I like to take photographs of churches the architecture is always fascinating. Information from Wikipedia:
A common architecture for churches is the shape of a cross (a long central rectangle, with side rectangles, and a rectangle in front for the altar space or sanctuary). These churches also often have a dome or other large vaulted space in the interior to represent or draw attention to the heavens. Other common shapes for churches include a circle, to represent eternity, or an octagon or similar star shape, to represent the church's bringing light to the world. Another common feature is the spire, a tall tower on the "west" end of the church or over the crossing.
This is the interior of St Cuthbert’s Church in Wells, Somerset. It is quite a large parish church and often gets mistaken by tourists for the Cathedral.
The sun was shining through the stained glass windows causing reflections to ‘float in the air’.
I like the top photo inside the church - it is often difficult to get a good shot due to the lighting, which is nice for worshipping, but not so much for photographing.
