Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

This week’s photo challenge from the Daily Post is illumination.  When I sat and thought about this word and what is meant to me I had images of the amazing illuminated manuscripts of ancient documents but a photograph of something like that was out of the question – well this week anyway.  However, this thinking led me along a religious route and reminded me of the amazing stained glass windows at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona I saw last July.  The windows are more blue or orange/green depending on whether they are facing the sea or the mountains.

About Helen Johnstone

I live in Malvern, Worcestershire and am a very keen gardener. I started the Patient Gardener Blog in January 2008 as a way of recording what was happening in my garden and connecting with other like-minded people. I started a second blog PatientGardener 365 January 2013 in order to try and post a photo a day to capture what is growing in my garden or places I have visited

    The colours reminded me of the ‘stained glass windows’ we used to make with the children at school, with tissue paper and PVA glue on plastic, which you peel off when dry… Very messy, but great results :)
