:I like Gothic architecture. I have actually been to Chartres Cathedral, and the majority of the walls are intricate and colorful stained glass. The ceilings are high and the interior is colorful and bright. I find it interesting that the builders of these great churches were attempting to reach or emulate [[Heaven]]- at first it sounds like the evil [[Tower of Babel]]. However, the difference is that the builders of the Tower wanted to actually be like [[God]] by invading the heavens, while the builders of the Cathedral wanted to be close to God.
