The main rule at Thorncrown Chapel is that you have to stay seated while you’re taking photos. On the one hand, I appreciated that rule, because that kept people out of the image (and you know how I am about people!). But on the other hand, it made it a little challenging to get photos that didn’t end up looking like every other photo ever made of the place.

So, here’s a tip if you go: put the camera on the ledge by the window and shoot straight up. Not only will you get this vertiginous view, but you can get an interesting reflection thrown in!
