Today we got the opportunity to visit the amazing St. Paul's Cathedral. The outside of the building is very beautiful as its architecture draws from various styles such as classic and Gothic . My favorite part will always be the statues and the amazing detail put into them. The inside of the cathedral reminded me of Westminster Abbey and it was just gorgeous. Everywhere I looked there would be a statue, a memorial, or colorful panels of art. It truly was a memorable experience.
Unfortunately, I could not get pictures from inside the church. We then proceeded to go upstairs (234 steps, i counted) and get a closer view of the art on the dome which is very interesting since it stands out from everything else. It stands out because it is not very colorful at all. All the paintings around it are very colorful and the yellow paint sparkles when the light reflects on it. But the dome itself is very opaque and has sepia colors to it instead of a rainbow of colors one would expect from the inside of a dome.
The dome!
I will post some of the pictures I took of the outside of the dome soon! ~Rebecca S.
