If you’ve been following this blog, you know I am fascinated by the effects of light. I’ve written about shadows, reflections, rainbows, sparkle, and the aurora-like reflection of Christmas lights on the ceiling.

So, above you’ll see another effect of light: sunshine through a faceted piece of stained glass in a bathroom window at Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Haw River, NC. Did its creator anticipate the interesting constellation-like points of light it would cast?

One more surprise of the light. It’s hard to tell from this photo, but this dragonfly glistened gold in the sun as though someone (or Someone) had made it out of gold wire–a piece of jewelry for the grass. It amazes me how insect exoskeletons can create those metallic and/or iridescent effects. Imagine if our skins could glitter like that!

Till next post.
