Joan Carroll
what a great image I love how you have some blue reflected off the sculpture. v
Cheri Randolph replied:
Joan, thanks for your comment & vote. What's so interesting about the placement of the tomb, is that it is angled to take advantage of the sun coming through the window. This was in Winter, when only a little light comes through. I'm hoping to go back in Summer when there is more reflection on the angel.

Eric, thanks. She's one of my favorites.

Gun, I am complimented that you noticed this one. I've heard a story that this tomb is positioned so that the maximum disbursement of blue light is noticed at the point of the Summer Equinox. I plan to go back in the next few days to try and get another shot. We'll see if it is true. Thanks for your comment & f/v!
