Selfie at the Rose [Contest Pre Finalists February 2014]
Uploaded: February 03, 2014 03:34:26
While up on the scaffolded platform high in the vaulting of the cathedral's nave, I couldn't resist getting a capture of me in front of the west rose window. The window spans 25 feet 10 inches, and is quite a sight to behold, up close!

Awesome Chris! #10965187Chris Budny February 04, 2014
Thank you both -- I had an earlier version posted but then found a problem in it later, so I replaced it with this one. #10966155Carol Flisak February 04, 2014
Terrific image, Chris! Has to be something special up close and personal... #10966752Chris Budny February 05, 2014
Thanks, Carol! It is really something--up close, you see just how much handwork the artist puts into every piece of glass; there's glass paint applied on most of the 10,000 individual pieces, to further control the light and color to the artist's vision. #10967009Errick L. Cameron March 28, 2014
