We went out for breakfast. Our table was near a window and, glancing through, I noticed these 'likely lads' depicted on the wall of a little courtyard.
A quick shot (camera always with me) revealed also two windows through the window, a modern window and a more ornate old one.
Who were these men, I wondered. And then I remembered the name of the Wetherspoon's pub where we had come for breakfast: "The Old Gaolhouse".
So I guess these were erstwhile prison warders. The waitress knew no more, just that this little courtyard has no doors now and is only accessible by climbing over the roof.
But this was the view I needed for
Window Wednesdays
After a walk around the back side of the windows district in Arches National Park the light was still low and soft for this view as I headed toward the parking lot.

Beautiful window in St Peter and St Paul's church in Weobley, Herefordshire. I like the colourful glass picked out by the sunlight here.
St Peter & St Paul, Weobley
The first mention of a resident priest at “wibbelai” comes in the Domesday Book of 1086. The first stone church on this site was built in the twelfth century by Hugh de Lacy which replaced an earlier wooden building, erected during Saxon times. Hugh de Lacy became Lord of the manor in 1091 having already helped to found Llanthony Priory in 1085.
The first vicar of whom we know was Philip de Woonton in 1287. The present building is essentially the third church on this site, built in the decorated Perpendicular Style, with some early English remnants, and dating mainly from the thirteenth century.
This magnificent Church has a fourteenth century 185’ spire and is the only spire in the county to be supported by little flying buttresses connected to pinnacles rising from the tower.
It contains a fine marble memorial to Cromwellian supporter and Parliamentarian Col. John Birch. Other features include medieval stained glass, ball-flower decorations, a scissor-beamed roof and a Norman archway in the South Porch. There are some fine 15th century figures of little angels in the tracery of the north window.

I still occasionally stop by this group of abandoned houses for a shot or two. On this day, I was interested in windows.
Shot at night I chose the spot meter to the lamp at zone 7 and lightened the shadows in development to achieve a better exposure instead of using matrix or averaging modes.
Since I've been fighting sickness since mid-March I haven't felt good about much of anything lately. I wanted to let that mood take over for a little while. The picture I chose to copy, though a bit of a different mood, lent itself well to my frustration. Here's to yet another round of antibiotics!
