a sumptuous interior

This is in Portsmouth Cathedral. We had visited the outside often but never thought to go inside until our friend, Ellie, asked about it.

I am glad she did as it is really beautiful.

On the altar cloth is the tree of life, also represented on the entrance doors.

@wendyfrost

Yes, I think so, Wendy and the cathedral is also known as The Cathedral of the Sea.

Me too, Ivan, but cannot claim to be religious.

Lovely symmetry, light and detail Hazel looks a beautiful place to visit:)

I've passed this many times but never visited... a mistake, obviously!

@vignouse

Yes, much more to see inside! The exterior does not give a good indication of what lies in the interior....

[Pyrrhula]

Great view , and capture, of this beautiful interior.

i like your use of sumptuous and i like the photo haze

@phil_howcroft

Thank you, Phil. The plain exterior gives no clue that one might use ‘sumptuous’ for the interior!

[Richard Hickey]
