<p>Arundel's Beautiful Gothic Catholic Cathedral viewed from the gardens of Arundel Castle in West Sussex England. This photo was taken with my Nikon camera. <br />
 <br />
The Cathedral Church of Our Lady and St Philip Howard is located in Arundel, West Sussex, England. Dedicated in 1873 as the Catholic parish church of Arundel, it became a cathedral at the foundation of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in 1965. It now serves as the seat of the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton<br />
.<br />
The cathedral's location, construction, design, and dedication owe much to the Howard family, who, as Dukes of Norfolk and Earls of Arundel are the most prominent English Catholic family, and rank first (below the royal family) in the Peerage of England. Since 1102 the seat of the Howards' ancestors has been Arundel Castle.<br />
<br />
In 1664, Catholic worship was suppressed in England by the Conventicle Act, and all churches and cathedrals in England were transferred to the Church of England. With the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, the foundation of Catholic parishes became lawful once again.<br />
<br />
In 1868, Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, commissioned the architect Joseph Hansom to design a new Catholic sanctuary as a suitable counterpart to Arundel Castle. The architectural style of the cathedral is French Gothic, a style that would have been popular between 1300 and 1400—the period in which the Howards rose to national prominence in England. The building is Grade I listed and is regarded as one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the French Gothic style in the country.<br />
<br />
The church was originally dedicated to Our Lady and St Philip Neri, but in 1971, following the canonisation of Philip Howard, 1st Earl of Arundel, and the reburial of his relics in the cathedral, the dedication was changed to Our Lady and St Philip Howard.</p>

<p>Das Panorama zeigt eine malerische Landschaft am Ufer des Titicacasees in Bolivien. Im Vordergrund erstrecken sich sonnenbeschienene, terrassierte Felder und grüne Wiesen, durchsetzt mit einzelnen Eukalyptusbäumen und kleinen, einfachen Gebäuden mit roten Dächern. Ein Holzzaun ist in einem der Felder zu sehen. Im linken Mittelgrund liegt die Stadt Copacabana, deren rote Dächer sich dicht an einen Hügel schmiegen, der in den See ragt. Eine Strasse schlängelt sich durch die Stadt. Der tiefblaue Titicacasee dominiert den Hintergrund, mit weiteren Landmassen oder Inseln am Horizont. Der Himmel ist strahlend blau mit einigen weissen Wolken. Die Szene vermittelt eine ruhige, ländliche Atmosphäre am höchsten schiffbaren See der Welt.</p>

<p>Das Foto zeigt eine malerische Szene der Isla del Sol im Titicacasee, Bolivien. Im Vordergrund erstreckt sich das tiefblaue Wasser des Sees. Am Ufer sind mehrere Boote und Yachten an kleinen Stegen und Anlegestellen vertäut. Dahinter erhebt sich ein steiler Hügel, der mit zahlreichen terrassierten Feldern bedeckt ist, die typisch für die Andenregion sind. Entlang des Hügels sind viele bunte Gebäude, darunter Wohnhäuser und Hostels, wie das 'Hostal Puerto Punta', in die Landschaft integriert. Die Architektur ist einfach, aber charmant, mit warmen Farbtönen wie Orange, Gelb und Braun. Einige Bäume sind am linken Hang sichtbar. Der Himmel ist klar und strahlend blau, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Die Szene vermittelt einen Eindruck von der einzigartigen Kultur und Natur der Region.</p>
