The St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church at the Treurenberg hill in Brussels, Belgium. In French, it is called Cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule and in Dutch Sint-Michiels- en Sint-Goedelekathedraal, usually shortened to "Sint-Goedele".
In 1047, Lambert II, Count of Leuven founded a chapter in this church and organized the transportation of the relics of Saint Gudula, housed before then in Saint Gaugericus Church on Saint-Géry Island. The patron saints of the church, archangel St. Michael and the martyr St. Gudula, are also the patron saints of the city of Brussels.
In the thirteenth century, the cathedral was renovated in the Gothic style. The choir was constructed between 1226 and 1276. The façade was completed in the mid-fifteenth century.
It is an archiepiscopal cathedral of the Archbishop of Mechlin-Brussels, the Primate of Belgium, currently Archbishop André-Mutien Léonard. It is located in the national capital and therefore often used for Catholic ceremonies of national interest, such as royal marriages and state funerals.
The south tower contains a 49-bell carillon by the Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry on which Sunday concerts are often given.

I walked all over Beacon Hill in the rain this past week. It really was fun because it wasn't raining too hard. Daffodils were everywhere in the window boxes. I guess every one dressed up their homes for Easter. Since the only gardens are the ones "hidden" in back yards, window boxes are "the thing." These bright and cheery daffodils (even in the rain) are only two of the ones I saw.

St Editha, Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Dean Memorial Window, 1940 - detail.
By Florence Camm (1874-1960).
To the Glory of Almighty God and in loving memory of Esther Dean who died the 11th day of October 1939. This memorial was placed here by her husband Herbert Dean.
Florence Camm spent all her life in Smethwick, running the successful Camm stained glass company with her two brothers at a time when women artists and designers were struggling to be taken seriously. Florence was a stained glass designer, painter and decorative metalworker. She exhibited 43 times at the Royal Academy in London and also showed at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Royal Scottish Academy.
Florence was the daughter of Thomas William Camm who was born in 1839 in Spon Lane, West Bromwich. He set up the TW Camm stained glass business in Smethwick and Florence and her two brothers, Walter and Robert, continued after he died in 1912. Florence was taught stained glass design by the arts and crafts designer Henry Payne (1868-1940).
Robert died in 1954, Florence in 1960 and Walter in 1967. The firm closed at about the same time. The studio in the High Street in Smethwick was demolished in the 1980s and a shop now stands on the site.
This is one I posted when I first joined Flickr and one of my own personal favorites!!!Windows of Ireland - Gas station window in Ennistymon of County Clare with the ivy growing around it taking on the colors of fall. Reflection in the window is of the house across the street. Ennistymon is a market town close to Lahinch, it is located in the north west of county Clare Ireland. Ennistymon may be reached directly from Ennis by the N85 road through Inagh. The town is known for the traditional shop fronts of its centre and the lively “craic" pubs to be found here during the tourist season. The history of the town is relatively short, it was established as a town only in 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada, which features extensively in the local history all along the Co.Clare coast. The Falls Hotel was originally the residence of the McNamara family, and has since been extended to a hotel. A small river - the Inagh - runs by the town, and descends by means of some small waterfalls, known locally as 'the falls' or 'the cascades'. The best places to view these are from the road bridge and - better still - from inside The Falls Hotel, a short walk off the main street.
