…and here’s a scene from a dramatically-lit chapel inside the cathedral in Siracusa.

those old windows
I’m a sucker for those tiny little diamond-shaped windows.
In case you were wondering, this church dates to the late 13th century and has both a resident organist AND a “band of bell ringers.” And that’s not all! The last village band in Worcestershire, the Bretforton Silver Band, has strong ties to the church and provides music for special services.

red church
The church was unlocked so I…well, you know what I did.
Those red curtains made the place glow.

non-united
I’m not even going to attempt to explain the Methodist church and the fissures that are now creating the Global Methodist Church from certain previously-affiliated United Methodist congregations. You can Google that on your time.
The not-very-neatly-applied duct tape on this sign sort of told me what I needed to know here.

fan distortions
Now, you might think there’s no reason to bother going to Hagerman, New Mexico, but I am here to tell you that if you decide against going there, then you’ll miss this fan in the furthest west window of the First Presbyterian Church. (You’ll also maybe miss a worried-looking woman asking you if you know where Tawny is…apparently there was supposed to be a wedding? I didn’t stick around to see what happened, but maybe I ought to have.)
