I spent last Saturday morning at the National Cathedral in NW D.C. and it may sound like a pun but what a religious experience of architecture. First things first, it is huge. Think of the biggest church you have ever been in times ten. Then all the attention to detail throughout the building in the stained glass, the chapels, everything. But most impressive to me is the stone work both inside AND outside the building. I have seen alot of it in my day but that work is exceptional.
Anyway, first shots are mainly of the facility itself and the last are my favorite pieces of stone work from outside the building.
Enjoy
