Pipes anyone?

[Camino Chrissy]

I enjoy threads that have a themed topic of pictures, where members can join in with their personal favorites.
@David Tallan is in Salamanca and in looking through my own photos of its cathedral, I came across my own of its beautiful organ pipes. I am always enthralled in cathedrals when I look upward and see them in all their "glory". Interestingly, some larger cathedrals have more than just one.
Here are a few of mine and I'd enjoy seeing yours...

In order:
Salamanca, Segovia, Avila, Moissac, Cahors

Great thread Chris!
My picture is from last month in Santiago.



On my list is also a visit to the royal basilica of St - Maximin la Sainte-Baume. Built late 18th century and still has the original 2960 pipes.

Thanks, Sabine! They are all such incredible works of art and each one unique.

My first picture was taken in Roncesvalles. I find it very unique how they integrated the pipes into the arquitecture:



The next one is from Nuestra Señora del Manzano, the church as you enter Castrojeriz:



The last one was taken in Santiago Cathedral. I tried to position myself so that the pipes of the opposite prospect would be captured as well:

Thank you, @Yoyo! I love your additional commentary.

Thank you, Camino Chrissy. I've never paid much attention to the pipes, but now I think I will.

Also Santiago - we were fascinated by the horizontal pipes so one looking at them and one from below well as the view down the Cathedral. Taken in 2011

The church of Los Arcos ( C.frances), though only a parish church, has some pretty spectacular anthropomorphic organ pipes - with mouth, eyes, etc.

The organ pipes are one of the first things I notice in a church or cathedral.
These from the Cathedral in Santiago. I actually took the photo because of all the cherubs, who I hadn't noticed so much before the restoration. Now they look like they're jumping out from between the pipes like ants pouring out from cracks in a wall.
