The Walls of Lincoln Castle

.

Aged walls crumble

as earth reclaims its own...we

are but fleeting here…

This photo of Lincoln Castle was taken during a trip to England in 2007.

While the castle has stood for centuries, it is certain that time will return it to the earth.

In Glasgow Cathedral

.

Ancient steps worn smooth...

a constant quest to touch the

Light of holy grace...

Medieval Glasgow Cathedral survived the Reformation intact and remains in active use today. While it's known to have one of the finest collection of stained-glass windows in post-war Britain, it was the stone steps, worn down by centuries of supplicants, that captured my heart's eye.
