Barbara's suggested theme this week is "doors". Not a typical photographic subject for me. My Guy does a lot of architecture photography, he loves really old buildings. So thinking back to the last time he found a worthy subject, I did remember a side trip we made during our fall break get away last year.
Old churches are a favorite with My Guy. Old churches have a certain grace and peace about them that make for some intereseting photographs. This old Catholic church had stained glass in both front doors. I like stained glass, though the light wasn't the best for a really spectacular shot, I took this one anyway. We just happen to see the spire from the highway as we were driving by on our way home. My Guy utilized the family rule about travel photography (anyone who sees a photo op can call for a stop as long as we are not on a time schedule). It was a nice way to spend an hour before we started the drive home.
Now it's time for a second cup of coffee while I check out what other door photos are posted over on Cat Patches. Have a wonderful weekend.

I like this, Kate. It looks as if the sky was reflecting in the glass? The colors are interesting. I like when we're traveling through rural towns and find an old church with a steeple. The town is usually built around this one structure.
Very pretty. I like old churches, too. :)
Stained glass is always so pretty, I'll bet that's gorgeous when the sun shines through. I like your guys photo rule, I think I'm going to try it on my guy.
Hopping over from Cat patches. I love old churches as well and I really like this stained glass.
That is a lovely shot. Stained glass is always appealing to me.
Nice shot--great rule for photography while traveling :) Love the worn finish on the door too.
I, too, love stained glass. And we have a similar code for travel in our family.
Awesome stained glass! Old churches do have the most amazing architecture.
