It's easy for visitors to forget that the fine old town of Shrewsbury has a cathedral, it has large and impressive medieval churches that are a prominent feature of the townscape, but the cathedral fits none of these criteria, it is tucked away in a quiet side street, has no lofty spire or even tower and appears to be no larger than an ordinary church. Dating back only to the 1850s, it is small wonder that this apparently low-budget cathedral gets overlooked, but this is nevertheless undeserved, for it is a little known gem.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury was founded in 1851 and with the generosity ofJohn Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, plans for a new cathedral were made. The great A.W.N.Pugin himself was initially commissioned, but he died in 1852 having made only a few preliminary drawings, so his son Edward Pugin took over the project, and the church we see today is mostly his vision. The site was a challenging one, there was never room to be too ambitious, and to make matters worse the ground on this cramped hillside site was found to be too insecure to allow the building of the lofty steeple that was originally planned at the south west corner, thus the building fails to register it's presence on the skyline.
The church consists of a five-bay aisled nave culminating in a lofty chancel flanked by chapels, largely unaltered since it opened in 1856, except the chapel on the south side with it's vaulted apse being an exuberant creation of a later architect, Edmund Kirby, in 1901. The original decoration has been reduced over the years but many of Pugin's furnishings remain, along with the inevitable sequence of Hardman windows in the aisles.
However the most notable artworks here are of a later period, being the superb collection of Arts & Crafts stained glass windows by Margaret Rope (1882-1953), amongst her first commissions and of superb quality, filled with wonderful detail and richly rewarding of study. There are seven in the cathedral altogether (one is hidden away in a sacristy), the largest being the six light west window portraying the English Martyrs.
The cathedral isn't open as regularly as some, but is normally accessible and visitors are warmly welcomed.
We were not allowed inside and were only allowed to get a peek from one of the small viewing rooms. This is the best composition I could get with my wide-angle lens.

Nous sommes arrivés en France! We are staying in this lovely country for two months this spring. Our primary residence is Lyon, the third largest city in France, located to the southwest. It is a historical, cultural, and very picturesque city founded as the Roman city of Lugdunum, spread out over two hills and two rivers -- the Saône and Rhône.
With side trips to locations as diverse as Paris, Perpignan, Aix-en-Provence, and more, Steve and I aim to get our fill of a country neither of us has seen in a decade, and enjoy the cuisine, culture, language practice, scenery, and generally, la vie quotidienne.

This may have been done in the art nouveau style. I saw this ceiling in Paris, Las Vegas and thought it was very beautiful.
I think I found the best spot for capturing the roof and floor. I've seen other shots taken from this viewing platform, so I won't pretend I'm the first to have this idea. I only arrived at the museum 10 minutes before closing, so ran up the steps to get to this platform. That's quite obsessive really. Couldn't have captured this without my new wideangle lens - a Tokina 12-24mm.
Chini ka Rauza is a funerary monument, rauza in Agra, India, containing the tomb of Allama Afzal Khan Mullah, a scholar and poet who was the Prime Minister of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The tomb was built in 1635..
.
Chini Ka Rauza is so named because of its glazed tile ornamentation believed to be imported from China. The unique architectural artwork that graces the exterior and interior of the building uses the spaces such as chajja, brackets and balconies creatively with color embellishments. The inscription in blue-colored tiles on each side of the central arch of the building is bordered by blue, yellow and green tiles set in beautiful patterns while the spandrels of the arches are decorated with blue and orange tiles set in arabesque and floresque patterns. The zigzag pattern in the shafts on sides of the arches set off crimson, orange and white tile combinations while bands of blue tiles adorn the chevrons of the pinnacles. Panels with vermilion, orange, blue and green floral designs fill the remaining spaces on each facade. The dome is covered with blue and yellow square tiles in diagonal bands. Glazed tiles of all the shades and hues cover almost every inch of the building, which is now partially damaged and yet has retained a part of the glory of its past.
