The first of three photos all featuring the octagonal light that is the eye-dragging effective centre of this impressive cathedral. Here the view from the choir stalls looking back down the nave. The dark wood tracery of the screen is in strong contrast to the bright octagon above.
A close up fo the decoration around the base of the octagonal light - as seen through one of the (also decorated) gothic arches.
A view up to the octagonal light from not quite below it. The ribs the reach into the light and create a star-like pattern around it can be seen in the barely iluminated gloom.
Well done for lying down - I didn't. I thought I'd just add some some of my photos, to your inspired shot, of this very fine and remarkable bit of cathedral architecture ...to fill out the context. #ElyCathedral #IsleofEly #Ely
