Night falls quietly

Just before 4:00 p.m. the sun still warmed the four tall eucalyptus trees down at our local monastery.
Then only the colored church windows caught the last bits of sunlight.
.
SkyWatch Friday is beginning now. Fly on over to visit.

  23. I imagine that was why chuch windows were created for. With the intention of attracting attention, and with a purpose of aestetics.

    These 2 pictures of the monastery are so relaxing, and peaceful. It is timeless. No references to modernity.
