Bill, you certainly get about your lovely country. This is another awesome set of the lovely Dunfermline Abbey. Great perspective in the first one and I love the light coming throught the window in the second and always nice to see a stained glass window. Great work once again Bill.

Dave.

Hi Bill! Three terriffic captures! Whoever created the window had a sence of humor I guess. Found the spider. The 1 and 2nd ones are very well done, i like the perspective and the lighting in the 2nd one.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael

Absolutely wonderful Bill. I love the stained glass windows you've been shooting. I look forward to your Sunday Abbeys. The spider is pretty cool.

Thats correct, speaking to the lady guide and she was telling us about how the guy who designed the window said that he couldn`t have Bruce without the spider.

I hope you make it too, I was talking to this guy from America who was waiting to take a picture of another couple standing next to Bruce`s tomb. He was saying that he was only there to take the pictures of them as they were Bruces`
