Sunday Morning Windows

Stained Glass Window in Christchurch Cathedral, Bahamas © 2008 Bo Mackison

Some see these beauties every Sunday morning. Others of us have to be satisfied with a photograph. Christchurch Cathedral, a short walk from Nassau’s Main Street, is a haven from typical tourist fare. The original Gothic structure was built in 1861. Besides its beautiful stained glass windows, it has embedded stone memorials and epitaphs of church members – civic leaders and seafarers alike – that cover the church’s interior walls.

About Bo Mackison

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.

    That is a stonker of a picture, stain glass can be quite hard if the light is too strong but that one is just right.It looks like the light is good as the rest of the pictures have a nice quality to them.

    Cheers Mark

    Excellent exposure and detail – looks great. I’ve never been to the Bahamas… has to be better than New England in January!

    Thanks for the comments. I’m always so happy when someone stops to leave a message.

    Montucky: I’m glad I lugged my camera too. Just don’t talk about it with my family! 🙂

    Tom: Better than Wisconsin in January, too.

    Mark, Jules: I think the lighting was luck, but I’m glad luck is in my pocket some of the time.

    Ankush: Thanks for all your comments. Glad you’re back. As far as perspective in ps, sorry your talent and knowledge are way beyond mine. If I ever get Photoshop, maybe I’ll catch up – or at least get a bit closer!
