  1. Excellent composition! Two questions: 1) Do you think these chairs are ever all filled at one time? and 2) why don't they spring for some padded pews for the "faithful"?

  2. Aha! I thought they looked familiar, then I saw it was one of my favorite places. I don't think I ever took a photo of the chairs, or if I did, I don't think it came out. Nice, nice, nice!!! I like the piece of the column, too. That church is really special.

  3. Don't think I would enjoy sitting on those chairs for hours but they make a great photo.

    It reminds me. The author of a fine book about labyrinths as a spiritual tool writes of how she was shocked on her first visit to Chartres Cathedral to see the famous labyrinth simply covered with such chairs.

  4. In answer to your question I e-mailed you a photo of the answer.
