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.

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.
