On Chicago's Navy Pier, there is a nice (and free) stained glass museum with lots to see and try and photograph! This is a small detail of a large window. The pieces in this shot are feathers in an angel's wing.
I noticed this part of a stained glass window in Sarratt church the other day. The whole window is beautiful but I especially liked the geometric style of this part of it. I think it is a lovely composition. It is a relatively new window dated from the early 1900's.
This is from a quick spur-of-the-moment trip to Cooks Creek last Sunday. I arrived at the church shortly before closing to the public so I only had time for a few shots.
shot this stain glass which was about 40 ft high up the wall.Totally surprised when the fuji x-t3 locked on to the face & Cropped & processed from raw in Capture One express free Fuji version.Very pleased with the camera so far. You can even make out the spider webs in the top & bottom left if you zoom in.
Although no medieval stained glass survives in the Abbey, there are many fine examples of 19th and 20th century stained glass
Inside Fairhaven High School
Fairhaven, MA
August 15th, 2017
"A member of the first graduating class of the town’s original wooden high school (demolished in the 1920s), Henry H. Rogers chose to build an educational palace to instill in Fairhaven students a sense of the glories associated with learning. He consulted with the top educators of the day while planning the new school.
The Elizabethan-influence design is by Charles Brigham and includes marble floors, oak paneling, stained glass windows and a lovely auditorium with a beamed ceiling and carved wooden gargoyles. The library/media center was once an octagonal gymnasium that contained the first indoor basketball court in an American high school.
The school was built with its own electric generating plant, operated by a custodian who lived in an apartment located on the third floor. The basement level once housed industrial arts rooms and a home economics kitchen and facilities for agricultural studies. Those well-appointed classrooms and a student garden behind the school were eliminated in the 1930s when the first addition (now demolished) was built.
A legend that nothing could be attached to the exterior of the high school or ownership would revert back to the Rogers family led to the installation of an underground passage from the original building to the addition. Later, free-standing fire escapes were build, again without altering the original structure. When the newest wing of the building was added in the late 1990s, it was determined that the legend was unfounded, allowing the addition to be attached directly to the Rogers building.
The new wing, completed in the year 2000, added updated teaching and lab facilities and improved the high school handicap accessibility, continuing Rogers’ aim to provide for the town’s future."

Taken from the doorway of a small memorial chapel at the local cemetary opened to the public for viewing on Memorial Day. I'm not religious at all but stained glass always fascinates me.
I've been trying for ages to take a decent stained glass photograph... spent ages in the church in Availles Limouzine with tripod and ended up with this . ... i rather like it.

Just had to share this. I am working on a photo project for a church website. They have a small chapel with some amazing stained glass windows.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Halifax, NS.. Love these projects as you gain access to some amazing places.
One of the stained glass windows in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. The cathedral is on the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace and dates from the 12th century.
The black statue on the right, on the north-west wall of the Albany Aisle, (the nave) is of John Knox (c. 1513 – 24 November 1572). He was a Scottish minister, theologian, and writer who was a leader of the country's Reformation. He is the founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

Just playing around in my local village church of St Michaels in Great Cressingham, Norfolk, to see what I could come up with.
I like pressing flowers. I stick them in dictionaries, journals and any other books that I can get my hands on. These are some crocuses I pressed awhile back. They fell out of my journal while I was writting in it. I held them up to the light, and got the idea for this picture.
