Today's ArchiPic is the Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury England. It was built in 1258 and represents Early English architecture. This church contains the world's oldest working clock, dating back to AD 1386 and is simply one of my favorite cathedrals. It has a very ornate structure with many spires and designs that are evident with the Gothic architectural style and has been depicted in many works of art--most notably by John Constable. (The first picture above is one of his most famous paintings.)

*I'll be finishing up that YouTube video I talked about very soon, possibly by this weekend. I'll post it on this blog once it has been uploaded. I will also be posting more frequently for the time-being.
