Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week calls for images of squares and/or rectangles.

This trompe l’oeil image is, in fact, a section of a tiled floor in Beverley Minster. The 3D effect is quite something.

Lens-Artists Challenge: sense of scale

Posted on August 19, 2024

The Minster dominates the skyline of the Yorkshire town of Beverley. It’s not a cathedral – although I’ve been in smaller churches that are counted as such. However it is, apparently, the largest parish church in England. I’m not surprised.

The vaulted ceiling of the nave reaches 65 feet above floor level (the nave itself is over 170 feet long). I think this image conveys a sense of the scale of the building. I captured it by dint of setting the timer on my iPhone, (using the Snap Pro app), placing it on the floor and beating a hasty retreat to get out of shot.
