Another shot to try and show the sheer size of The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, which is the fifth largest Cathedral in the world.

Now listen to some music by one of England's greatest ever composers, Henry Purcell (1659-1695). This is the first part of his dramatic and moving Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary. The Mary in question is Mary II (1662-1694) who ruled jointly with her husband William of Orange. Purcell composed this music for her funeral in Westminster Abbey. It was next played less than a year later in the same Church at his own funeral. He died aged 36. You may recognise this music as a synthesised version was the theme music for "A Clockwork Orange".

Beautiful, I love the mood of the picture. And Purcell is always good to hear.

This is a very dramatic shot Steve - like looking into the face and open mouth of some giant beast. A success, particularly because of the warm light. It must have been quite a challenge to capture!

Color and lighting are perfect. After listening to the music, I could feel it become very quiet and reverant around your photo Steve. Excellent post.

Very good picture. The only thing i did not like is that it seemed somewhat like a snapshot photo. Good job.

Something seems off balance here, maybe it's on a slight tilt. Never the less, it's good, yet almost Satanic looking. I like how the photo carrys your ey from the top though the ceiling and out the bottom. Clever.
