What a beautiful window as well as the wall into which it is set. Lovely.

I like the warm color of the stone.

You give "tracery" a whole new meaning. At least we don't see the pigeons.

I'm so happy the Dutch Church is getting so many votes to save it!

These traces are so subtle to be seen. The texture from the wall are really catching my attention.
