PESO - Wells and Lace

Several years ago we visited Wells Cathedral in England, and I took many photos. Two of them are framed and hung on a wall of our living room. A few days ago the morning sunlight light shone through our lace curtains: https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/January-2023/Jan-2023-Miscellany/i-DMPBSPD/
