St. John the Baptist's Cathedral Day 10 of our Cosmos tour, October 9, 2012 Lyon France. We did short tour around the city then made our way to Paris.
Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon (English: St. John the Baptist's Cathedral in Lyon) is a Roman Catholic cathedral near the Saone river in Lyon, France, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Lyon.
It was founded by Saint Pothinus and Saint Irenaeus, the first two bishops of Lyon. The cathedral is also known as a "Primatiale" because in 1079 the Pope granted to the archbishop of Lyon the title of Primate of All the Gauls with the legal supremacy over the principal archbishops of the kingdom. It is located in the heart of the old town (Vieux Lyon), less than five minutes away from the banks of the Saone river, with a large plaza in front of it and a metro stop nearby providing easy access to and from the city center.
Begun in the twelfth century on the ruins of a 6th-century church, it was completed in 1476. The building is 80 metres long (internally), 20 metres wide at the choir, and 32.5 metres high in the nave. The cathedral organ was built by Daublaine and Callinet and was installed in 1841 at the end of the apse and had 15 stops. It was rebuilt in 1875 by Merklin-Schütze and given 30 stops, three keyboards of 54 notes and pedals for 27.
Noteworthy are the two crosses to right and left of the altar, preserved since the council of 1274 as a symbol of the union of the churches, and the Bourbon chapel, built by the Cardinal de Bourbon and his brother Pierre de Bourbon, son-in-law of Louis XI, a masterpiece of 15th century sculpture.
The cathedral also has the Lyon Astronomical Clock from the 14th century.
Until the construction of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, it was the pre-eminent church in Lyon.

The south wall of the south transept of Amiens Cathedral has five open arches behind which is a triforium passage. Behind them a series of windows is stretching right across the wall. Above this is another series of windows and above this again the huge rose representing one of the four elements – fire. It all looks like it were one sheet of glass. HDR

The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo (Spanish: Catedral Primada Santa MarÃa de Toledo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Toledo, Spain, see of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain. It was begun in 1226 under the rule of Ferdinand III and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when, in 1493, the vaults of the central nave were finished during the time of the Catholic Monarchs. It was modeled after the Bourges Cathedral, although its five naves plan is a consequence of the constructors' intention to cover all of the sacred space of the former city mosque with the cathedral, and of the former sahn with the cloister. It also combines some characteristics of the Mudéjar style, mainly in the cloister, and with the presence of multifoiled arches in the triforium. The spectacular incorporation of light and the structural achievements of the ambulatory vaults are some of its more remarkable aspects. It is built with white limestone from the quarries of Olihuelas, near Toledo.
It is popularly known as Dives Toletana (meaning The Rich Toledan in Latin).

St. Peter's Chapel at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was built in 1901 under the guidance of Chaplin McAllister and is the oldest chapel in the military. The organ was installed in 1929 and updated again in 1966.
The twenty-nine stained glass windows were installed over a thirty year period to honor individuals and groups. Twenty-five of the windows are known to be from the Tiffany Studios, one by the Cummings Studios, and this triptych from Ingerson and Glaser of San Francisco.
The chapel is maintained by the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation
The 1953 Western classic film Shane was largely filmed in the Jackson Hole Valley. Most of the set locations for the film have long ago been dismantled including the town that was built on the Antelope Flats and several other cabins. This cabin and two other smaller structures just next to it are the only set from the movie that remain. The three structures were actually real cabins of early Jackson Hole settlers that were repurposed for the movie. In a major plot of the movie, a powerful rancher was trying to force the homesteaders out of their homes to secure control of the valley for his ranch. This cabin was the cabin of homesteader Ernie Wright in the movie. From the window on the western wall of the cabin, you get a nice view of the mountains.
