Installed in 1641, the work of local artist, François Bierges, this is one of three roae windows in Auch cathedral.
Read that this month's 2009/365 theme was THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND DOORS OF OUR LIVES so just pointed camera at the window to show what I see when I sit at my desk!
For Window Wednesdays and a MOOC class project.
Here we have two glass windows with reflections and a window that has been bricked up.
The whole of the scene has been camouflaged in a blanket of shadows from a couple of trees near the building.
Captured with iPhone and Hipstamatic's Oggl App, using the Lucifer VI lens and Rock BW-11 Film combination.
The contrast of light and dark were very extreme and this combo really caught that scene well.

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.
A window with obscured view of the opposite roofline from one on the rooms in the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. The building was originally part of the Freemasons Hall next door, but was divided in 1908 to provide elegant dining rooms. Having faded somewhat during the late 20th century, the GCR has been refurbished as conference and banqueting room. Sadly I was only there for the former, though the lunch was very good. The loos are the most distant I've encountered at a conference venue requiring several doors and flights of stairs, a map, asked directions and a modicum of luck.
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.

Kenzie, wake up and open the Gebyok Window.
Gebyok is a Javanese traditional door and window, carved on old teakwood
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.
Window depicting the Annunciation by York-based artist Harry Stammers, 1957.
St Olave's church in Marygate, York stands adjacent to the ancient ruins of St Mary's Abbey, just within the gate of the former monastic precinct.
The church is one of York's less visited city churches but has an impressive interior that culminates in a display of medieval glass in its east window (the chancel itself is a Victorian rebuilding). At the west end the font is given a touch of drama by the tapering modern cover by George Pace.
The church usually seems to be open and welcoming to visitors.

The old cabin
has a window
overlooking a lake.
hidden in summer
when trees are dressed...
yet ever so present
once Autumn arrives...
it doesn't take her long
to make a date
with old man winter..
Their lovers you know..
(doesn't everyone know?)
she sends him autum kisses
made of leaves
dancing in the cold winds..
(she left a few for me
tucked on the window)
Just before He arrives
she changes things..
(green is not
her favorite color..)
she paints them red
yellow and mauve,
orange..even purple..
then she strips them naked
to prove her promice
of dancing
into winter...
I have been told
in late September
the old man stands
at this window
watching Her ......
