This is a really beautiful church. I hate the lines/security to get in but it is really amazing. You got wonderful pictures, ours did not turn out half as great as yours!
I agree the security was a pain but the line seemed to move decently fast and the stained glass is too gorgeous to miss!
And thank you!! I love photography so sometimes my aim is more to get great pictures than to eat/see/shop/etc ;)
