Great image! We have a similar expression, probably a well known phrase worldwide!

Is this similar to "Every cloud has a silver lining" Fons & Birna?
(language & cultural context makes a big difference for sayings like these)

A friend once changed this to "Every bad workman has a silver lining" but by now we are way off topic.....

I had a wonderful visit to the Abbey in Tewkesbury, UK yesterday.

I need to go back with my camera, but for now this phone-pic shows modern attempts to solve the problem of heating such a big space, alongside the grace and serenity

"Behind the clouds, the sun shines every day". A well-know Norwegian song by song writer Jack Berntsen and lyrics by Herbjørg Wassmo.

My humble visualisation attempt of the samre.
Very dramatic. It is a strong statement.

  The black path in the front makes for an excellent symbol and visual balance and striking addition, both at the same time.

  Wonderful use of that 10.5 Bruno. Spatial distortion and light arrangements all work here.

Thank you, Paco. I like this little lens.

If one pushes the camera hard enough, even a stock Zf may record a tad of IR.

In this case, the Nikkor 40mm f/2 was used wide open and camera settings ISO3200 and 1/5 sec. filter is R72, which is the "mildest" one of the true IR filters. Camera was hand-held. Sharpness is quite good actually, proving that AF focusing and VR in-camera did help, but noise is on the high side for a modern sensor. Thus the stock camera does not really *like* IR, just pretending to be IR-capable. Oh well, I don't believe in its bragging and have modifed Z camera (Z5, Z6) for true IR  purpose. Just a quick experiments during my morning coffee break anyway.
