...Are Yet Unborn

I didn't have paper to write down the phrase by Joseph Addison (1672-1719) that is located along the bottom of the dome’s entire perimeter: “Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.” So I took multiple shots around the circumference. It is in these multiple shots that I was able to capture the nice detail and color of the Tiffany dome.
