Mill No. 5 is an old textile mill built in 1873. It stood empty for years. The founder and owner, Jim Lichoulas took the old textile mill and restored it. Beautiful architectural details still remain with the 4th and 6th floor being repurposed into shops and eateries along with a movie theater and yoga studio.
Hard sometimes to get the perfect photo in the old town. Here, the stained-glass window in its entirety. I stood up against the wall while taking this with the 85mm lens.
Utilizing the Nexo knights shields and building the framed window on both sides to create the stained glass effect. Only had the 1x2 clear plates to hold the shields up...

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.
I was impressed by the new Springville recreation center where the Utah county swim meet was held. One of the most striking features was a large stained glass window showing a swimmer doing the butterfly stroke. This is a view of the window from inside the building.

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.

They say that keeping your brain active is one of the best ways to stay young and I do believe it. That is I do if things are going well with a project but when they're not it feels more like my brain is fried, toasted, grilled and poached.
Experimenting with abstracts does mean learning curves which remind me of the hairpin turn at the Forks of the Credit (a scenic area north of here with a very twisty road). Sometimes I just sail through the curves and other times the car is in danger of stalling. Each time I attempt an abstract I have to learn something new in Photoshop and while I know the internet is full of more how-to's than you could ever watch on youtube or read in a lifetime, the problem tends to be knowing what to search. Somehow Google just doesn't seem to respond well if I type in "how do you do that shape thing that John Doe did when he posted his abstract?" So it's a lot of trial and error....lots and lots of error.
My late mother's partner, Harry, is 93 years old and rather fragile. He's in a lovely senior's residence around the corner but they're on shutdown to keep all the old folks safe from Covid 19. The problem is that the longer it goes on the worse his confusion and cognitive thinking is becoming. We talk on the phone every morning and his son calls everyday but other than that he is alone in his apartment like everyone else in the buildiing but without the things that help to keep his brain working; things like going to the dining room or chatting with other people in the elevator and no possibility of visitors. Without that sort of stimulation he is experiencing quite a sudden decline.
I suppose my point in this verbosity is that clawing one's way through and around a learning curve seems to keep the neurons firing. Of course, there's always the danger that one could fire up those neurons until there was nothing left but fried brains on toast.

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.
1916-17, by Theo van Doesburg; for a door at the burgomaster's residence in Broek in Waterland. At the Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden.
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.
First tries with my new 50mm f/1.4. Very exciting!

Walking around Christchurch Priory our way from Winchester to Sidmouth where we are staying the night.
Christchurch Priory is an ecclesiastical parish and former priory church in Christchurch in the English county of Dorset (formerly in Hampshire). It is one of the longest parish churches in the country and is larger than 21 English Anglican Cathedrals.
The story of Christchurch Priory goes back to at least the middle of the 11th century, as Domesday says there was a priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Priory is on the site of an earlier church dating from 800AD. In 1094 a chief minister of William II, Ranulf Flambard, then Dean of Twynham, began the building of a church. Local legend has it that Flambard originally intended the church to be built on top of nearby St. Catherine's Hill but during the night all the building materials were mysteriously transported to the site of the present priory. Although in 1099 Flambard was appointed Bishop of Durham, work continued under his successors. A mid-12th century account recording the legend of the Christchurch Dragon indicates that by 1113 the new church was nearing completion under Dean Peter de Oglander. By about 1150 there was a basic Norman church consisting of a nave, a central tower and a quire extending eastwards from the crossing. It was during this period that another legend originated, that of the miraculous beam, which is thought to have brought about the change in the name of the town from Twynham to the present day Christchurch, but in fact the two names both featured in a grant dated AD 954 ('juxta opidum Twinam, id est, Cristescirce').

On Friday the 13th, a mystery package arrived on our front porch! We had not ordered anything and since Christmas was long over with, so we had no idea who it could be from.
To our surprise, inside the box was a funny & adorable stained glass set of silly owls to hang in our window. They have already brightened up the gray winter days and made my husband & I smile!
The gift enclosure said. "We titled these cute little owls, "Dare to be Different," and the gift was from our great-granddaughter, who is five and loves to read. We send her books about all manner of nature subjects. She had been recently reading a book that I had sent her. She decided that we would like these, so her grandparents, facilitated sending the gift! I created this series by taking photos of the owls hanging in our kitchen window and used colorful edits to print out and send to her. I am going to try to compose a story for her about the owls arrival and what they have been doing since their arrival.
