I tend to dislike churches/cathedrals in general but this is a really nice picture. It's interesting how most of the churches in other places will let you take pictures of them inside, that wouldn't be the case in Brazil (and I don't quite know the exact reason for that).

Nor do I. So many cathedrals and churches have magnificent art and wish to share it.
