In our photography trip we visited the two most famous cathedrals in Liverpool, and two of the most famous in Britain; The Anglican cathedral and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The Anglican boasts a traditional medieval look complete with a structure of sandstone brick, and a very large interior, with multiple statues and religious artworks, it also has a huge marble flooring with stairs leading down to the huge wooden main entrance although it is roped off. Near this entrance is two wooden staircases that run adjacent to each other which lead to a walkway that allows visitors to peer over the rest of the massive interior. It was made 1978.
The Metropolitan Cathedral is a lot more modern than its traditional counterpart, with a cone based structure and multiple support beams surrounding the base. The more cylindrical 'tip' of the cathedral has large stained glass windows with roughly 12-13 spikes on the top of this tip; the frontside of the building has three staircase's one in the middle with large steps and two on the sides with smaller steps, the inside of the cathedral has circular structure with rows of chairs facing an alter, which is below a very large chandelier, the walls are adorned with various pieces of art of religious art similar to the Anglican Cathedral.
For the Anglican cathedral, I mainly took pictures of the lush gardens below us, and the huge tower adorned with large statues, I also took pictures of it from distances to give a real feeling of how big it was. On the inside the interior was just as huge as the exterior, so I took advantage of that by taking pictures from the floor, or looking up to really encapsulate the vertigo-inducing interior. With Metropolitan, there was a large set of stairs leading up to the cathedral so I took advantage of that by crouching and getting the stairs and the main plaza to show the sheer scale of the building. Not only did I try and show the scale of the building, but I also tried to show the modern architecture and the decorations dotted around the front of the building (such a the multicoloured, glass, struts at the base of the stairs)
