Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia - Entrada al claustro, Cale de la Pietat.
Beautiful quilt side street of the Cathedral of Barcelona view is entry to the cloister
Can I ask on this night
Of winter dark and cold light
That I might have a single miracle
And see you again in my heart
This side chapel is set aside for private prayer, and is where the Reserved Sacrament is now kept. There is a resurrection window designed by Douglas Strachen and the atmosphere in this part of the church is very special. But since the pandemic I have not been able to get any closer than this, as it has been roped off. I could say so much here, but let's just say it is filled with more spirits than the living.
So I have asked for a miracle.

Taken just before Christmas from the edge of the north transept at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England. The transepts form the oldest part of the cathedral, dating from around 1090.
The pinnacle of the "bed", just above centre, is the Octagon Tower lantern which was built in the 14th-century after the original Norman central tower collapsed. It was made with around 200 tonnes of English oak; the 63 ft main structural beams weigh 17 tonnes each.
Ely Cathedral has been used as a location for several major film and TV productions including Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Macbeth, The King's Speach and The Crown.

An icon from my home country of England.
Located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, built in 1859.
More commonly known as Big Ben, its official title being the Elizabeth Tower, in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.
The original architect for the clock tower was Augustus Pugin, not Charles Barry who designed the Palace. It stands 96 m in height.
The Palace of Westminster as a whole has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

La Lady Chapel qui forme le chevet de l’abbaye de Westminster, 20 Deans Yard, Londres, Angleterre, Royaume-Uni. Une vue à partir la rue Abingdon Street.
Cette chapelle, maintenant plus connue sous le nom de chapelle Henry VII et située à l'extrémité orientale de l'abbaye de Westminster, séparée du reste par des portes en laiton et un escalier. Elle a été construite par la volonté du roi Henry VII, fondateur de la lignée Tudor, pour trois raisons. Premièrement, il voulait construire un sanctuaire pour honorer et conserver le corps d'Henri VI, qui devait être canonisé. En fin de compte, la canonisation n'a pas eu lieu et Henri VII et sa femme, Elizabeth d'York, ont été enterrés dans la tombe destinée à Henri VI. Deuxièmement, Henri VII souhaitait dédier une chapelle plus élaborée à la Vierge pour remplacer la structure plus ancienne et plus simple; et troisièmement, il voulait un mausolée royal pour lui, sa famille et ses héritiers sur un site religieux important qui renforcerait sa légitimité en tant que roi et son héritage.
Fondée en 1065, cette abbaye fut le lieu de couronnement de tous les souverains anglais depuis Guillaume le Conquérant en 1066. Cela la sauva de la destruction lorsqu’en 1540, Henry VIII a dissout les monastères dans le cadre de sa guerre à l’église catholique. Les deux tours de l’entrée ouest date de 1745.
Reconstruit à partir de 1840 autour de remarquables vestiges médiévaux, le palais de Westminster est un exemple éminent, cohérent et complet du style néogothique. Avec la petite église St Margaret, de style gothique perpendiculaire, et la prestigieuse Westminster Abbey dans laquelle furent couronnés tous les souverains britanniques depuis le 11e siècle, il présente un ensemble de signification historique et symbolique importante qui, depuis 1987, est classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO (WHL- 426bis).
The day before, a search was made in Leuven for the soldier who felt abandoned by the government for which he had served for years. A day later I arrived in this amazing city. This gothic town hall is a feast for the eyes. The old town hall is the pride of Leuven. It is also one of the most famous Gothic town halls in the world.
Lincoln Cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln, England. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. It is the fourth largest cathedral in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, London St Paul's and York Minster. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
One major architectural feature of Lincoln Cathedral is the range of spectacular roof vaults. The varying vaults within the cathedral are said to be both original and experimental. There are several different kinds of vaults that differ between the nave, aisles, choir, and chapels. Saint Hugh's Choir exhibits extremely unusual vaults (shown on the left in this photo). It is a series of asymmetrical vaults that appear to almost be a diagonal line created by two ribs on one side translating into only a single rib on the other side of the vault. This pattern divides up the space of the vaults and bays, perfectly placing the emphasis on the bays. Each separate area of Lincoln Cathedral can be identified solely by the different vaults of the space.
(NB – the strange lines are murmurating birds as seen under a 1/10 sec exposure time; had I realised what was going on when I was shooting, I would have tried to make more of it. Another time!)
Deeply romantic yet squat and robust, Wells Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Andrew the Apostle, is mostly in Early English style. Construction was started in 1175 by Bishop Reginald FitzJocelyn on the site of a Saxon abbey built by St Aldhelm in 705; it replaced Sherborne as the seat of an episcopal see in 909, and it was removed again to Bath after the Norman Conquest in 1090. The new building begun by FitzJocelyn was intended from its inception to facilitate a return of the episcopal seat to Wells. The bulk of the work was finished by 1326.
The magnificent West Front, with 300 sculpted figures, followed in the years after 1365 under master mason William Wynford.
The Cathedral fell into disrepair under Oliver Cromwell, and after a happy interlude during the Restoration was again damaged by Puritan soldiers during the Monmouth Rebellion, who damaged the West Front and stabled their horses in the nave.
Wells Cathedral is the seat of the Bishops of Bath and Wells.
Cologne Cathedral is a renowned monument of Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day and currently the tallest twin-spired church at 157 m (515 ft) tall. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral
Female figure passing under a street lamp where had to be a torch in past times placed on the stone of the walls of the Palace of the Lieutenant, in the Counts Street of the Gothic Quarter and headquarters of the Archive of the Crown of Aragon, seen from Mercy Street, at the height of the apse of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
Beautiful decorative church of San Bartolomé, built in late Gothic style in the second half of the 15th century and the early 16th century.
San Bartolomé is the patron saint of this town.
If this image is viewed on the Flickr website it will display as an interactive panorama. It will begin to rotate automatically, but you can click and drag on it to rotate it left, right, up or down. The image covers the entire 360˚ view, including the ceiling and the floor.
If it's viewed on the Flickr mobile app, the image will not be interactive. Instead, it will display as a static equirectangular projection of the spherical panorama. This is just like many world maps, where the further you go towards the top and bottom edges, the more stretched the image becomes.
Lichfield Cathedral, in Staffordshire, England, is a gothic cathedral built between 1195 and 1340. It's the only medieval English cathedral with three spires.
The building suffered severe damage during the English Civil War of 1642–1651, in which all of the stained glass was destroyed. In spite of this, the windows of the Lady Chapel contain some of the finest medieval Flemish painted glass in existence. Dating from the 1530s, it came from the Abbey of Herkenrode in Belgium, in 1801, having been purchased by Brooke Boothby when that abbey was dissolved during the Napoleonic Wars.
St. Pancras church, Widdecombe-in-the-moor, Dartmoor, Devon. 14th Century. In 1638, in The Great Thunderstorm, it was damaged by ball lightning during an afternoon service that killed 4 and injured 60...local legend says the storm was caused by the devil visiting the village!

