Or a couple hundred. These were in the cathedral at Sées up in Normandy, again back in the summer of 2006. The cathedral is an impressive sight, inside and out, and worth a stop if you're in the area.
I'm glad I'm not the one who has to line them all up. Sées, June 2006.
I was hopeful that the recent winds we've had would help to dry things out. But, no. It's still soggy outside. Not much fun for waking with Tasha and not very practical for getting yard work done. I know I could just buck up, bundle up, and get something done out there, but I'm not motivated. I am, however, looking forward to our Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. Priorities.
And after the chairs are all aligned perfectly, people come along and shift them. THAT would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteI’m the same way!

Yes! What's wrong with people who can't see how much work was put into keeping those chairs in line??? (hee-hee-hee)
DeleteThe size of the chairs really emphasizes the size of the column.

Good point, BettyAnn! Thanks for pointing that out. My father was always wanting me to make sure I had an item in the photo to identify size for the viewer when there was a large item like that column!
DeleteThat's a lot of chairs!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is delightful
ReplyDeletemitch, that's probably why pews caught on. ;)
ReplyDeletebettyann, yes, those columns are massive!
jean, I didn't count them... ;)
john, I'm glad you like it!
If you look closely at the chairs' legs, it looks like they're connected in groups of four.
ReplyDeleteMake that groups of three.
DeleteWell, that helps. I’ve often seen that in churches in France but didn’t notice it in your photo. Thanks for pointing it out.
