More from the indominable Vincent Laforet, these were taken at night, dangling from a helocopter at 7,500 feet above the city. There are many more pictures as well as the complete story, somehow involving a Men's Health article!?

Ely and Durham cathedrals
Peter Marlow, a photographer of the storied Magnum agency, recently completed a cycle of photographing all of the Anglican cathedrals in the UK. Originally he was commissioned by the Royal Mail to shoot 6 of them in 2008 for the 300th anniversary of St. Pauls. From that he worked over the next 4 years to shoot all 42 of them, with natural early-morning light, from the entrance looking down the nave. From the large-format negatives large prints, approx 110×85cm, were displayed this past summer at the Wapping Project Bankside and are now available in book form.

Long exposure of the interior of Salisbury Cathedral, often remembered for its inverted arches. The traces are of the candles carried throughout the sanctuary during the 'darkness into light' service which begins Advent.
