I walk past cathedrals surprisingly often. There's one a block from our place in Montreal, and there's St. John the Divine just a few blocks from my parents' place on Riverside Drive in New York.
I keep thinking how all that stained glass sort of goes partly to waste, because you can only see it from the inside, and only by day. Imagine how beautiful it would be if cathedrals lit their stained glass from the inside. It wouldn't take more than one floodlight per window, and it would be a sort of beacon for people who generally stay out of cathedrals, to remind everyone that the cathedral is there, in case it has become part of the background.
Imagine Notre Dame at night, lit from within...
