Canterbury Cathedral, United Kingdom

Another out of the country suggestion from my brother.  The link I added below goes to a page where you can click on "From Dawn To Dusk" and see time lapse photography of the cathedral at different times of the day.  Also, just searching "Canterbury Cathedral" then clicking on "Images" gives you a wonderful selection of photos.  Makes you want to visit doesn't it?

The oldest window:  The oldest window at Canterbury shows Adam delving. It dates to about 1176 AD and is the first in a series of ancestors of Christ that used to fill the clerestory of the quire. In the 18th century these early windows were moved to the West Window and to the South-West Window. Adam delving now lives in the centre of the bottom tier of the West Window. The panels that can be seen in the quire clerestory today are 19th century copies of the originals.  (This paragraph and photo were taken directly from the cathedrals web site where more information about the stained glass and restoration can be found.)
