Interior of a cathedral featuring tall stained glass windows with intricate colorful designs on a dimly lit wall. Wooden pews occupy the foreground, with two individuals seated; one wearing a red jacket on the right, the other further back. Stone columns and a statue of a robed figure holding a book are visible on the right.

A detailed interior shot of a grand church bathed in warm golden light, looking down the nave towards the altar. The ceiling is elaborately decorated with ornate gilded carvings and frescoes, while large crystal chandeliers hang from the arches, illuminating the space. A congregation of people stands in the foreground with their backs to the camera, facing the altar during a service.

Circles of Light and Stone

Some buildings stop being places of worship and become places of wonder. The Eusebius Church in Arnhem — now the Stichting Eusebius Arnhem, a museum celebrating the city’s history — is one of them.

When I stepped inside, the calm air carried a sense of timeless geometry. My eyes were immediately drawn upward to the large golden light rings suspended from the high arched ceiling. Perfectly stacked, they seemed to hover between heaven and history — a bridge between sacred architecture and modern design.

I stood directly beneath them, camera in hand — the Canon 5DsR paired with the Sigma 24–70mm Art — and aligned the frame so that every circle, every rib of the arch, fell into balance. Light as a subject. Symmetry as a teacher.

Photography, after all, is a study of how light defines form — and sometimes, in places like this, both feel eternal.

A quiet moment inside a Manhattan church. The air felt still, the light soft and heavy. One person sat alone in prayer, surrounded by silence and stillness.

Dinge die mit "G" beginnen...Gebet' //
Things that start with the letter G... well in German it was a prayer, but to stay on subject, in English it could be gods, old and new #FotoVorschlag

Also, TIL the alternative meaning of the word "habit".

A full-shot, vertical photo shows the interior of a Catholic church. In the foreground, a person in a dark grey habit is sitting on a wooden pew with their back to the camera, facing the altar. To their left, another person in a grey shirt is also sitting on a pew, looking down. In the background, the ornate, golden altar features a painting and is flanked by golden statues. Above the altar, a crucifix with the figure of Jesus Christ is mounted on the wall. Statues of angels are visible on the side walls. The photo has a dark, dramatic mood.

St. Thomas Church in Leipzig captivates with its late Gothic architecture and striking red-and-white vaulted ceiling. Famous as the workplace of Johann Sebastian Bach, it impresses with its acoustics, magnificent organ, and historical significance. Visitors experience a powerful blend of history and music in this sacred space.

In the Castle Church of Wittenberg, the neo-Gothic princely pew made of oak stands between the pulpit and the chancel. Commissioned by Emperor Wilhelm II, it was donated by Protestant German princes and the free cities of Lübeck, Hamburg, and Bremen. Designed by Friedrich Adler and executed by Wilhelm Lober, the 22 seats are adorned with coats of arms and ornate canopies.

In der Schlosskirche Wittenberg steht zwischen Kanzel und Chor das neogotische Fürstengestühl aus Eiche. Auf Wunsch Kaiser Wilhelms II. wurde es von evangelischen Bundesfürsten und den freien Städten Lübeck, Hamburg und Bremen gestiftet. Die Entwürfe stammen von Friedrich Adler, die Ausführung übernahm Wilhelm Lober. Baldachine schmücken die 22
Wappenplätze.

I stand before the high altar of the Wittenberg Castle Church, where light dances through colorful stained glass and the stone figures glow in its shine. The Gothic arches frame the scene, and solemn silence fills the space. In this sacred atmosphere, I feel deeply moved by history and reverence.

Ich stehe vor dem Hochaltar der Wittenberger Schlosskirche, wo das Licht durch bunte Glasfenster tanzt und die steinernen Skulpturen im Schein erstrahlen. Die gotischen Spitzbögen rahmen das Relief, während feierliche Stille den Raum durchdringt. In diesem Ambiente fühle ich mich ergriffen von Geschichte und Andacht.

I stand inside the Castle Church in Wittenberg, admiring the intricately carved pulpit made of dark wood. Above me arches the magnificent ceiling, while colorful light streams through the tall stained-glass windows. The silence of the space and the tangible sense of history move me deeply.

Ich stehe in der Schlosskirche Wittenberg und bewundere die kunstvoll geschnitzte Kanzel aus dunklem Holz. Über mir wölbt sich die prachtvolle Decke, buntes Licht fällt durch die hohen Kirchenfenster. Die Stille des Raumes und die Geschichte, die hier spürbar wird, berühren mich tief.

You know Glasgow gets a lot of rain when someone goes to the effort of fitting an umbrella holder and drip tray to the end of every pew in one of its churches! This is Carmunnock Parish Church on the city's southern edge. It was built in the 18th Century, but the interior is primarily 19th Century.

"The Interior of the Buurkerk at Utrecht," Pieter Jansz. Saenredam, 1644.

Saenredam (1595-1665) was a Dutch Golden Age painter whose specialty was church interiors, which, for some reason was a popular genre of painting at the time. It's something I never quite understood.

Saenredam is a little bold here as he exaggerates the height of the columns and windows to make the church look more grand and impressive.

A mystery exists about the boys in the lower right. One plays with a dog, the other is painting graffiti on the wall. What was he trying to signify there? Arguments exist that these were added to the painting after the artist's death; if so, who did it, and why?

From the National Gallery, London.
