Sunlight through stained glass

The RC Cathedral of St. Marie, Sheffield, August 2017.  Camera: Samsung mobile phone. 

Taken one summer day, the first time we'd visited Sheffield together; I'd previously stayed at Ranmoor Hall and at a venue outside the city itself.  The name Wortley Hall is coming to mind for the latter, but I could well be wrong about that.  I do vividly remember the fossil stump in the grounds.

Sheffield turned out to have a lovely city centre, with two cathedrals to visit and take in.  It's a funny thing, but as a child, I knew that Liverpool has two cathedrals - there's a line in a song that goes 'and if you want a cathedral, we've got one to spare, in my Liverpool home.'  I thought that Liverpool was unique -  then I went to Norwich and found that they were well endowed in the cathedral department as well.  Then Sheffield...  In this one, the Roman Catholic one, the sun happened to be at the perfect angle to shine through a window and create this.
