Gloucester Cathedral: Cloisters

The cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral are famous for having the oldest fan vaulting in England, begun in the mid 14th century and finished before 1412. In recent times several scenes in the Harry Potter movies were filmed there.

Der Kreuzgang der Kathedrale von Gloucester ist berühmt für das älteste erhaltene Fächergewölbe in England. Der Bau wurde Mitte des 14. Jh begonnen und war vor 1412 fertiggestellt. Im Kreuzgang wurden etliche Szenen der Harry-Potter-Filme gedreht.

Leon_Vienna ^club

Tolle Aufnahmen! Das ist die Phase, in der die Gotik schon fast barock wirkt.
Du hast das sehr gut herüber gebracht, trotz Weitwinkel wirkt alles sehr natürlich!! Feine Sache!
Was soll man in England nur noch alles machen??? ;-)

Oh how delicate that ceiling appears Gudrun. Nicely captured in a manner that suggest a real softness. Bravo :)

Thank you, Chris! That ceiling is rightly famous! The softness is helped by the mellow colour of the stone.
