The Spirit like a dove
THEME DAY: BEST PHOTO OF 2009 • I originally posted this stained glass window on March 3, 2009. It depicts Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River and the Holy Spirit descending upon him from the heavens like a dove. The window is one of many in the historic Malate Church, built anywhere between the late 16th century to the early 18th (I can't find exact information), which is dedicated to Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Our Lady of the Remedies). I don't really know if it is my best photo of the year, but it was the first time I tried taking a picture of a stained glass window and I was very happy with the result.

Hilda, it's a beautiful, heavenly photo of a stained glass window! And I think Jorge de Leon would be proud that you featured his donated window!
Wonderful! It's so hard to get a great shot or stained-glass windows that aren't over or under done. This one is perfect.
I can see why you chose this photo. It's not easy to get a good picture of a stained glass window. The colors are wonderful! Happy Friday!!
Oh yes! I agree. Well done.

Beautifully captured, Hilda! The artist should be pleased. Lovely choice for the theme too.
I totally agree with your choice, it's wonderful
I don't know if this is your best picture (I've seen so many great ones on your blog), but it certainly is beautiful.
One of my passion, stained glass window photography. Very clear and vivid shot.
The photo is vibrant and clear and colorful like the real window. I would be happy to get such results too!
Beautiful. And right around the Feast of the Baptism.
It's beautiful and very well shot.