Look after me
In the dark of the night
On a winter's eve
When all I can see
Is the universe in your eyes
Under leaden skies
I was in here on my own as night fell and it seemed to me that the outside came in, the night sky filled the church. The colour went from the windows and the building was like a ship sailing across the universe. It was beautiful.

"The organ was built by Henry Willis in 1879, and was inaugurated on Easter Day by the Cathedral Organist, Dr A.L. Peace, as the first permanent organ installed in the Cathedral since the Reformation. It was rebuilt and enlarged by Henry Willis & Sons in 1903 and 1931, and again by J.W. Walker & Sons in 1971. In 1996 the organ was completely reconstructed and redesigned by Harrison & Harrison, with new slider chests, rebuilt actions and an improved layout; the original wind reservoirs have been fully restored. The excellent Willis pipework of 1879, somewhat altered over the years, remains at the heart of the organ." Source: glasgowcathedral.org
"L'orgue a été construit par Henry Willis en 1879 et inauguré le jour de Pâques par l'organiste de la cathédrale, le Dr AL Peace, en tant que premier orgue permanent installé dans la cathédrale depuis la Réforme. Il a été reconstruit et agrandi par Henry Willis & Sons en 1903 et 1931, et de nouveau par JW Walker & Sons en 1971. En 1996, l'orgue a été entièrement reconstruit et redessiné par Harrison & Harrison, avec de nouveaux coffres coulissants, des actions reconstruites et une disposition améliorée; les réservoirs de vent d'origine ont été entièrement restaurés. l'excellente tuyauterie Willis de 1879, quelque peu modifiée au fil des ans, reste au cœur de l'orgue."

Equestrian statue in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona of Ramon Berenguer III, also known as Ramon Berenguer the Great, count of Barcelona, Girona, Osona, Besalú, Provença and Cerdanya.
In the background is Bruges's City Hall - a landmark building built in a late Gothic monumental-style between 1376 and 1421.
This is a spherical view of St Etheldreda's Chapel in Ely Cathedral, an Anglican cathedral in the city of Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. The chapel is a shrine to the Saxon queen Etheldreda who founded a monastery on the site in 673. The present building dates back to 1083, and it was granted cathedral status in 1109. The east end of the cathedral, which contains this chapel, the Presbytery and the High Altar, was completed in 1252.
The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Ely and a suffragan bishop, the Bishop of Huntingdon. Architecturally it is outstanding both for its scale and stylistic details. Having been built in a monumental Romanesque style, the galilee porch, lady chapel and choir were rebuilt in an exuberant Decorated Gothic style.
I created this spherical panorama by taking 9 frames with a fisheye lens and stitching them together to form a 188 megapixel image that covers the entire 360˚ view, from floor to ceiling. Each frame was taken with 5 bracketed exposures to capture the full dynamic range from the bright windows to the dark corners. I transformed the spherical panorama to the 2D rectangle you see here using stereographic projection.

The choir of the gothic cathedral of Chartres (completed c. 1221) was recently restored, albeit not to everybody's taste.

This is a shot of the ceiling of the octagonal Chapter House of the York Minster in York. The construction of the Chapter House start in 1260. It's where the Dean and Chapter of York administer the cathedral, and as such is the only area not consecrated within the Minster. It is still used today for this purpose. Its design means that no-one is seated in a central position, and so everyone is equal and no-one can assume authority. The Chapter House is in the Decorated Gothic style and is unique as it does not have a central column to support the roof vaulting. The structure was complete by 1286.
This shot was taken handheld and later on processed in Photoshop doing a little dodging and burning to bring out the structure of the ceiling and to highlight some details.
