Studied most of my life Art History. When you do that you seek out to see. To feel what it feels like to stand in front of a Michelangelo, or in this case, to go up and down inside a centuries old Gothic Cathedral. Glasgow offered me not one, but three Gothic escapes: The University of Glasgow, Glasgow Cathedral and Glasgow Necropolis. These 3 sites I highly recommend to any seeker of mystery, black history and adorer of everything bleak and gloomy.
Visit the University on a sunny day, Summer time, right before sunset. The majestic building set against the contre-jour light makes an impression. The Cathedral and Necropolis deserve a rainy day, even cloudy, to make the Gothic theme come to life. The gloom and doom present in this particular style is what I crave for. The intricacies of its motifs is what I admire.
As always,
