Utah is a state in the Western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th largest, the 34th most populous, and the 10th least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2,817,222 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City, leaving vast expanses of the state nearly uninhabited and making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. Utah is bordered by Colorado on the east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north, Arizona on the south, and Nevada on the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico.
We had a few hours touring the cathedral and monastery in Batalha.
With the low autumn sunshine, the light through the stained glass windows played beautifully on the walls
St Peter's in Greatworth is a small building consisting solely of west tower, nave and chancel. The nave itself appears to have been rebuilt in a rather plain fashion in the 19th century, the tower appears to be 14th century whilst the chancel is the oldest part with it's 13th century Early English lancets.
The interior is quite plain, with few furnishings of note and no stained glass, instead late 19th century patterned glazing with tinted colouring fills every window.
The main items of interest are the monuments mounted on the north wall of varying dates and styles with some good details (particularly the eccentrically assymmetrical rococco tablet behind the pulpit) dating from the late 17th and 18th centuries.
Just the other day I realized I wasn’t taken as many photographs of my daughter as I used to. I’ve gotten so caught up in portrait and wedding stuff, landscapes, storms, urbex…I just kind of stopped shooting random photos of Lyla around the house or wherever we might be. Which is sad, because she’s pretty much the reason all this started…once she was born, I didn’t want to do anything but shoot pictures of her, which led to a new passion being born inside of me.
So the last few days I’ve gotten back into the habit of watching her, seeing what she’s doing and capturing it on camera if I can. Feels good to be back doing it.
This particular photo, however, was taken back at the end of December when we had a day-long rain storm which doesn’t happen around here too much. The house we’re renting in downtown Phoenix is a hundred-years old and the windows are amazing. No screens, no sliding sideways…they are the old, heavy, wooden ones with the cables on each side that help raise it up. There is something magical about these open windows and I knew when Lyla was standing on her little stool watching the rain, I just had to capture this moment.
Another memory that will last forever.
And I need those, because my wife will tell you that I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast…THIS morning. *grin*

"Four Seasons" — the Findlay memorial engraved-glass window (1974) in the north transept of the church of St Nicholas, Moreton (info).
House in St Leonard's Close, Bridgnorth. Reflection of the church and anglepoise - slightly surreal!
I will not be putting up many photos after today for a while as I am having a operation .. a Meniscal Repair done on my knee tomorrow, June 20. That is if I am not snowed in as they are predicting a big snow storm for the next few days!
St. John the Baptist's Cathedral Day 10 of our Cosmos tour, October 9, 2012 Lyon France. We did short tour around the city then made our way to Paris.
Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon (English: St. John the Baptist's Cathedral in Lyon) is a Roman Catholic cathedral near the Saone river in Lyon, France, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Lyon.
It was founded by Saint Pothinus and Saint Irenaeus, the first two bishops of Lyon. The cathedral is also known as a "Primatiale" because in 1079 the Pope granted to the archbishop of Lyon the title of Primate of All the Gauls with the legal supremacy over the principal archbishops of the kingdom. It is located in the heart of the old town (Vieux Lyon), less than five minutes away from the banks of the Saone river, with a large plaza in front of it and a metro stop nearby providing easy access to and from the city center.
Begun in the twelfth century on the ruins of a 6th-century church, it was completed in 1476. The building is 80 metres long (internally), 20 metres wide at the choir, and 32.5 metres high in the nave. The cathedral organ was built by Daublaine and Callinet and was installed in 1841 at the end of the apse and had 15 stops. It was rebuilt in 1875 by Merklin-Schütze and given 30 stops, three keyboards of 54 notes and pedals for 27.
Noteworthy are the two crosses to right and left of the altar, preserved since the council of 1274 as a symbol of the union of the churches, and the Bourbon chapel, built by the Cardinal de Bourbon and his brother Pierre de Bourbon, son-in-law of Louis XI, a masterpiece of 15th century sculpture.
The cathedral also has the Lyon Astronomical Clock from the 14th century.
Until the construction of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, it was the pre-eminent church in Lyon.
