She Rests at Last Beneath Starry Skies *

Rosslyn, Scotland

This portion of the Chapel's ceiling, displaying a field of stars, is described in one of the final chapters of the book, and appears very briefly in one of the final scenes of the movie that was based on the book.

Wonderful picture Charlie - love the lighting! When I was in London last year I went to "Temple Church", also featured in "The Da Vinci Code", to take pictures of the effigies on the floor but the church was closed. :-( I hope the next time I go to the UK I get another opportunity to go there and also get up to see Rosslyn Chapel.

Indeed, amazing control of the light... super perspective/composition and fits in so very well with the mood of the book. I definitely did not expect to find Rosslyn actually featuring here for real! Wow! Thanks for the post. Regards jnconradie

Correct answer! We visited our daughter and her husband in Newcastle (3 hours North of London) last September. The trip included a few days in Edinburgh. From there, we took the bus to Rosslyn one afternoon, to visit this chapel. There was a nominal admission fee that included a guided tour. I highly recommend the experience to anyone traveling in that part of the world.

The Da Vinci Code? I'm working from memory since I no longer have the book to check the reference. Cool shot, I like the oblique light and warm tone. -Michael
