Burgos Cathedral Part 2

Here are more photos of this illustrious cathedral - these are from the cloisters, of which there are two, an upper and a lower one:
a wonderfully dismissive maid

faux carving even then

four brothers in high relief

such delicate stone carving and so deep!


reflection of the towers


I love the musical angels

also great to see - modern artists' work where plain glass was before

part of the cathedral's collection of
precious objects, ignoring
where and how the ivory and gold
came from!

a particularly fine reliquary

  1. The four brothers visible in the third photo down appear to be modelling first, second, and fourth position. Wish you had captured the fourth brother. Would he have been in third, fifth, or parallel?
