiring Cathedral in the heart of Ottawa, gives rise to respect and reverence. Quiet and colorful, the architecture is amazing.
This is Ottawa's largest and oldest, still standing Catholic Church and it is also the seat of the Archbishop
Five blocks from our house, this Cathedral is the oldest and largest church in our city. It always offers so many photographic possibilities.
From deep in my archives and re-edited, this is from 2012, just one year after I took up this fulfilling hobby :)
As you liked yesterday's church, lets stick with the theme, shall we? But yesterday, we had an old and catholic one, today it's time for new and orthodox. The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica has only been finished in 2013.
It's even more impressive from the inside, but I'll show that to you tomorrow.

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.
