WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – SCALE (2)

The-Nave,-TEWKESBURY-ABBEY-06

The Nave at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire

Scale was something our ancestors did on a BIG Scale when it came to Religious buildings such as Cathedrals and Abbey’s.  The size was there to both entice and impress, a visual statement of there importance over the worshipers, emphasising just how small mankind is in the Religious world as it was.

Thankfully they also combined a great deal of style in the construction…..style and grandeur we can still admire to-day.

Scale is this weeks Photo Challenge

  3. Lovely. About 25 years ago I spent a week centred in Tewkesbury with my 14- and 10-year olds. The Abbey must have been closed, because we didn’t visit it!
