The medieval-era Cathedral in Coventry was destroyed in a bombing raid during WWII. The new Cathedral, focussed on reconciliation, was deliberately modernist, but connected physically to the ruins of the old Cathedral to demonstrate continuity.
Oh this photo brought back memories. I remember going to the new cathedral on a school trip shortly after it was completed in the 1960s. I am showing my age now. It is a magnificent structure and standing next to the ruins of the old cathedral just makes it so special.
I recognised this instantly, even though I haven't been there since a primary school visit over sixty years ago. This is a marvellous shot of a very impressive scene. Fav!
Nicely composed shot.
