Reflection in the ceiling light-fitting of the former baptistry (now the confessional) at Our Lady, Lillington.
The Catholic church of Our Lady in Lillington (now a suburb of Leamington Spa) was opened in 1963 and is quite simply one of the most stunning modern churches I've ever seen.
The building, designed by Henry Fedeski, follows the traditional cruciform plan but with a centrally placed altar at the crossing. However the most outstanding element here is the sheer abundance of (mostly) abstract stained glass, bathing the interior in a magical kaleidoscopic light.
The glass is the work of Dom Charles Norris, heading a team of monks who employed the dalle de verre (slab of glass) technique, wherein thick chunks of coloured glass are set in a concrete matrix. Norris is best known for his work at Buckfast Abbey, though the parish priest here tells me these windows were made at Prinknash.
The entire clerestorey of all four arms of the building consists of this rich abstract glazing. A round window enlivens the entrance facade (liturgically west but the church is actually orientated north to south) whilst the transepts are dominated by huge images of Mary and the Archangel Gabriel respectively (the only figurative elements in the glazing). There are yet further examples of this rich glass in three of the side chapels and annexes at ground level, all in all making a visit to this church an unforgettable experience.
This is a magnificent building which clearly deserves to be better known, there can be few such significant examples of dalle de verre glass in the country. (the church is normally locked outside of services).

I think I take a picture of these barns every single time I visit the Nisqually nature reserve. This was my first time to venture close to the stream, though. It was kind of funny because there were a bunch of birders at the reserve on this day, and people thought that I had spotted a super cool bird. Nope, just cool reflections :)

In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.

Three houses along a canal with their reflection in the water.
This is my first entry for We do it everyday, which has a list of 180 things to take pictures of. I decided to build them myself...
I did not photoshop this image except for contrast and sharpness - I actually built the houses twice and put them together.
Drie huizen langs een gracht, weerspiegeld in het water.
Dit is mijn eerste bijdrage aan We do it everyday, een groep met een lijst van 180 dingen om te fotograferen. Ik heb besloten om ze eerst zelf te bouwen.
Ik heb Photoshop alleen gebruikt voor contrast en scherpte - ik heb dus echt de huisjes 2x gebouwd en aan elkaar gezet.

I was in International Park, where the SS Scoonmaker was formerly moored, for this photo. The City of Toledo's downtown is reflecting in the Maumee River. The Schoonmaker is now further down the river.
Photographed on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 4x5 film using a Graflex Graphic View Camera and the Kodak 203mm f/7.5 lens. Developed in HC110 B for 5.5 min at 68 F. Spot metered at EI 100with a Sekonic L-758DR. I spot meters the bright "Key Bank" building at the centre of the photo and set the exposure 3 stops longer.
Was a rainy day at Byodo-in Temple in Kyoto. We stopped at the gift shop for a while to dry off and found this garden. I thought the area set up for sitting made for an interesting shot.
Boosted the shadows and the greens a bit in post.

Reflections: Plays from Saint Elizabeths Hospital
October 1 - October 30, 2011
Written by Individuals in Care at Saint Elizabeths Hospital
Director: Andy Wassenich
Associate Director: Elissa Goetschius
Featuring: Luke Cieslewicz, Lex Davis, Melissa Hmelnicky, Maya Jackson, Julie Roundtree and Akil Williams
Stage Manager: Sarah Magno Designed by: Daniel Mori
Additional souls who have lent valuable hands: Caitlin Griffin, Hannah Hessel and Sasha Olinick
About the show:
Since bringing our production of Twelfth Night to Saint Elizabeths Hospital last fall we have developed a unique relationship with this historical DC institution.
Over the course of the summer, Andy Wassenich (Wandering Souls company member) with the help and guidance of the Saint Elizabeth's staff has been leading a playwriting intensive with a handful of individuals in care at the hospital. At the end of this 8 week course each of the students will have written a ten minute play on the themes of recovery, overcoming adversity and hope.
In late August, a team of professional artists, designers, directors and dramaturge will come together to help bring these plays to life. Throughout the month of October the show will hit the road and bring the performance to our friends at DC's homeless shelters, retirement homes , schools, hospitals and other community centers.
