Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Photography of the Day - Details
More architectural details (did I tell you I love them?), this time from the Rosslyn Chapel, in Roslin, Scotland.
This chapel gained popularity after being used by writer Dan Brown in his bestseller book – and then a movie – The Da Vinci Code.

Rosslyn chapel - in tapestry
Apparently the first version of this panel was stolen, and had to be remade; I'm not surprised, it is one of the most beautiful panels.

Rosslyn Chapel & Melrose Abbey
Rosslyn Chapel & Melrose Abbey
I don’t remember much about Dan Brown’s potboiler The DaVinci Code, other than it posited that Mary Magdalene absconded to France pregnant with Jesus’s baby, and that was some kind of big reveal. Not for me, of course, who had been studying women’s spiritual writing, and reading books like Merlin Stone’s When God Was a Woman or Charlene Spretnak’s The Politics of Women’s Spirituality while I was…

I have to admit, I get a certain thrill (okay, I totally geek out) when I get to visit a place that I've seen on the big screen — Rosslyn Chapel did not disappoint.
Made famous in the film version of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, this ornately carved church overlooks the beautiful rolling hills of rural Scotland at the edge of the town of Roslin.

Went out to visit Rosslyn Chapel today, Just Because. They ask that you don't take photos inside, so I don't have any of the Apprentice Pillar or the other interior works, but there are still plenty of intriguing little grotesques and gargoyles to pick out on the exterior.
There are a bunch of conspiracy theories about the chapel, relating to Knights Templar, Freemasons and whatnot. Evidence suggests that these are... mostly bullshit! But The Da Vinci Code in particular resulted in a massive uptick in visitor numbers to the chapel and accordingly much more money from ticket sales to put towards the chapel's upkeep, so the owners aren't complaining too much.
Actually, my step-grandfather is in the Freemasons. I'd be surprised if he's ever carved a stone in his life.

Happy Re-hiatus!
I do this a lot, I know. I’m sorry.
I’ve not been present on here, my lovely safe writing space, for so long, though I’ve been lurking around the internet doing other things for the last year-and-a-half.
So, what’s new?
Well, for a quick overview, I was finally able to go to Rosslyn chapel for real, I found a beautiful squishy little hamster called Waffles (she owns me now), and The Perpetual…

Rosslyn Chapel
We did a day trip out to a couple of sites south of Edinburgh today. I picked up the car first thing in the morning and then started out.
It is the first time in a few years that I've driven a stick or on the left side of the road. It was also raining, rush hour, and in a major construction zone. So the drive started out rough. That was followed by missing a turn and Google Maps sending all over central Edinburgh as punishment. When we finally got out of town, the rain let up, and I got used to the gear shift on the left, and the feel of the clutch, it was a huge relief.
With the rain we decided to modify our plan and start at Rosslyn Chapel. It's a 15th century chapel that was intended to be part of a much larger church. While it's not large, It's extravagantly carved, everywhere. It was featured in the Da Vinci Code which has driven up the number of visitors tremendously, so it can be very crowded. So much so that they have prohibited photographs inside. The outside is also heavily carved.
There are so many figures carved in the stone that it lends itself to all sort of wild theories as to what they mean, which also drive up the crowds.
When we arrived there was a guide giving an introduction lecture to a packed house inside that went on and on. As we were standing just outside the door in the rain another guide came out and said, "I'm going to start screaming soon" clearing meaning the length of the lecture. Apparently when the house is full and no one can get in, you are supposed to make it reasonably concise. But eventually he finished and we were able to get inside.

Terrifying ghost monks haunts Rosslyn Chapel!
Terrifying ghost monks haunts Rosslyn Chapel!
Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, Scotland, has been owned by the St. Clair or Sinclair family since 1446 and is shrouded in legends and mystery.
The Knights Templar’s pursuit of the Holy Grail, which was the chalice Christ drank from at the Last Supper, is the subject of the most well-known legend associated with Rosslyn.
This chalice is purportedly concealed within the church, according to one…
