But. Every other cathedral photo in human history is dark and gloomy. You place at zone VI stuff that every other photographer places at zone III. Flipping brilliant.
A quick internet search tells me that Salisbury Cathedral has the best of the remaining four copies of Magna Carta and one of the world’s oldest working clocks.
“Bigger, better, best—and built in a mere 38 years, roughly from 1220 to 1258, which is a pretty short construction schedule for a large stone building made without motorized equipment.”
Spandrels always remind me of the late Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould. That was some fun science writing.

You can see why people flock from as far away as Russia to see it.

Love love love the vertiginous 2d / 3d spatial play. Gorgeous
