Salutations, friends! There is not much news to report from the CPE front, except to say that CPE is engaging, rewarding, important, and amazingly exhausting. For those of you who know me well, you know also that I am of the introverted persuasion. This means that prolonged social interaction has a way of leaving me drained. CPE is nothing if not socially interactive. And so, at the end of the day, I am nothing if not drained. I’m learning a lot, and am very glad to be here, but nevertheless, I’m looking forward to being able to rest for real when it’s all over!

That said, here are some more magical photo-graphs. These are from a stained glass window in the Museum of Art. It’s in one of the aforementioned “reconstructed rooms,” and is a very nice, and peaceful place to sit. I think it’s made up of pieces of broken windows, put together into a new one.

Without further wei:

I like the way that the face looks like it is just leaving the picture, as if it has somewhere to be.

See how the way the glass on the left is cut so it looks like an angel wing for the figure on the right? I’m not sure if it was done on purpose, but it sure looks excellent.

I’m sure this is for St Mark the Evangleist. Medieval pictures of African animals are so funny. You can tell the guy who painted it had never actually seen a lion. I love the human ears.

The brick walls in the pieces on the right and left look strangely modern; they almost remind me of World War II imagery, like concentration camps or something. Kind of dark next to the bright yellow shield.

A nice abstract piece.

Ooooh… something interesting is going on over there! What’s going on over there?

I like how the little plant sprout is glowing…

So, there it is: more delicious photo-graphery! The horizontal pictures also make very nice desktop wallpaper, if I do say so meself.
