January Squares 15: Sunlight on Stained Glass

Stained glass windows are pretty even from the outside, but of course, more glorious from the inside when the sunlight shines through them! The photos below were all taken at the majestic and wonderous Cathedral of Cologne, Germany. The windows there were spectacular! Becky’s January Squares, ____light

January Square: Night Lights in Paris

For Becky’s Square Challenge with the topic _____light, today my contribution is the Eiffel Tower’s night lights.

CB&WPC: Taking Sides

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week is sides of things. Whose side are you on? I’m not sure I’d want to be on THIS guy’s side – especially its bad side! Climbing up the side of this pyramid might be tricky, not to mention slippery! I’d rather be on this animal’s side than […]
