Helpful Posts: My wife and I spend a cold but sunny day poking around the National Gallery of Canada, thanks to a couple of free passes we received during our last visit. We spent around four hours wandering around the galleries that we missed on our last visit, and right before we left, my wife wanted to have another look at the Rideau Chapel part of the gallery.
Last time I had my fixed focal length Nikkor f/3.5 24mm PC-E lens along and this time I was shooting with the Nikkor f/2.8 24-70mm lens, so I had a more flexible piece of glass on the camera. While she was sitting there enjoying the view and the music, I took a few shots of the chapel, concentrating on the beautifully done details of the ceiling and the tops of support columns that hold it up.

Beautiful place...I like the intricate decorative ceilings. In #1 there are purple streaks in some part of the photo -- are they lights perhaps coming from the stain glass windows? Just curious...

Fascinating. I had no idea this existed in Ottawa. The detail is intriguing and you did a good job portraying it.
Now for some close detail shots of the carved wood(?) in the first shot.

Exactly, stained glass it is. It doesn't look like it is likely the original though.
