Glory of Belief

                

Spirits rise from ash
warriors called by ancients -
sun sets on remains.




Note: This is actually a church stained-glass window from the outside (and several feet above my head) through which I could see the sanctuary cross on the inside.  The cross is actually white and colored by the sun passing through the window.  I though it made and interesting shot with the reflections  on the outside glass.

Neat. I'd be bragging my fool head off if I'd've snapped that photo. Not bad haiku either.
