I recently visited Lincoln Cathedral to hear my partner sing in a choir there and while they were rehearsing I was able to try and capture my impressions of the place with my camera. Now as you may know, I am an athiest but that doesn't stop me finding such places fascinating.
But I am seldom drawn to the grand views which although magnificent somehow don't touch me that much but instead to the small things, and in Lincoln particularly the stone carvings at the entrance. Perhpas that is a reflection of my athiesm as they feel human rather than something austere and other worldly. It as if the stone carvers were given freedom to express their imagination and as with music where the Devil has the best tunes it seems that Medieval Stone masons had most fun when they are depicting a Hell populated with fantastic demons and tortured sinners.
