The altar of the cathedral in Lima, Peru (officially, Basílica Catedral Metropolitana de Lima y Primada del Perú).
This (third) Cathedral of Lima was built between 1602 and 1797 — the altar was made in 1799 by Matías Maestro. This image is an HDR stack of 3 photos made with an OM System OM-1 camera and M.Zuiko 8-25mm f/4.0 lens.

Foxy Friars
Floor tiles showing foxes dressed as pilgrims (with hats, walking sticks, and back packs) in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland.
This tile design is unique to Christ Church, but the tiles are not original to either the first church on the site (built around 1030), or to its 12th and 13th century rebuilds. Due to insufficient foundations, the cathedral roof collapsed in 1562 — shattering most of the medieval tiles, so what you see today are copies of the originals, installed in the 1870s.
