St Martin’s in the Fields, London
Situated in St Martin’s Lane, WC2, the entrance to the church faces Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.
The year 1222 is the earliest reference to the church, however there is not much known about it until 1542, when, in the reign of Henry VIII, he had it rebuilt. Apparently to house plague victims and prevent them from passing through the Palace of Westminster.
In 1606 the building was enlarged, being built over the old graveyard. This was in the reign of James I, at the same time the old part of the church was fully renovated. Sometime later in the 1600’s galleries were added to increase the size of the congregation. Nell Gwynne was buried there.
During the eighteenth century funds were allocated to build new church, the architect James Gibbs was chosen to do the work. Between 1722, when the foundation stone was laid and 1724, the work was completed. The spire rises to 59mtrs (192 ft in old money). Although not popular in design at the time, this template has been used on many notable churches over the world. St Andrews church in Glasgow, and St Andrews church in Chennai, India.
The church is now famous for its work with the homeless and youth. It also has many concerts as well as jazz sessions in the Crypt.
The east window was designed by Shirazeh Houshiary and Pip Horne, it was manufactured by Michael Mayer of Munich. It reminds me of Edmund Munch’s ‘The Scream’. Although, that is not, the original intention. The Jacob’s Ladder story, being the influence.

Through the mist stained grasslands of Budhangiri, it is simply beautiful to capture this kind of a Portrait!

I love reflections.
Colors are better in reflections. Shapes are better in reflections. Reflections are examples of things appeared to be larger than life.
This is the reflection I saw at Minoru Chapel this morning.
Have a good day! Sun comes back on Sunday in Vancouver! :o)
it was 20:57 at the waiting room of airport, i shot two photos out of window, and surprisingly even with strong reflections, a panorama could still be stitched !

Something different from my usual nature photography, this image is looking into a window of a storage building on the property of the Terrell's Island Preserve.

The Würzburg Residence was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981.
The residence is an example of the collaboration of artists from the most culturally important countries in Europe, a synthesis of the European Baroque.
Severely damaged in the Second World War, the Würzburg Residence was the subject of careful and often exemplary restoration measures from 1945 onwards.

A little free library built as a wood model of the Catholic churc that sponsors it. Nice woodwork. Zooming on the photo reveals "God Bless You" stickers at the bottom book spines.

Hawa Mahal ("Palace of Winds" or "Palace of the Breeze") is a palace in Jaipur, India and was built in 1799. The palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the zenana, or women's chambers. The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen, since they had to obey the strict rules of "purdah", which forbade them from appearing in public without face coverings.
Hawa Mahal (»Palast der Winde«) ist ein architektonisch außergewöhnliches Bauwerk in der Altstadt von Jaipur, Rajasthan (Indien); es ist ein Teil des riesigen Stadtpalasts der hiesigen Maharajas. Es wurde 1799 erbaut.
Das fünfstöckige Gebäude diente allein dazu, den Haremsdamen den Ausblick auf die zu Ehren des Herrschers oder an religiösen Festtagen veranstalteten pompösen Festumzüge zu ermöglichen, ohne selbst sichtbar zu sein.
Diese Fenster sind sehr niedrig angebracht. Man kann sich auf den Boden setzen und bequem rausschauen.
beneath the glass lie empty shelves, rows of silence. the reflections above move with life, unaware of the weight beneath their feet. burned pages, absent minds, a history that lingers. the grid of the shelves mirrors their shadows—ghosts of what was. they press on, they always do. but here, for a moment, you pause. you feel it.
Tras una fina capa de cristal se esconde el invierno de mi y muestra formas tan frágiles y fugaces como un parpadeo.
This little free library is run by St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. The library container mirrors the front profile of the church itself. The library sits along a no parking zone where parents wait in their cars for students being let out from the Catholic school across the street. The location of the library in a place frequented by children during the week is a nice touch. Zooming on the photo reveals "God Bless You" stickers at the bottom book spines. An interesting feature of the local cultural landscape.
