Dome with a View
I stopped halfway across the Millennium Bridge and pointed the camera north, which turned out to be the same thing roughly nine thousand other people were doing that afternoon. I looked behind me and there was another group of tour...

Dome with a View
I stopped halfway across the Millennium Bridge and pointed the camera north, which turned out to be the same thing roughly nine thousand other people were doing that afternoon. I looked behind me and there was another group of tourists with their phones raised taking much the same photo I have here. St. Paul's Cathedral was in the background but I was interested in the people, contrasting the ever-present building with the steady stream of humanity flowing past me. -

From @joannechocolat
Elizabeth, Lady Wilbraham (1632 – 1705) was a member of the English aristocracy and a major architectural patron.
Unable to become an #architect because she was a woman, she studied in #Italy and tutored Christopher Wren, who may have been given credit for hundreds of her designs.
. . ...
(For those of you who may not know, this series originally began as # Neglected Women & was to highlight women whose achievements have been usurped by men.
It became # CelebratingWomen', which is much more positive, and then became more about remarkable women in general - including many now who are still alive - but it is still interesting to see this calling back to the original idea, and to realise how much of the *full* identity of woman has been lost.)
This ainting of Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham is by Sir Peter Lely, 17th century. (Peter Lely, 1618-1680)

If you ask someone from the UK for the name of an architect there’s a good chance they’ll say Christopher Wren. Best known for St. Paul’s Cathedral, and rebuilding after the 1666 Fire of London, designing over 50 churches.
Taken from London, ed. Charles Knight; Tufts has it in TEI XML but no download link i could find. Hah! I have the physical book to scan!

1/5 #churchphotography
This is a 180 degree #vertorama of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe - a #ChristopherWren church in the city. It's so-called because its first structure was by the Royal Wardrobe - where in 1361 Edward III moved his store for clothes and armour.That burned down in the Great Fire, Christopher #Wren built the replacement. That was bombed, but restored and reopened in 1961.
I used a DIY 360 degree panorama mount on a tripod to hold an #Olympus EM1iii with a Laowa 7.5mm F2.

Sir Christopher Wren did not train as an architect as a person would now - the profession as we understand it today did not exist. Rather, it was a branch of applied mathematics, and something well educated gentlemen might take up as a hobby. When he first went to university in Oxford, Wren was studying Latin and Philosophy.

1/5 City churches This week I'm sharing a set of snaps from a walk round some City of London churches. This is St Stephen Walbrook.
It is one of the many City churches designed by #ChristopherWren after the Great Fire of #London in 1666.
I like a good #dome.
four-thirds 7-14mm f4, mmf3 adapter, Olympus EM1iii for those who care.

Died #OTD 1723, Sir Christopher Wren. The architect is famed for his rebuilding of St Paul's Cathedral, and was actually responsible for designing the galleries in the 18th c. Commons chamber. But #DYK that Wren was also an MP? Read his bio here: http://ow.ly/rYOr50DwQe4
