Seat of the Anglican Bishop of London and located on Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral was the tallest structure in this city from 1710 to 1963.  The fourth church to stand on this site, the structure was designed by Christoper Wren who supervised its construction after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The cathedral was completed in 1711, requiring thirty-five years of construction.  The dome is the second largest in the world. Those willing to climb its many steps to the Whispering Chamber can literally hear the whispers of others from across the dome’s diameter due to its perfect acoustics. During the Blitz in World War II, this magnificent edifice escaped destruction because of the vigilance and rapid response of an army of fire fighters, architects, and engineers who continuously stood watch and sprang into action when the building was hit by bombs. This amazing image was captured with a Hasselblad Super Wide medium format camera equipped with its Carl Zeiss 38mm f4.5 Biogon lens–one of the sharpest extreme wide-angle lenses in all of photography.
