This is so beautiful, Chris. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. I can't even imagine what it must be like to stand in this corridor, bathed in this bejeweled light. Should be a winner.

Thank you everyone! Though I feel some thanks should go to the architects & glass artists, too! :) In this aisle, in the fall & winter, it is nearly impossible to come away without a beautiful photograph. I think this one is the "better" of my 3 annual attempts, in a technical kind of way--the image quality, in terms of noise, color, detail, etc. is better than the Wilson's Tomb image captured on my old Sony. And the Wilson's Tomb image was much better than my first attempt (Light Lives Here) in 2005, which was far too washed out. However, I'm still undecided on whether I like the vertical comp of Wilson's Tomb, more than this horizontal comp... Something to ponder for next year's attempt! :)

I agree with what you said, Chris. I think this is the best, especially in overall image quality, of the three you've taken of this. I can really appreciate the challenges of photographing this after my own first attempt. Again, thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you, Melissa--you're absolutely right! The light that enters the building is spectacular, pretty much year-round, if the sun is out. It falls in different places all year, with this one aisle being the true stand-out, but only in fall/winter mornings. I'm happy to share ;)
