Cornwall's Cathedral - Sepia Saturday

One of the frustrating things about photographing cathedrals is that often there is in sufficient space to get a full view of their glory and their spires. Truro Cathedral is no exception to this, but I tried:







Nave with High Altar at the end


High Altar - Truro Cathedral

High Altar and Reredos


The spire may not be as high as Little Nell's Salisbury; Truro Cathedral was not started until 1890 so is comparatively modern - an impressive building nevertheless.

    Looks awesome! There's nothing in my city half as old that looks even remotely as spectacular.

    Love that 1890 is comparatively modern - in Australia our heritage buildings are much newer :)

    Too bad they don't make a camera lens big enough to grab it all.

    Great post Bob. Nice pictures. Well there's another cathedral that I've never heard of... I'm going to have to pay it a visit. A very solid looking building.

    I love spires, cathedrals and all those majestic buildings. I suppose 1890 is modern compared to the 16oo's, etc. You did get some fantastic photos.

    There is a fabulous convent & hospital close to where I live...surrounded by new wings of the hospital and you can't truly appreciate the lovely old architecture of the old buildings. Such is progress, I fear. You did a great job catching good angles of the spires here!

    I had never heard of Truro before. What a large cathedral for such a small city. Impressive indeed!

    Interior arches are my favorite! And the clouds in the first photo couldn't have been more picture perfect!

    What a stunning cathedral. I can't believe I was so close and didn't go there. I like to imagine it when it was being built and what the surrounding area looked like. Now it's neatly tucked into a side street.
