Can you imagine sitting in the pews, looking up, and listening to a sermon being delivered from here? This is the upstairs chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, built in the 1200s by King Louis IX (Saint Louis). The commoners were relegated to the downstairs chapel (now a gift shop), while royalty took in religion from this room upstairs. Ile de Citi, Paris, France; September, 2015.

Wow, this has such impact...all that stained glass, the colors, and the sheer heighth of all of it...I remember as a kid feeling very small looking way up at the preacher in the pulpit, the huge pipe organ, and the high ceilings...it must be amazing to see this in person...excellent capture.

Well it does look very rich and regal to me, Ted; probably exactly the appearance they were looking for. That's one heckuva lot of stained glass, and every one is a different scene. I've been looking closely across all of the ones we can see here and haven't found any duplicates.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
