National Cathedral
Every time I go to DC, my heart swells up with pride to see our nation’s capital! I can feel the history in the air. I can’t explain this feeling in words. Once I took up photography, it became even more pronounced. This particular Saturday, I was invited for a private photography tour by my fellow cohort from Arcanum. I’ve tried photographing this place a few times before but was unsuccessful due to the scaffolding inside to repair the damage done during an earthquake a couple of years ago.
This is classic gothic architecture and it’s the world’s 6th largest cathedral and 2nd largest in the US. The wrought iron work throughout the cathedral requires a tour in itself. I tried to capture the essence of the architecture in this trip and I know I will be going back many times to examine and capture intricate details in the future.
Here is the #Vertorama that shows the cathedral nave and ceiling while the sunlight casts beautiful shadows through the stained glass windows.
Here are the images to show the view from the floor above the ground level
Here are the hallways and altars in the basement of the cathedral.
