Restoration of Spanish church shows shadows

Beautiful shadow shots for Sunday, of a lovely church being restored in Toledo, Spain.

Dick took these pictures during a walking tour of Toledo on Christmas Day, 2008. I don't know about the whole city of Toledo, but where we were staying, everything was uphill, and then downhill again.  We did have a rental car, but by the time we had squeezed it into the hotel's underground carpark, Dick said he wasn't taking it out again until we checked out the next morning. So off he went, looking for food to bring back to me, but there were no stores open. Eventually, he found a souvenir shop that sold boxes of pineapple turnovers. So, for Christmas 2008, we had pineapple turnovers and water for lunch and dinner. The next morning our hotel had a lovely buffet breakfast waiting for us, however, so we squeezed the car out of the underground parking lot and went on our way, crossing the plain toward the Mediterranean coast.
