For today’s Photo of the Day I am starting something new.  I am going to be revisiting some photographs I took in the past from some of my favorite places to photograph in Arizona but never published here.  The first one was taken in March, 2010 at St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery in Florence, AZ.  This is a great place to visit in general (no need to be Greek Orthodox).  It is peaceful and quite with beautiful gardens and architecture.  This stained glass window resembles the sun on the Arizona flag and was in one of the several chapels on the monastery grounds.
