While in Dinan we visited the Église Saint-Malo, a 15th century Catholic church, a little bit "younger" than the medieval town center with its buildings from the the 13th and 14th century.
From outside, the church looks like a typical Gothic building, but pay attention to the big windows.
Inside, the church is without the ornaments we often associate with Catholic churches. The nave is high and light.
But what makes this church "alive" is the windows, or to be more precise the light that comes in through them, lighting up the walls.
The true fascination, though, is caused by the stained glass windows. Look at that!
As a photographer I am always fascinated by light, but when light, glass and color meet, it's amazing.
Light, color and shadow on the stone floor.
Do you see the people's faces in the stained glass? This is my contribution to Nicole's Friday Face Off. I guess this depicts the scene of Jesus and the children, "Let the children come to me" - I'm not particularly well versed in the Bible, but this I remember from confirmation classes in my teenage years.
Have an enjoyable weekend, everybody!
