Salisbury Cathedral

At this point in the trip we have passed several cathedrals, but none quite like Salisbury cathedral. The ornate detail in each section of this gothic style cathedral was breathtaking. At Salisbury we also had the opportunity to see the Magna Carta. The extra buttressing that was added to the cathedral was easily identifiable and the bowing out of columns underneath the center helped to support this large weight. I enjoyed the town of Salisbury as well and the more vibrant colors of the town was a nice contrast to the darker interior and exterior of the church. I was also intrigued by the modern sculptures throughout the property of the church and am curious to know the reasoning behind placing these sculptures around the cathedral.
