1. My dear Adsos Letter!

This is beautiful...

It's really difficult to get good pictures in such a low-light environment, esp. since they prefer you not use a tripod, and flash won't help...

I hold my breath and squeeze the shutter release very gently. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...

You did really well here!

Nice composition, and the view across the glossy floor is wonderful...

Thank you!

:hi:

6. Thanks Peggy! Medeival Bern is a magical place, as you know.

2. What a great pic Adso!!!

Did you use a tripod?

[Adsos Letter]

7. Thanks MissHC! No, no tripod; they don't allow 'em in there.

:loveya:

4. Very , very nice. I love gothic cathedrals

I took some photos of Canterbury Cathedral earlier this year so I know how hard it is. The glass is so beautiful.

9. Thanks, barb 162!

There is so much fine art built into the architecture of these places! Post some of your photos!

5. Great pic!

Love the floor reflections! Strange I've never been in there; usually I always sneak into churches and have a look around. :hi:

10. Thanks Wesley! (if I can call you that)...

You were probably distracted on your visits to Bern by the clouds of teargas, the embattled lines advancing and retreating in the streets... :D :hi:

11. Hey, hey, repost. But with this one you are down to the floor,

cathedral and window. Very nice.
I do have to say, though, that for me, looking at that window and all, I think that clearly proves that there is no god.
