Crossing 180


	Crossing 180 A 180-degree panorama from the center of the nave crossing at Washington National Cathedral, stitched from 10 three-exposure HDR's. It was a wonderful day to finally be back inside giving tours again in the newly-reopened cathedral; abundant strong, clear fall sunlight. The black netting below the ceiling remains as a precaution should any more bits of mortar (loosened by the quake) fall out of place. Chris Budny

This is a jewel, Chris. I just wish BP allowed larger uploads so I could examine all the rich detail. Well conceived and beautifully done. Welcome home :)

What a stunning panoramic view of the beautiful Cathedral, Chris! I'm glad it's open again, and that you are back in your familiar role as docent.

Thank you very much, Renee! It is an 83,000sf building, 510 feet long from end to end; using the wide-angle lens on this, the nave aisle (right in the center of the pano) looks even longer; it is probably about 300 feet from where I stood, to that distant rose window.
