More Gothic Cathedrals

John Ruskin considered Gothic cathedrals to be the consummate expression of human architecture because--in contrast to the mass-produced modern buildings of the Victorian era--the Gothic cathedrals bear the marks of human hands. They are irregular, built over a few hundred years by generations of stone cutters and craftsmen. It's pretty incredible to consider contributing to a project that will never be completed in one's lifetime. I was privileged to see three examples of these amazing structures. Above is Notre Dame; below, Westminster Abbey.
