Our Dear Friend Laurie crafted this artwork using glass left over from a church window assignment ....
One of the windows in the Salisbury Cathedral Spire. Some people feel the need to make their mark. It may, or may not be vandalism or graffiti but I think it adds to the character of the glass.
Took on a rainy day and for once my little girl was in the mood to pose for me. I pushed the contrast up a little, set it to B&W and threw a little colour in for good measure.
Vitral de igreja?

Photo taken for the 115 Pictures in 2015 challenge for the topic No. 53: Stained Glass
Having not completed the 114 challenge last year, I roughly worked out that I needed to take around 10 shots per month to keep on track, so I'm pleased that this is my tenth in January. I've realised that all my shots have been indoor ones, so need to get out there soon.
This is a shot of an oversized brandy glass, upside down, with one of my own photos as a background.
The rest of my set for the 115 challenge can be found here
When it gets cold enough for rivers to begin to freeze it is an amazing opportunity to get out there and catch some detailed abstract shots like this. It is great practice for obtaining the correct exposure and sharpness. You don't have to worry about fleeting light and the conditions to be just right..you can just take it, appreciate and capture the beautiful composition nature has created for you.

Some quick photos of the stained glass from inside La Sagrada Familia, there were loads of other tourists stopping to take pictures which made it difficult to stand still.
Coventry Cathedral 1962
A tiny snapshot of a giant work of art that is part of the cathedral.
The artist John Piper was asked to design the stained glass. His view was that with 198 small areas of window to fill, the glass needed dazzling colour and an abstract pattern to create unity.
Working with glassmaker Patrick Reyntiens, he created the window from thousands of differently-sized pieces of glass to visually vary the space and rest the eye.
This beautiful stained glass window is in the Old Courthouse, built in 1909, in Kamloops, British Columbia. It shows the coat of arms for the province of British Columbia.
The work is interesting for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it shows an early design version which did not receive official approval from the Crown and which was later revised. The contentious issue? The placement of the setting sun above the Union Jack flag contradicting the old adage "the sun never sets on the British Empire".
Some of the other elements include: the royal helm and crown, the Crest of Queen Victoria, which later was to be garlanded with dogwood flowers which are the official flower of B.C.; the sun and wavy lines are the flag of B.C. and represent B.C.'s position as the westernmost province with the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean; and, the elk and the bighorn sheep represent, respectively, Vancouver Island and the mainland, each of which were originally separate Crown colonies but which united in 1866 to become British Columbia.
The motto "Splendor Sine Occasu" means, literally, Splendour Without Diminishment but is taken to mean "a shining without a sunset" to emphasize that the sun never sets on the Empire.

The Church of the Holy Rude has several beautiful stained glass windows installed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This window features several well known bible quotations, Matthew 11:28, John 11:25 and John 6:37. Stirling, Scotland.

The pretty stained glass panel beside the front door at my mother-in-law's house.
The door is open and we are looking through the flywire of the screen door.
I added some custom mesh stained glass to my flying peach. I also started throwing pictures on the wall and started placing some great looking vertical potted plants from What's Next.

This is one of the beautiful stained glass windows that we saw in Chateau Lake Louise during our Cosmos Tour.
Sorry I haven't been visiting your photos much. We are in the midst of a dreadful heat wave - almost a week of temps in the 40 C and over. I am also in the throes of a bout of Psoriatic Arthritis and can't sit at the computer for long.
