Prismatic Rose Window Sunset Light in Brantford

Amber and violet hues spill across the stone floor from a massive cathedral rose window as the sun dips toward the horizon. The intricate leaded glass fractures the midsummer light into shifting geometric patterns that pool against the base of the walls. Beside the window, a corridor of prayer wheels stands in quiet shadow, their metallic surfaces catching faint glimmers of the passing daylight. The wide panoramic view shows the depth of the nave where long, dark shadows stretch along the masonry. Dust motes hover in the bright shafts of color, settling gently on the rough-hewn stone steps. at the edge is a sharp edge of crimson light tracing the curve of a wooden prayer wheel handle.
