Yesterday, Wednesday 23 March, My wife (SWMBO) and I made the DaVinci Code devotees' pilgrimage to Rosslyn Chapel, just south of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland.
The chapel is the most amazing, awesome place. Perhaps even more so because it is still a "working" church and regular services are still held there.
This made photography a little awkward because there are modern day artefacts all over. Space heaters, lights, microphones, wiring are in abundant evidence and great care is necessary not to include them in the shot.
I have tried to capture some slightly different angles from the norm because cookie cutter images of Rosslyn Chapel are easily available either in books or the web.

I hope these images are of particular interest to my American friends on this forum who have read the DaVinci Code but have been unable to visit Rosslyn to see the wondrous place for themselves.
