Dr James Alexander Cameron @drjacameron.stainedglassattitudes.com · 29/11/2024So France has used latex poultice to remove all the patina from one of their cathedrals to make it look like it's made out of milky bars. oh well. at least they've changed the bulbs from ugly gas-discharge to LEDs. 3242
Dr James Alexander Cameron @drjacameron.stainedglassattitudes.com · 29/11/2024A very brief bit where they turn the lights off which is nice but then WOOSH cant trust a Gothic cathedral to light itself, with its windows, can we. well maybe we can't with Paris. all that rayonnant fenestration rather hastily retrofitted into one of the gloomiest elevations in the Île-de-France 260
Elizabeth Tingle @profliztingle.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The medieval canons would have loved the shiny newness. Then covered it with paint, paintings, memorials etc. Descriptions of the interior from 17 & 18 C make it sound like an art junk shop. I’m hoping to go see it in the next few weeks The LED lighting is an improvement- it was always so gloomy 020
