Amsterdam - The Nieuwe Kerk Ceiling

So today was a cultural tour of some of the fantastic buildings that Amsterdam has hidden away amongst the canals.

The Nieuwe Kerk is not the biggest church in Amsterdam (that is the Westerkerk) but it is probably the most spectacular! From the immensely impressive organ, to the fantastic carving and stone masonry it is a fabulous building! I is also the main venue for Dutch Royal weddings, inaugurations and funerals.

So with the my traditional approach to the roofs and ceilings of Leeds I thought that the ceiling of the Nieuwe Kerk was not getting the attention it deserved...so here it is.

Also, note to self, whilst the Dutch are a very relaxed people, their reaction to someone lying on the floor, looking up at the ceiling is one of concern!
