Sunday Morning Reflections

By
Real Estate Agent with Tropic Shores Realty - Ich spreche Deutsch!

This is one of the recent photos I took while visiting and traveling in Germany.  It was taken in a church  close to my mother's town.  Construction of this church began as early as 870 and was completed in 1270.  Subsequent alterations and renovations were completed since in response to destruction and just plain deterioration over time.

Sunlight was streaming through this window that day creating an interesting contrast between the delicate colors reflected on the interior walls and the sturdy brick exterior of the structure.

Yvette and Dennis, thank you, I'm always on the lookout for something interesting to capture.

Michael and Mike and Lori:  it is located in the town of Wildeshausen, Germany.  I've been to it many times so I didn't take to many exteriors but here are some additional photos:

Charlie, I agree, although back then, buildings were a constant work in progress and parts of them being used while construction continued (probably no Certificate of Occupancy requirement!)

Great picture! My only visit to Germany was when I was 18 for a ski race. I wish that I had taken the time to see other things besides the pubs!

John, with your last name you would be!  Thanks for taking a look!

Brent, there's always next time!

Sharon, glad you enjoyed them.

Jess, I appreciate the comment. There is often more to an image than the actual object it depicts.

Larry, it probably had to withstand some serious challenges but was never completely destroyed.

Silvia, I have never been to Germany but I can see the richness of it's history. There is a Church in Montreal the cahtedral on Norte Dame.. that reminds me of the glass in your photo. Thanks for sharing the picture.

400 years to build a church. That's probably why we build things like they did in your neighborhood recently.

Hi Silvia, Beautiful church and I love the picture of the window.  In Art History class we learned about the cathedrals of Europe and how long they took to complete.  thanks

Jim, you are connecting the dots!

Shirley, back then, lots of building projects were delayed by wars and harvest time and who-knows-what!
