I pointed my camera upwards to record the broken window panes of a closed factory in Wellston, Ohio. I find the shapes fascinating--they remind me of those found in an inkblot test.

This was just finished...July 2009. It's a glass on glass mosaic window using stained glass, glass globs, and millifiori beads grouted in black.
That well known downtown store, 'Victoria's Secret' displaying some of the luxury items! With Christmas just around the corner, I am sure there will be many customers looking for that special item!
The Good Shepherd and local scenes. One of the few windows to depict a motor car. Glass by M.F. Bell, 1976. In memory of George Ogg, d.1973.

50 degrees in Wisconsin means opening the windows and getting some crisp fresh air! It's been a long winter!
In memory of Julia Theodora Janet Renall ( died 1938) and her husband, Herbert William Renall (died 1940).
Installed in 1954 and designed by GER Smith of London, who had taken over AK Nicholson's glass studio in 1937 after the death of Nicholson.
It shows a central figure of St Luke, holding a bunch of healing herbs ( his saintly attribute as a doctor) and a book ( his attribute as an apostle and evangelist). The smaller pictures illustrate various episodes from the life of St Luke.
St Mary's church, Prittlewell, Essex.
With the gloomy wet weather of recent, there isn't much to shoot here, so I dig out (as some may be guessing) past unprocessed shots - I've got plenty of those :)
On our way to Sweden we spent a few days in Copenhagen. Not long enough to see everything, but long enough to make me want to return.
The original east window of 1878 was relocated following the extension of 1896 to the west end where it remains today. This three-light window depicts the Transfiguration of Christ, portrayed in mid air flanked by Elijah and Moses with three Apostles reclining below. It is the work of Birmingham stained glass maker Swaine Bourne (formerly of Chance Bros) and dates from 1878.
Dorridge's church of St Philip is a bit of an oddity, something of a surprise if one is expecting a conventional parish church, hidden away in Manor Road marked by neither tower or spire. My first ever glimpse of it was the view from the nearby railway line, passing on a London-bound train and seeing the impressive east gable end standing proudly above the trees nearby. Usually the chancel is the smaller part of a church, a more intimate sanctuary entered from a more spacious nave, but here the arrangement is turned on its head, a humble brick nave followed by a grand stone-built chancel of greater height, part of an aborted late 19th century plan for a more ambitious building that was never realised beyond this point. Ironically thoughts have turned in recent years to further ambitions, and there is a proposal to replace the existing building entirely with a new church & community centre, though as far as I know the plan is aspirational with no firm timetable, and could yet prove too costly a venture to be realised.
The church only dates back as far as 1878 when the present brick nave was built, a mission church that could easily pass for a school-room or village hall were it not for the traceried window facing the road. Entry is by a small timber porch on the south side crowned by a tiny bellcote. Beyond is the awkward join of the newer chancel (which overshadows the earlier part) built in 1896-7 by J.A.Chatwin as the start of his bold new church which never progressed beyond this point. It is a more impressive sight from the south and east from where it is easier to visualise how the completed building might have looked, doubtless like many other late Victorian suburban churches had the new nave and tower been supplied. As it stands it might look distinctly peculiar, but is all the more unique as a result.
Inside the contrasting dimensions of nave and chancel are equally apparent like two different buildings spliced together, the former appearing like a long narrow antechamber to the latter space which opens out into a side chapel and vestries beyond. The nave is flooded with light from the plain, almost domestic-looking windows beneath a simple timber roof, itself lightened with ochre-coloured paint. The sanctuary by contrast is marked by much more subdued lighting, the main illumination coming from the large five-light east window which seems a little overpowering for the more down-to-earth nave.
The church is usually kept locked outside of services, and it remains to be see whether it will survive in its present form or if it is demolished and replaced by a new building.
