January 24th 2010 - 'Dragon's Nostril' at the Anglican Cathedral

Back photographing the interior of the Anglican Cathedral again today. This shot was taken in the area behind the altar, where the choir and clergy congregate before a service begins. I love the colour and texture of the sandstone and how it seems to illuminate the jewel colours in the stained glass window beyond. There are two of these archways, framing the steps on either side of the altar. The choir refer to 'going through the dragon's nostrils' as they file up and out into the choir stalls through these archways - a fitting description.
