With new lighting comes new opportunities to create. Trinity Church in the City of Boston has been updating its interior lighting, and with new light have come revelations so to speak as ceiling artwork once hidden in the shadows comes to life once more as originally conceived in 1877. Of course this provides new photographic opportunities like capturing this lovely blue peacock amidst green vines and rose flowers. We’re at work translating this image into merchandise for the shop. So far, we’ve created a latte mug, a decorative pen and … hold your breath … yes, a silk chiffon scarf is waiting in the wings along with a charming hand mirror. Stop by the shop sometime to see these and other items that capture the unique beauty of this National Historic Landmark and active Episcopal church. https://www.trinitychurchboston.org/visit

As we approach June 6, I thought it appropriate to repost this “chapter” in the series I wrote walking through history with Joseph Anthony Horne (1911-1987). Enjoy.

WWII: Europe: France; “Into the Jaws of Death — U.S. Troops wading through water and Nazi gunfire”, circa 1944-06-06, by Robert F. Sargent
On June 6, 1944, the Western Allies launched the invasion of Normandy. It would prove to be a pivotal point in the course of the war as soldiers, by air, land and sea, fought to liberate France from Germany. Troops landed at beaches all along the northern coast.
