Leaving for my early morning walk I went out a side door into our gazebo area.....looking up toward the original historic building at Eastcastle the stained glass windows in one specific staircase caught my eye.
These windows are "hidden" from inside the building and it took us awhile, after moving in, to find the right hallway leading to the door opening into this secret world of beauty. The windows were commissioned in memory of a couple's son who died in Paris many years ago. At one point, when the buildings were being re-designed, it was suggested that the windows be removed....luckily one of the architects (who now lives here) vetoed that decision.
The ending dark of the early fall morning meant the inside lights were still on and the colorful beauty was lit from within. Just a quick reminder to look for beauty in unexpected places.....often in nature....just as often in the buildings around us.
