Description
The Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, built between 1964 and 1979, is dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of Rio de Janeiro. Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro has a standing-room capacity of 20,000 people. It is 106 metres internal diameter and 96 metres high outside because of its conical structure. The main door is composed of 48 bronze plaques with bas-reliefs that cover topics related to faith. The beautiful interior features four rectilinear stained glass windows of 64 metres (210 ft) from floor to ceiling.

What a magnificent capture of the Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, Barbie! I love how you shot this looking up, so that the building looks like it is almost "engulfing" the viewer, in a sense! This is truly a unique way of photographing a subject! Love it! Fave! L/F!
