Happy Saturday. For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Openings, the superb interior of Wells Cathedral. The beautiful arches evenly distribute the roof and tower so don't wouldn’t collapse #photography #cathedral #art #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #ArchitecturePhotography #WellsCathedral #Arch

Wells Cathedral from above
When I've taken drone photos of the cathedral previously, I've only taken the very impressive West Front. This time, I thought that I'd take some views from the back and the sides.

Two spectacular arched windows, with fan vaulting above. Light floods in.
Windows in the Chapter House at #WellsCathedral, in the Decorated Gothic style from around the turn of the 14th century. It is a beautiful, serene space, designed for discussion of church affairs and legal proceedings. #WindowsOnWednesday #Somerset #Cathedrals

A trip back to #wellscathedral today and the Wells food festival. I lit a candle in the cathedral for the nearest and dearest I’ve sadly lost this year.

Wells, a tiny village with a stunning cathedral, the highlight being this stunning chapter house. Again, patience needed with so many people visiting.
