The Walls Have Legs - a photo on Flickriver

A slightly different view from The Crossing at Lincoln Cathedral, England. This is the point directly beneath the central tower where the north and south transepts meet. At the bottom centre of the image is the ornately carved stone choir screen, with the 1898 Willis organ above it. This organ has approximately 4000 pipes in total, most of which are hidden from view. Just above the organ, the dark square with the diamond shape inside it is the central tower - this was directly above me when taking this spherical panorama. Continuing upwards in the image you can see the spectacular symmetical roof vaults of the nave, flanked either side by its huge stone columns and arches that form the "legs" of the image.

The two round windows that can be seen either side of the choir screen are the end walls of the north and south transepts. Although they appear in this image to be facing the same direction, they are in fact directly opposite each other. This effect is caused by the stereographic projection I've used to create this panorama, and the transforms I've applied to manipulate the view.

Lincoln Cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln, England. Construction started in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. It is the fourth largest cathedral in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, London St Paul's and York Minster. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
