@Lowell...@EG: it's a good sign for the studio.<br /><br />@Lowell: I can never get enough of stained glass.<br /><br />@Chieftess: thank you!<br /><br />@Linda: that seems to be the consensus.<br /><br />@Beth: I'd say so!<br /><br />@Jose: it really surprised me.<br /><br />@Jennifer: thank you!<br /><br />@Mariusz: I will have to photograph that church from a different angle. I'd been thinking of it that day, but the tower was a problem. And yes, that is the altar. Yes, I was surprised by the austerity of the interior of the church, compared to some other Catholic churches.<br /><br />@Whisk: that's definitely the impression!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-18141605923367002822014-06-17T20:37:29.019-04:002014-06-17T20:37:29.019-04:00The stained glass is amazing.The stained glass is amazing.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-90476264698357062532014-06-17T20:16:40.799-04:002014-06-17T20:16:40.799-04:00If this is the Catholic Church, the interior is li...If this is the Catholic Church, the interior is like a raw, harsh.
