Late Night Cathedral Ambulatory with Relic Chapels

Stark fluorescent tubes mounted high cast a cool, uniform glow across the stone floor of the cathedral ambulatory. The light reveals the curve of the walkway as it winds past a series of radiating chapels. Inside each small chamber, a glass case holds a relic, its surface reflecting the harsh overhead beams. Deep shadows pool in the corners where the artificial light fails to reach, against the bright central path. The walls appear aged and textured under the clinical illumination. A low angle view emphasizes the height of the arches and the receding line of the chapels. at the edge is the sharp, rectangular reflection of a light fixture on the polished stone surface near the base of a pillar.
