Well thank you all!! This was an outstanding exhibit, with beautiful baroque music playing softly in the BG. I really wish I had a lens wide enough to capture all the icons (there were 4 down each side and one on the wall behind me, if I remember correctly). Esther... I patiently waited while 4 different school groups came in, sat down, had a lesson from their teacher (in spanish unfortunately so I didn't understand). I shot in between these groups! #7121088

What a wonderful, image, Joan. Well-deserving of the EP for sure. I'd like to sit in there as well and soak up the reverence and glory that is in that room. #7121703
