Rosslyn Chapel, a study in shadow and light

[44Tili]

This is the best video on the theme Rosslyn Chapel! Thank you!

@44Tili , I am so glad you enjoyed it. It's one of the longer videos I have made as I wanted to use most of the photos I took. I was lucky enough to go there before the movie so I saw it in peace and quiet.

thank you for allowing us to see it thru your eyes...so nice that you shared! i am interested in plants, particularly, holly references in the chapel, both leaf or berry and where those references were placed...near what, on what, etc...would you mind if i asked you about such ethnobotanical anthropological insights?

[Gimmer3]

The volume of carving is so weighty honestly I can't tell you if I saw holly. I am fond of holly myself and love plants in art. I will try to look at my pictures again and see if it jogs my memory. The chapel is so ornamented it blows one away looking at all the details.

@Gimmer3 Yes. When I visited, I could not help but to think how the masons work depicted incredible things that these people's eyes have seen. A very special, powerful, and spiritual place...

[Gimmer3]

That is a great way to put it!

[swebbo]

so many grotesques! are there really pictures of corn cobs?

[1toscany]

@swebbo Yes, there are real carvings, not pictures, of North American maze plants (corn) carved into the walls of a portion of the chapel.

Gosh this is a great video! So much symbolism there, I just cannot tell you. This has been a 'huge' help to me because I don't have the funds to travel. Thank you!!

[Gimmer3]

I am very happy you like it. I used as many photos as I could and found the longest piece of organ music in my collection so I could show allot of details.
