I love photographing houses of worship.
I'm not a man of faith by any stretch of the imagination, but I've always been fascinated by the lengths man will go to demonstrate devotion to his chosen God.
This is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, Georgia:

As grand as some of these churches and cathedrals can be, sometime they are quite small and simple. This is St. Margaret's Chapel, at Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. At times I felt as though I'd hit my head on the ceiling (a tiny woman, Margaret was, you see):

Dan Brown, author of The DaVinci Code, referred to this as "the most mysterious and magical chapel on earth". This is Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, Scotland:
