Don't know if this is considered art, but I was impressed with the effect of stained glass at that time of day

Thanks Tatiana, but it was actually my grandfather (my father's father). Unfortunately I don't remember anything from him, he passed away when I was 3


Here's some art from Den Bosch (Netherlands), with another active tog in the background.

In my opinion, beautiful architecture, with ornamental details are certainly art.
The stained glass windows in these churches and cathedrals are not only great pieces of artwork, but the artists builders knew how to create and place them to bring celestial (like) lighting effects from outside inside

Very nicely seen

This is certainly a beautiful artistic image fridaypic , but it should be subject of a separate thread by itself posted under "Other Cool Shots": http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=44

... or maybe as a soft background image: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=257956

Thank you for posting though, and welcome to Dgrin!

I was also impressed by the light coming though the window right on the praying man, in front of this beautiful altar in a church in Comitan, Mexico

At L'écluse de l'Aiguille, one of the countless locks along the Canal du Midi, the lockmaster is an artist and the lock area is full of his irrestible creations, some of which move and make noise (#4)

Damn, I missed that lockmasters work

I rented barges twice on the Midi... Great trips

I still remember the canopy of Italian Poplars that are part of the engineering to hold the banks

So memorable.. that I'm planning a river boat trip up the Mekong Delta to Cambodia next year...

All of those people on the barges looked like they were having fun. Mostly is seemed like they were sipping glasses of wine as we were riding by sweating on our bikes. It seemed to us that on the hottest afternoons the tree coverage seemed to disappear and the trail was rougher and rougher.

The Mekong delta sounds very interesting - looking forward to your entry in "Journeys"!
