Weekly Photo Challenge: Ornate

‘Ornate’: made in an intricate shape or decorated with complex patterns.

This is a detail from a stained glass window in St. Mary’s Church in Beverley, Yorkshire that fits the bill for this week’s challenge. The glass itself is complex and decorative, and so is the intricately-shaped stone framework that holds it together.

Beautiful shot! I love to take pictures of stained glass windows! It reminds me Chartres Cathedral in France.

  Thank you. I’m a big fan of stained glass too, and it was a toss-up between this one or something from Chartres, although the problem I have there is more pronounced converging verticals because the windows are so high up.
