Description
On one beautiful afternoon in Granada, Nicaragua, I decided to climb the bell tower of the old baroque church known as Iglesia La Merced. I had heard the views overlooking the old Spanish Colonial city were quite great, and as luck would have it, I managed to make it by there just as the late afternoon sun was painting the vistas golden.
After a few minutes, I happened to glance down into the church's main plaza or churchyard, and this is what I saw! I loved the way the sun was painting shadows and light on the old pavement. It was almost as if the cross was a dividing line between the lightness and relative darkness. Somewhat poetic don't you think? Layered with meaning?
The light and textures of this scene still resonate with me and I'm glad that for a moment I looked down instead of just over the rooftops of that beautiful city.
