Regensburg, Germany: Cathedral of St. Peter

It is tough to know how to photograph the great cathedrals of Europe, at least without any special arrangements.

Do you go for a fairly close shot of the entrance area? Or do you step back and try to get the towers? Both are impressive, but you can't do both easily in the same photo. The former won out in this case.

It literally took about 250 years to build this structure, going from 1273 to 1538. It is considered a great example of Gothic architecture.

St. Peter's is the seat of the Catholic diocese of Regensburg, and a few relatively important bishops in the region's history are buried here.
