RE: Scissor arches and chained library at the Wells Cathedral in UK

in Worldmappin2 years ago

You did a really great job dealing wih the enormous size of everything, all the crazy angles etc. inside the catherdral. I know too well how challenging it actually is, I was inside a giant medieval cathedral just a few weeks ago too (the St. Vitus Cathedral here in Prague, you might have seen the post...) So yeah, kudos to you for these amazing pictures (and kudos to the architects of this spectacular church too of course). Btw never heard of the "chained libraries". Very cool. Reminds me of the "chained outdoor gym" that I go to where all the dumbbells are chained so that people don´t steal them :D

Sort:  

omg!! The chained outdoor gym!! I wonder how far people can go if they steal the dumbells, that would truly be a lot of exercise!

The two cathedrals do look quite similar, don't they?! I guess in those days, the European influence extended a long way to over England.

Hahaha that´s right, running with stolen dumbbells would be a really tough workout :D But yeah, even at the outdoor gym that I used in Krakow, the dumbbells were chained :)

It does make sense though. Dumbbells are surprisingly expensive. A pair of decent 20kg dumbbells can easily cost as much as 200 dollars in a fitness store...
