If the circle is the most perfect natural form - a line without beginning or end, symbolizing the universe - then the dome is the most perfect architectural shape: the circle executed in three dimensions. In this book photographer Eric Oxendorf shows us a new way of looking at these ancient forms. His unique series of 50 photographs offers a dramatic perspective on the dome: looking straight up to the oculus, capturing the intricate details in a way that no ordinary visitor to these places sees them.
