The photograph was taken on a recent visit to Leeds Parish Church. We can well recommend lunch in their coffee shop. Note that wheelchair access is via the west side.
Beautiful, photo and text. I have tagged you to do a meme, details can be found on my blog.
ReplyDelete..thanks for opening up the spectrum..and ur criticism..is forever welcome..
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of "all" filtering in here. Reminds me that color relies on light.
ReplyDeleteThe window is symbolic with your words. Beautiful shot and perspective! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I would love to see that in full sun. The whole meeting house must be awash in color. Your poem is very descriptive.
ReplyDeletethank you for your help with my poem. Of course, I have to look up "haiga". I purposefully put the last line last because of an ancient Japanese haiku I read this week which caused me to go "aahhhh, details first, overview last!"
But like I say, I have a lot to learn. I have to read that book I bought! Thank you again.
This is so simple and wonderful. Beautiful photo too. I love stained glass. Spectrum is such a good word.
ReplyDeleteI agree, stained glass windows show the epitome of sun driven color.
ReplyDeleteLovely response to the "color" prompt. Beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful haiku express all the beauty of the window.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly fine photo and haiku! Colorful, indeed...
ReplyDeleteI love stained glass, so I really like your photo and haiku. Color really does depend on light.
ReplyDeleteWhat I know about Haiku wouldn't fill one dot of a thimble, but I do know I really enjoyed your photo and Haiku!
ReplyDeleteA light tapestry!
ReplyDeleteThe haiku reminded me of the light being split by a prism.
What a brilliant inspiration for a ku. As always, your photo and poem are spot-on perfect.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful it must appear on a bright beautiful day
