Up in the sky over Ely Cathedral with my DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone in 4K .
It was a very windy day today for drone flying with extreme wind warnings on the controller as soon as it took off but I thought I would test my new drone out .
I am not a religious person but I found a spiritual awakening inside the cathedral very calm and reflective and peaceful.
If you haven't been here I would highly recommend a visit truly magnificent building .
Some interesting facts -
1. The history of Ely Cathedral dates back to 673 when Etheldreda, a Saxon Queen ,founded a monastery on the site.
2. Built on an island Ely's name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "Eilig" which means island of the eels.
3.Ely Cathedral was a prominent Benedictine Monastery and the second wealthiest in the country .It was closed by Henry VIII in 1540.
4.The West Tower is 215ft /66m high.
5. Often acknowledged as one of the wonders of the medieval world, the Cathedral's Octagon Tower represents a unique structure of medieval engineering(1342).The main structural posts weigh 17 tonnes each and are 63ft in length.
6.The breath taking 14th Century Lady Chapel is the largest of its kind of any UK Cathedral.
7. Ely Cathedral has been used as a location for several major film and TV productions including Elizabeth:The Golden Age ,Macbeth, The King's Speech and The Crown.
