“The photograph was taken at dawn at a Franciscan friary in Singapore (March, 2010). I had taken the photograph because I was attracted to the morning light, and only later did I see the true beauty of the moment, that the rickety old fence surrounding the property had cast the shadow of the cross into the scene. In a hurry, we sometimes fail to see the divine until we pause to look more closely.”

I didn’t think of that, but there is a stained glass window effect. Thanks for pointing that out, Heidi.
It takes time to see true beauty. It’s inspiring as you slowly ponder over the pix you discover more than what greets the eye. Thanks for sharing Viv! God Bless! Flo
