Beautiful shot — this is the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, one of the most iconic and majestic landmarks in the city. About the Dome: • Architect: Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, completed in the early 18th century after the Great Fire of London (1666). • Style: A stunning example of English Baroque architecture. • Inspiration: Wren was inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The dome is one of the largest in the world, standing nearly 365 feet (111 meters) high. What You’re Seeing: • The inner dome with its rich frescoes painted by Sir James Thornhill, depicting scenes from the life of St. Paul. • The windows just below it are part of the Whispering Gallery, where even whispers can travel around the dome’s circumference thanks to its perfect acoustics. • Beneath this structure lies the crypt, where Wren himself is buried. The dome isn’t just visually striking — it’s also a symbol of resilience. During WWII, it famously survived the Blitz and became a rallying image of hope for Londoners. Such a majestic place to stand beneath — great capture!
