dome    The Dome as Ornament
By 'Deyemi Akande, 2016 H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellow
Since the start of my tours, I have only had the opportunity to see cathedrals of the Gothic genre. So you can imagine my delight as I made my way to the Berlin Cathedral. Camera in hand without a care in the world, I had the mien of a kid going to a candy store. I must confess, more than anything I have come to see, the cathedral dome remains priority.
