Even Unitarians Have Stained Glass
Looks more trinitarian to me. This is the rear window of the First Unitarian Society of Newton church. I don't know the exact date of this window, but sometime in the 20th century.
Ian, you're subconciously transfixed by the thespian vibes it puts off...These were put out for the patrons and actors during the annual three day Shakespeare in the Park festival here. In the daylight hours before the performance commences, you can sometimes hear the occupants rehearsing their lines as you pass...
That and the oaks in the background maybe¿
It was a rainy Monday and I was on the peninsula anyway, I took a walk.
Ginger,
The yellow home is a nice subject, too bad about the drab weather. My minds eye would have liked to have seen a bit more balance in the windows, or a focus on only one of the windows with perhaps barely a glimpse of the other. Level the camera angle (which I didn't do...) Then a bump in the contrast... Here's an idea, built out of what you had in just the few minutes I had available this morning... I think that home is worth reshooting, it has some great potential.
Just trying to help with my .02 cents...
Keep at it.
I remain,
ginette
The Lourve France
From the fortress of Philippe Auguste (1190) to the completion of the "Grand Dessein" (1870), the Louvre palace has extended progressively along the right bank of the Seine.
Just a little over fifty years old, over 800.
The image is one of many I have of it due to its size it would be impossible even to do a stitch of the complete building as all the external walls turn this way and that making up over two miles long.
Here are a few for this weeks assignment. I have converted a couple to B&W but I am cautious about doing any other adjustments because my monitor is on it's way out.

I've got some others that I will try to get up tonight, but I think a moto ride is going to get in the way
The architecture and design of the older buildings in my neighborhood are so incredible. While doing the photos for this assignment I realized how much detail is missed in passing without really looking closely.

This is the farmhouse in Ireland where my dad grew up. I just got back!

Howdy John,
Welcome aboard! for jumping right into the Photo Assignments.
I like your shot. The shadows from the chimneys really grab my attention!
Technically you've done an outstanding job with this picture. Everything apears sharp, and the exposure is right on. It would have been easy for the highlight on the roof to be overpowering, but it's not. There is still a lot of detail in it.
Composition wise you've done very well also. The tree along the right edge and the branch in the foreground are a little distracting, but otherwise it's very very good.

Welcome Back and Welcome to the Digital Grin Fourm, You Lucky Guy!
Ireland is one of those places I have always wanted to go to, but never made it to. So I envy you for all the beauty you must have seen.
Very nice job on the "old homestead." Really quite nicely done. But of course, since I haven't read your bio yet... You may be about to put most of us to shame!
I concur with Eric, nice composition, balance of light, nice detail in the shadows, but I'm not too distracted by the small branch in this particular image. Love to see more.
Again,
Welcome.

I think I was possessed. It was noon, it was raining, still I walked
I looked now, everwhere another picture, I went behind the buildings
I promised my husband I was returning to the car, and I walked
Onto the island, at the edge of the marsh
As though to walk into the marsh, one must pass by this fence
But it is my island, since I was born twenty years ago, at forty five
Actually I am sneaking a resting dog in here, he knows safety
This island has seen Hurricanes, ones known by name, the windows here
are not just for light and breezes, they protect
Some have lasted, Hurricane Hugo, much is gone, the window remains
Since the 1800s this steeple has guided ships in approach
Now I want to show you what has come to the causeway
This is my island, I must leave you with something good
The house held together with Duct Tape, it exists for childrens play
A different perspective on the beginning as seen in color
Love the lighting and feel each of these images present.

In a really weird way, I like this shot.
