Da Vinci - just a little bit! [Contest Finalists April 2006]
Uploaded: April 02, 2006 00:18:12
Taken 30th March about 7.30pm, this is the West door of Rosslyn Chapel, which lies 8 miles south of Edinburgh, only a few miles from my home. Was a very historic and well known chapel before the Da Vinci code, but is world famous now.

Superb capture, Lynne!! Love this...and loved the book too!Nadya Johnson April 02, 2006
Outstanding, Lynne! What a great shot! The light here is magical! As for the Da Vinci Code, I read the book a few years ago when it was still obscure and thought, "Hmm. This is going to cause a real stir!" Guess it did? Wonderful photo! #2599168Lynne Morris April 02, 2006
Thanks Paul, Susan, R&C, Jenny and Nadya for your kind words of encouragement.Rosslyn chapel is a beautiful old building that goes back to 1400. At the moment has a huge covering as the stone needs to dry out as milldew was growing on the inside of the roof. The covering has been on for a few years and I think will be on for a few yet, which is a real shame from a photographers point of view, but great that the building is being preserved.
Just for information - the chapel is still used and holds 2 services every Sunday. #2599181

When I saw your gallery, the first time, I thought that you are favored because you live in a place where photography opportunities are abundant. But, this summer, I went in Scotland and I visited the Rosslyn Chapel. I took severl picture, but none like this. The difference between an artist and a simple photographer. #5300327Jennifer A. Lambert June 19, 2008
This is GORGEOUS !!! You might want to save this too....the Catholic Church has refused to allow Tom Hanks to film the second film Angels and Demons ( The second part of the divinchi code ) in thier churchs. I read all about it the other day.Lynne Morris June 19, 2008
