Thanks, Al.  When I designed the house, back in 1967, I was generous 
with duplex outlets above the kitchen counter.  I had to move to the 
opposite side of the window, and frame tightly with the 90 to get this 
image.  I did turn on an overhead fluorescent as a fill light.  Shooting 
wide open softened the background detail.
