Three years ago on this blog, I wrote about Henry Holiday’s depiction of the Transfiguration in the stained glass window located at Trinity Church in the City of Boston. At the time I was particularly interested in the position of the hands in his window though my research revealed to me that he was especially noted for his execution of drapery.
With a new lens and new perspective I’ve been revisiting the window, and I begin to understand what I read about his work with cloth in glass.
These images are from the top of the window. What’s amazing to me is that much of this detail you cannot see with the naked eye.
And yet the whole of what you see from the ground is quite stunning.

The icy patterns that form on the inside of the windows in the old house where I live. The first time this season. Now it feels like winter. 🙂

I asked a certain physicist to help me understand what happened in the sky near sunset in Copley Square. We discussed the interplay of light and shadow. How the sun below the horizon was illuminating the clouds from below. How the sharp line in the sky might result from shadows cast by something on the horizon. Then of course there were the clouds at different altitudes. Shorter wavelength blue light scattered out. Longer wavelength red light left behind. In the end all we could agree upon was that it was beautiful.
The sun set today in Boston at 4:27 pm.
