Back to Europe for a while..
These are some more shots of my Tour to Europe in Sept - Nov 2012. I has been a while since I last saw them.. great to be able to catch up on them at last!
This was my last day of the Cosmos Tour Oct 17, 2012 Spain. I took a morning trip to Toledo from Madrid.
The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo (Spanish: Catedral Primada Santa MarÃa de Toledo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Toledo, Spain, see of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain. It was begun in 1226 under the rule of Ferdinand III and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when, in 1493, the vaults of the central nave were finished during the time of the Catholic Monarchs. It was modeled after the Bourges Cathedral, although its five naves plan is a consequence of the constructors' intention to cover all of the sacred space of the former city mosque with the cathedral, and of the former sahn with the cloister. It also combines some characteristics of the Mudéjar style, mainly in the cloister, and with the presence of multifoiled arches in the triforium. The spectacular incorporation of light and the structural achievements of the ambulatory vaults are some of its more remarkable aspects. It is built with white limestone from the quarries of Olihuelas, near Toledo.
It is popularly known as Dives Toletana (meaning The Rich Toledan in Latin).

Some of the ceiling tiles have been removed in order for the construction team to have access to pipes and ductwork.
This grand Victorian Gothic catholic church is otherwise known as Erdington Abbey, and the adjoining range of school buildings in a similar style once served as the monastic complex. The church is an impressive attempt at invoking 14th century Decorated by Charles Hansom (who was 'helped' by Fr Daniel Haigh) in the late 1840s. It all feels rather Pugin, but his only role here was the design of the (Hardman) east and west windows, which are busy and heavily populated by small figures.
The interior is on the whole surprisingly light, brightened up with whitewash and richly furnished, the chancel in particular; Pevsner dismisses it as full of 'fussy and distracting detail', but I found it one of the more attractive of Victorian church interiors. An odd feature is the former south porch, which has been converted into a pretty miniature oratory complete with vaulted ceiling.
I've been here twice and found it open on weekdays, always with an atmosphere of hushed quietness and usually one or two people in meditation in a side chapel. It's very much a place to tiptoe round quietly, but a pleasant one nonetheless.
Castle Howard is a stately home in North Yorkshire, England, 15 miles north of York. It is a private residence, and has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years.
Southwark Cathedral. Shortly after pressing the shutter I was told that photographing without a license was not permitted.
Sanded, bleached, and the church's original lights cleaned in the bathtub. They're 70s lamps and must have been installed during the building's 1970s upgrade

Visitors who knew the room in the past will find it transformed when they visit again. A replica of the original stained-glass ceiling and banks of ornately trimmed ceiling coffers, new and restored furnishings, a fresh coat of paint, and re-creations of the original bronze wall sconces give the room a warm and elegant tone.
