Washington Cathedral



Sender: Chaelamonstah

The Washington Cathedral, Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenue
Chaelamonstah writes that the cathedral is so stunning to see. I like this aerial view of it, showing the impressive spires & built. I wish to see the inside especially if there are any stained glass windows therein. I love stained glass art.

Athassel Priory


Sender: Alienne
'P' is for 'Priory'!

Athassel Priory is a ruined monastic site in County Tipperary, Ireland founded in the 12th century. Although it is in ruins, many details from the original medieval priory that once stood here still remain. The church entrance is a beautifully carved doorway at its west end, while to the south of the church is the cloister, its graceful arches eroded by time.

La Catedral, Barcelona

Sender: Amapola11

The full name of Barcelona Cathedral is Cathedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulalia. Inside is a crypt alleged to hold the body of St. Eulalia, the 13 year-old martyr who became the patron saint of Barcelona. In her honour the courtyard in the cloister next door is always stocked with 13 white geese who have a small pool to glide across. 

I love this view because of the rain, as Amapola11 rightly pointed out. You know, sometimes rain makes the view more colourful and awesome :)
