Carlisle Cathedral

[purplecat]

The grounds of Carlisle Cathedral were quite picturesque. It's not a large building (as cathedral's go) and we walked all round it trying to find the entrance.


I feel like this end of the cathedral must have been remodelled at some point - hence the off-centre organ, but I couldn't find any information on it in the cathedral itself.


The roof was rather spectacular. You could hire a deck chair for an hour to sit and contemplate it, if you wished. I think it was performance art of some kind as well as just an opportunity to look at the roof.

The roof looks like something a Christmas card design would aspire to but couldn't achieve, just because the medium wasn't right (massive great curved canvas!).

What a beautiful ceiling.

If you look at the wall to the right of the organ, there's evidence of changes to the design there.

It did feel kind of appropriate to be posting this time of year - even though the picture was taken in August!

It was pretty incredible. I can see why they hit on the deck chair idea, though we didn't really have time to linger.

Indeed! Something was obviously moved about at some point.

Wow!

I love that blue ceiling.
