Golden dome

This was one of the domes in the basilica that we missed on our first visit, situated in a small side chapel (so not very high up).

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

*****

We decided to pay another visit to the basilica because we felt we hadn’t seen it all when we met Long and his wife Katherine there in April. It’s really a magnificent church that took almost 100 years to complete and draws visitors from all over the world. I’ll be posting pictures mainly of features we missed the first time around.

Nice capture of this beautiful dome... I can't imagine doing all that detailed artwork...
