    That’s a pretty haunting piece of art. The eyes definitely have it!

    Nice shot – I love the way the colors pop in this.

    Blue, indeed. Wow. Where was this?

    What a fantastic piece of art!!! I love it.

    Didn’t get the ’seamonkey’ comment you left in my blog. I must be really slow today, and I will blame it to jet lag.

    Interesting photo. For some reason, I didn’t notice Jesus had blue eyes before.

    This and others below are fantastic! Not easy getting shots of stained glass that’s not distorted.

    Blue eyes and red hair?
    That’s different!

    Jientje: There’s a Wellcome Trust page all about Blue Eyes and Red Hair. It’s not uncommon in Scotland, where I’m from, But given this is a piece of African art perhaps it is very unusual.

    Smarmoofus: I’ve started putting tags on all my posts, so this one’s tagged as “Debre Libanos” — a monastery that’s featured a lot in my WW posts.

    Marina: Hummingbird babies look like hairy plums!

I'd love to hear from you!
