Light makes such a difference in photography. Sometimes you plan well, sometimes you just get lucky.
We are staying in a 15th century house in the historic, walled section of the medieval town of Dinan. Two houses down, at the end of our street, is the Basilica of Saint Sauveur, which was founded in 1112 by Riwallon Rufas (upon his return from the first crusade).
Yesterday, we visited the church as the sun was low in the sky. It was the perfect time for a visit. The colors of the stained glass windows spread all around the church, giving it a brilliant, sparkly glow. It was stunning.
"May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out."
