Hi Gerald!
Any chance you could make the photograph choice to large so when we click onto it we can maybe read the sign?
I really enjoyed the rhythm of this haiku!
Actually no I can't.
The original photograph from which this crop is taken is very poor indeed. You can only read as much as you can of the sign due to a very heavy enhanced contrast being applied. It is virtually a 100% crop from a much larger picture.
But in any case it is a different church and a different time as well as a different blue and yellow!
The haiku though is fresh yesterday.
I like fresh as yesterday! (-;
Thank you again for the haiku. It's a delight to read out aloud, but I have only done this a few times as I'm getting strange looks.
Gerald,
I like the haiku's lilting read. A lovely image, enhanced by the accompanying photo. Very nice, indeed.
Gerald,
Is this church in Macclesfield?
The Church of St Michael and All Angels?
If so I understand that there are some stain glass windows worth seeing there.

(There is a Church of the same name in Bristol too Alan)
The church is at
Mottram-in-Longdendale

This Church too has some good stained glass - a Kempe window.

Thanks Little Onion! So you have hung out at Bristol at some time then?
I also echo what Denis has said, and have enjoyed revisiting this image and haiku.
