Have you ever wondered what the inside of a church or cathedral spire looks like? No? Me neither, but I was fascinated to see this, the woodwork that supports Salisbury cathedral's spire that reaches 404 feet from the ground.

It's not pretty and it doesn't appear to be uniform, but it really is. At each level, the woodwork pattern is repeated a little smaller than the level below it.

Note the ladders way up above; maintenance workers need access right to the top. At some point up there it's too narrow to work, so there's a small door that allows the maintenance crew to reach the top from the outside!
