What do you think of Gothic architecture ?
i saw the west facade of Reims Cathedral in France and i felt so tiny looking at it.

- it is probably pretty.
- hmm, that cathedral is HUGE now that you mention it and as far as Gothic architecture goes, i get awestruck by it, with all those details and exaggerations and I'm think around the years 1225-1290 ish it was like a race to make the biggest and extravagant buildings ever.
- i think it's brilliant and stunning to look at .
- It's very awe inspiring. I prefer the Cathedral at Chartres. When you walk down the centre of the nave, you feel like you're walking into heaven with all the glass stained windows around and above you. Peace.
- Mesmerized ~~~~~~~~ How the hell did they do it~~~~~~~ that long ago!?!?
- It tells a story many.
- BHut exactly that was the intention of the architects..to make people feel insignificant to the glory of God to which the cathedral was dedicated
- It makes me lonely for a time that probably never was.
