Lunchtime Photo

This is the stained glass window in the Bayeux Cathedral. We were in Bayeux to see the famous Bayeux tapestry, which is more than 200 feet long and displayed in a ver-r-r-y long case. When we were done, I hopped over to the cathedral to look around, and then barely made it back to the tour bus in time to see the rest of Normandy.

    Magnificent! I'm glad you didn't decide to go all "arty" and make this a b&w, or worse, so dimly lit it might just as well have been!

    And, speaking of the Bayeux Tapestry, for each season of Game of Thrones, a section was added, summarizing the season, to its own "tapestry", in the medieval style. The thing can be seen, I think, in Ireland.

    There's a similar window in Procter Hall, at Princeton University's Graduate College: https://college.holycross.edu/RaguinStainedGlassInAmerica/Gothic/images/GR31.WilletProctor%20Hall1.jpg

    We used to eat our meals in this huge hall, with the stained glass window at one end, a gigantic pipe organ at the other, and hand-carved wood panels along the walls in between: https://paw.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/styles/feature_image/public/images/content/LIVE.FinalScene_1.jpg?itok=SAe4iR04
