Another Photo from Wabi Sabi Challenge Photo Walk in Allaire State Park, NJ. Another challenge of the day was only shooting 12 photos as if we were shooting a roll of film. I only shot 12. Interesting exercise in patience.

The south wall of the south transept of Amiens Cathedral has five open arches behind which is a triforium passage. Behind them a series of windows is stretching right across the wall. Above this is another series of windows and above this again the huge rose representing one of the four elements – fire. It all looks like it were one sheet of glass. HDR

View out of the guard tower window at the Great Wall of China. We went to an unrenovated section where most of the stuff is still fallen down and in disrepair. Very interesting. Beijing, China.

The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo (Spanish: Catedral Primada Santa María de Toledo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Toledo, Spain, see of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain. It was begun in 1226 under the rule of Ferdinand III and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when, in 1493, the vaults of the central nave were finished during the time of the Catholic Monarchs. It was modeled after the Bourges Cathedral, although its five naves plan is a consequence of the constructors' intention to cover all of the sacred space of the former city mosque with the cathedral, and of the former sahn with the cloister. It also combines some characteristics of the Mudéjar style, mainly in the cloister, and with the presence of multifoiled arches in the triforium. The spectacular incorporation of light and the structural achievements of the ambulatory vaults are some of its more remarkable aspects. It is built with white limestone from the quarries of Olihuelas, near Toledo.
It is popularly known as Dives Toletana (meaning The Rich Toledan in Latin).

St. Peter's Chapel at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was built in 1901 under the guidance of Chaplin McAllister and is the oldest chapel in the military. The organ was installed in 1929 and updated again in 1966.
The twenty-nine stained glass windows were installed over a thirty year period to honor individuals and groups. Twenty-five of the windows are known to be from the Tiffany Studios, one by the Cummings Studios, and this triptych from Ingerson and Glaser of San Francisco.
The chapel is maintained by the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation
The 1953 Western classic film Shane was largely filmed in the Jackson Hole Valley. Most of the set locations for the film have long ago been dismantled including the town that was built on the Antelope Flats and several other cabins. This cabin and two other smaller structures just next to it are the only set from the movie that remain. The three structures were actually real cabins of early Jackson Hole settlers that were repurposed for the movie. In a major plot of the movie, a powerful rancher was trying to force the homesteaders out of their homes to secure control of the valley for his ranch. This cabin was the cabin of homesteader Ernie Wright in the movie. From the window on the western wall of the cabin, you get a nice view of the mountains.
