Spirit And Stone

I am not an especially spiritual person, but I've always been keenly interested in the interplay of religion in communities (more on that another time) and the role architecture plays in religion. When you enter one of the cathedrals in Europe (like the Speyer Cathedral) the feeling is intense; the structure feels eternal, even if it is so obviously not. This series of photos really intrigues me as it explores the interplay of spirit and stone.
