Greetings Steemians


The last time I was visiting Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, was in 2006. A long time ago for me and yet not even a blink of the eye for one of Mallorca's main attractions, the Cathedral de Palma. Back in these days my photographic companion was a Canon IXUS 75. At the time a decent compact camera, but by far not up to today's standard of even a smart phone camera.

Despite these compromises regarding the image quality, I thought the following pictures were still worth to be shown. Particularly, I wanted to show you the moment, when the early morning sun sets through the cathedral's stained east window just to plunge the entire interior into a glistening spectacle of colours. An enchanting event that lasts not longer than an hour.

I remember as if it was yesterday that I enjoyed bathing in the different shades of colour, simply by changing my position on the church bench from red to yellow to green and so on.

But see for yourself:

Thanks for watching and 'til next time!
