Window at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Bilton, Warwickshire.
This composite panel was made up of 'leftover' pieces of one of the former side windows of the nave, displaced when the church was extended in 1990. Other parts have been incorporated into windows two similar windows nearby.
Originally built in 1958 on a traditional plan with an oblong nave and chancel in one chamber, the church was dramatically re-organised and extended in the early 1990s under the guidance of Fr Paul Chamberlain, wherein the axis of the church was re-orientated by 90 degrees with a centralised granite block altar in what was the heart of the old nave. The 'south' nave wall was removed to allow an extended aisle and ambulatory on this side. The former main entrance narthex was blocked up to create what is now the Blessed Sacrament chapel.
One of the most dramatic innovations in the re-ordered church is the full immersion fount, a cruciform marble pool set into the floor before the altar, evoking the earliest method of Christian Baptism by immersion in the River Jordan.
The two main stained glass windows on either side of the old nave were removed and re-sited in truncated form in the new extension, and in the place of the northern one a large crucifix (painted by Fr Chamberlain) has been set up as a focus behind the new altar. The six high windows on this wall are the latest addition to the church and are my own work from 1999.

Seen alternative below. I think these two are a toss-up. Do you have a preference?
On a personal note: About five minutes after I took this photo, I got busted by a security guard. He said that I wasn't supposed to take photos in the mall. I said " Sorry, I didn't know" and left. But, I will return!
Millennium window in the south aisle by Andrew Taylor, an attractive display of rich colour incorporating scenes of rural life.
St Mary's at Shawbury was my last church of the day, but as it was now nearly 6pm hopes of getting inside were fading, but the door yielded nonetheless!
It is marked by a particularly fine late medieval pinnacled west tower. Much of the building is otherwise late Norman, including the nave arcades with some interesting carved capitals. The font is Norman too, a tub carved with purely non figurative ornament including rope molding.
The wide interior culminates in a Perpendicular chancel with a plain glazed east window, but nearby is one window crammed full of early 15th century fragments including bits of an Annunciation and canopywork. The modern window in the south aisle with rural, secular imagery really grew on me.

As I looked through this restaurant window, it looked like the shadows were taking on life of their own.
Van Gogh is quoted to have said... “Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.”
I wonder... If this painting really had a life... what would it say to you. Would it speak, would it sing, or recite poetry. Or maybe, it would just stand there and stare.
What does this painting say to you??
PS: Another one from my Snap Art series. :)

Their lovers you know..

made of leaves
dancing in the cold winds..

tucked on the window)
Just before He arrives

to prove her promice
of dancing
into winter...

This woman was so serene, sitting in her window watching the sun set saturday evening. She lives in a retirement home near downtown Madison. I stood down in the yard shooting her for probably 5 minutes and and was just so sweet.
