Patterns In Stone - Patterns In Light

I was in Winchester Cathedral on a moist, foggy, grey day. Early evening drew in heralding a sudden burst of watery sunlight from the Westering sun. Gorgeous purple and orange light beams were cast aloft. Patterns of the immortal stone and the ephemeral light combined in a glory of colour that lasted a fleeting moment... then faded to a memory.

@digitalrn - not sure what you refer to when you say the "old song".

[Rick Schies]

@netkonnexion Here is a site to listen to it. And I believe it is now that I looked it up. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=First+Recording+Winchester+Cathedral+Song&mid=E62C400D624FA503C211E62C400D624FA503C211&view=detail&FORM=VIRE8
