I remember in college, our History of Arts professor told us that during the middle ages, Gothic architecture flourished because the Church wanted the people to look up at spires and stained glass windows and thus, encourage them to pray. A walk around Edinburgh will bring you to many Gothic buildings, monuments and churches. Before the day ended, I was able to snap a photo of the imposing Scott Monument, a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. A moment captured in photograph, the monument's silhouette and the setting sun behind, a tribute to man's greatness and God's glory.
