Basilica St. Louis

What if you love art and photography and you go to a Cathedral that is absolutely filled with beautiful mosaics made of more than 41 million tiny pieces? Mosaics done by Tiffany and Co and Gorham? How many pictures do you take? Lots. These aren't all of them, but they give you a feel for the place. If I went again I would be sure to get a free tour, (but donationas are accepted.) Click on the pictures for a better look. Wow!
