Photo Essay: Roskilde, Dome Church

Wandering through time and lifetimes and centuries of well-preserved dedication. Over worn cobbled streets on our modern pilgrimage. Using a telephoto to expand the little details beyond guard ropes... Hidden details on ceilings where frescoes and buttress connect, fist-sized golden harpy beneath a purple velvet coffin shroud, ivory cherubim, hand-hewn medieval choir stalls, gilded feet of the holy water font...  Gathering natural filtered light and re-building faded contrast from cloistered spaces. A different world bridging the temporal and the dreamed for eternal.
