In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

Dedicated to a colleague injustly fired of the company today. More than a colleague, a friend. To share with you these years of work has been divine.
Dedicada a una compañera de trabajo despedida hoy injustamente. Más que una compañera de trabajo, una amiga. Compartir contigo estos años de trabajo ha sido divino.
ENGLISH
The church of Santa María de Aínsa, is a good example of the Medieval architecture of the Sobrarbe area, although throughout its history it has undergone many modifications of the several rooms the temple is made up of: church, subterranean crypt, cloister and belfry tower.
The origins of the temple go back to the XIth century, being an irregularly proportioned construction of rough ashlar.
The church is accessed by way of an open door with a semicircular arc and archivolts, upheld by columns with carved capitals, and on the higher part of the entrance the usual Romanesque chrysmon may be seen.
However, the church has another entrance at the back, which acts as a junction between the temple proper, the tower and the irregular pentagon-shaped medieval cloister.
From the church, entering from the first stretch of the nave, one reaches the basement, a crypt opened beneath the front part of the temple.
On the other hand, to visit the tower and enjoy a beautiful view of the Aínsa’s historical urban area and its surroundings, one must enter from the exterior, through an elevated door. When one reaches the belfry’s openings, it is easy to understand why this tower had religious uses, but above all military ones , as it is an excellent observation tower for the Cinca river.

CASTELLANO
La Iglesia parroquial de Santa María de Ainsa (Provincia de Huesca, España) es un templo de estilo románico iniciado en el siglo XI y finalizado en el siglo XII. Se consagró en 1181.
De sencilla portada de cuatro arquivoltas apoyadas en otros tantos pares de columnas de capiteles labrados. Desde el interior del templo de única nave con bóveda de medio cañón apuntado se accede a la cripta y el claustro, ambos de gran interés.
La Cripta cuenta con 18 columnas y capiteles. Su torre, de dimensiones únicas en el románico aragonés, hace imprescindible su visita, con saeteras para la defensa, se alza entre las casas del pueblo y domina el entorno. Consta de cuatro pisos diferenciados, uno de ellos, el tercero, destinado a campanario.
El claustro, totalmente irregular, es un ejemplo de adaptación al medio. En el interior se puede admirar la obra del ábside realizada en piedra blanda de color rojo. La bóveda es de horno y tiene el eje ligeramente desviado del de la nave.

Pullip Custom Head by Sheryl Designs to Sinstresse
Sinstresse order me the same design on this face doll:
One of the three apse windows that constitute the first major stained glass commission of John Piper & Patrick Reyntiens, executed 1954-6 and portraying nine aspects of Christ's divinity.
The also constitute the first major flowering of a new, contemporary approach to stained glass design, radically different from anything produced in this country before, and therefore a milestone in the evolution of modern stained glass in Britain.
Right hand (south east) window representing Christ as the Judge, the Teacher & the Good Shepherd.
This was my second visit to Oundle School Chapel, an impressive building designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield in 1922-3 and standing completely detached in splendid isolation in the grounds of Oundle School. The chapel was built in a late Perpendicular Gothic style with a nave flanked by low aisles and a tall clerestorey that floods the interior with light..The east end is formed by a polygonal apse surrounded with a low ambulatory (forming a hidden corridor within).
The interior is vast and spacious as a grand school chapel should be, but fine though the architecture is it is the explosions of coloured light that punctuate the aisles and the deep, brooding tones of the glass in the apse that draw the eye here. Oundle's chapel is a treasure house of modern stained glass, from the three altar windows by John Piper & Patrick Reyntiens (their first ever commission dating from 1954-6, often considered the first windows in a modern style in Britain) to the extensive scheme of aisle windows recently commissioned from Mark Angus and installed in 2002-5.
Piper & Reyntiens' apse windows are quite unique, and more figurative than so much of their more familiar later work. The images represent nine aspects of Christ, each personifying a different aspect of his divinity. The colouring is rich and dense and the stylisation bold, many of the faces being more reminiscent of some powerful tribal mask than anything seen in a British church before. It took great vision and courage to commission these windows (Piper & Reyntiens had little experience at this stage and no previous collaboration to their names) and is perhaps symptomatic of postwar optimism and a more forward thinking approach than is often seen in today's commissions in glass. John Betjeman was so impressed on first seeing these works that he stated that the chapel would become a place of pilgrimage to art lovers, and so it should be to anyone with an interest in modern glass.
The aisle windows by Mark Angus are no less richly coloured, and some (at the west end) are equally figurative but most use a more abstract symbolic language. Much of the drawing has a rather charming, almost childlike naivety and the designs are in many cases kept refreshingly simple, allowing the various bold colours to dominate these smaller apertures.
Oundle School Chapel is a must for anyone with an interest in contemporary stained glass and the School is to be commended for its vision in making such a statement in its choice of artists. The chapel may be open to visitors much of the time but it might be advisable to check if making a special journey to see it.
This is a straight out of the camera shot. There is no editing involved. 3rd day into the vacation and had some great shots from Slot Canyon today.
The old lady in the pictures went near the light and gave this pose for just a little bit. She did not stay there for more than 10 secs because she was obviously in the frame for lot of photographers. I loved getting her into the frame. Made it more interesting than just with light streak alone.
I'm still on the road and will be uploading only rarely when I find a chance and some time. I have so many pictures to go through and edit when I get back next week.
