Original – The lady chapel in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England.
Reason
It's a beautiful section of Salisbury Cathedral, which in itself is quite an attractive cathedral in general. Although the blues of the stained glass are quite vivid in the image, they were even more impressive in person, and really contrasted nicely against the peachy hues of the chapel walls and ceiling. Pictured below the stained glass is an installation by artist Nicholas Pope called "The Apostles Speaking in Tongues Lit By Their Own Lamps".

    • I'm not sure what it's made of, but it's painted over (if you look carefully, you can see that the 'brickwork' pattern is painted on, but I'm not sure if it follows the actual brickwork or is 'faked' for artistic effect). I don't think the colour balance is off, the cloth on top of the stand in the middle is pretty close to white. There are incandescent lights pointed up at the ceiling in this image which would give it a warmer hue. On a brighter day with cooler natural lighting from outside and no interior lighting, it would look more like this I suppose. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:39, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • If its paint rather than bare stone that would explain the colour.©Geni (talk) 19:52, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Agree that it's clearly paint (notice how clean the crack at the top edge is?). Looks good to me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:18, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – I think the contrast between the blue windows and the yellow-peach of the rest of the chapel is gorgeous. I think it's interesting that while the windows are mainly blue with a little red, the reflection on the floor is purple. CorinneSD (talk) 21:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Quite a unique image and I am absolutely enraptured with the blue of the stained glass. Agree the blue contrasts pleasingly with the peachy hues. A keeper. Fylbecatulous talk 00:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
