I see this van all the time as I drive by Echo Park Lake. In fact, I've taken photos of it on several occasions, but this was the first one I've been happy with.
Those windows are better than some of ones on our house.
Fourteenth in a series.
Notre Dame window in Brugges. Unfortunately it seems that Brugges has a construction competition on at the moment. Everything seems to be covered or scaffolded.
It took two centuries (13th-15th) to build the church. Among the many art treasures of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk is a beautiful Carrara marble Madonna and Child sculpture by Michelangelo.
This statue, made in 1504, was the only one of Michelangelo's works to leave Italy in his lifetime and is today one of the few that can be seen outside Italy. It was bought by a Bruges merchant, Jan van Mouskroen, and donated to the church in 1506.
The church also contains a painting of the Crucifixion of Christ by Anthony van Dyck and a rococo extravaganza of a pulpit, designed by Bruges artist Jan Antoon Garemijn.
Also impressive are the side-by-side bronze tomb sculptures of the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, who died in 1477, and his daughter, Mary of Burgundy, who died at age 25 after falling from her horse in 1482.
A windowpane under the tombs allows you to view the 13th- and 14th-century graves of priests.
Been really busy these past few weeks, and I recently got a chance to walk through the Random Passage Historic Site located in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
It didn't take me long to fall in love with the place. Random Passage was a TV Mini Series that aired on CBC, I always wanted to go there and while exploring the Bonavista Peninsula I got the chance.
It is one of my favorite places and here is a photo of one of the old houses that was left there from the TV set that provides tourists the opportunity to step back in time to learn about the obstacles and opportunities our forebears faced during early settlement.
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!
This was taken at Cotehele, a National Trust Property in Cornwall. Looking through the window, you wonder at all the history that has been glimpsed through it over many years.
Rose window in the gable of the west facade of St Mary's at Temple Balsall.
Probably installed c1840, and possibly commissioned from Evans of Shrewsbury, along with the larger window immediately below it.
Hace un mes se lanzó la nueva actualización de Windows 10. Todo era alegría tanto para los desarrolladores como para los usuarios hasta que llegó este gran problema: las webcams dejaron de funcionar.

I noticed the sun illuminating the windows of this small shrimp boat a bright orange. I just couldn't resist setting up the camera and tripod to allow the setting sun to burst through the window and produce the start burst. I'm quite happy with the way this image turned out, in fact it's one of my favorite images I've ever created, as of today anyway.

This was taken at the school's library. There were these huge windows and ancient books. Great to have a model in town.
p.s. Real comments, not spam appreciated! Thanks. :)
The backside of the McLeod Building, downtown Edmonton. I think this is my favourite heritage building in the city. I love the fire escape and massive wall of narrow windows. I actually envisioned this one as B&W before I shot it.
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovation
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, !!
South chancel window depicting Simeon holding the infant Christ by John Hardman Studios 1893.
St Andrew's church at Cleeve Prior is marked by an elegant west tower dating from the 15th century though the rest of the building dates back at least two centuries earlier. It consists of nave and chancel and a simple south transept chapel.
There is some notable glass, mostly Victorian but also some from the Arts & Crafts movement. The church is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.

St. Rumbold's Cathedral (Dutch: Sint-Romboutskathedraal) is the Belgian metropolitan archiepiscopal cathedral in Mechelen, dedicated to Saint Rumbold, Christian missionary and martyr who had founded an abbey nearby.
His remains are rumoured to be buried inside the cathedral. State-of-the-art examination of the relics honoured as Saint Rumbold's and kept in a shrine in the retro-choir, showed a life span of about 40 years and a death date between 580 and 655, while tradition had claimed 775 AD.
Construction of the church itself started shortly after 1200, and it was consecrated in 1312, when part had become usable. From 1324 onwards the flying buttresses and revised choir structure acquired characteristics that would distinguish Brabantine Gothic from French Gothic.
After the city fire of 1342, the Master Mason Jean d'Oisy managed repairs and continued this second phase, which by the time of his death in 1375 formed the prototype for that High Gothic style. His successors finished the vaults of the nave by 1437, and those of the choir by 1451.
During the final phase of 1452-1520, the tower was erected, financed by pilgrims and later by its proprietor, the City. Designed to reach 600 Mechlinian feet or about 167 metres, higher than any church tower would ever attain (Ulm Minster has measured 161 metres since the 19th century).
The very heavy St. Rumbold's tower was built on what had once been wetlands, though with foundations only three metres deep its site appears to have been well-chosen. After a few years, in 1454, its chief architect Andries I Keldermans constructed the Saint Livinus' Monster Tower (or St.-Lievensmonstertoren as it is called in Dutch) in Zierikzee (in the present-day Netherlands), where leaning or sagging of the tower (now 62 metres but designed for ca. 130) could wreck the church.
This concern led to fully separate edifices, a solution also applied in Mechelen. At both places, in the early 16th century the upper part of the tower was abandoned, not for technical but for financial reasons.
St Rumbold's should have been topped by a 77-metre spire but only seven metres of this were built, hence the unusual shape. A deliberately weak connection closed the gap between tower and church upon finishing the construction.
The church has functioned as a cathedral since 1559. In the 18th century, each capitals' surrounding ornament of sculpted cabbage leaves that had been an inspiration for numerous Brabantine Gothic churches, was replaced with a double ring of crops.

Afternoon light forms shadows behind a window at the Whitney Museum, New York City
This photograph was made near a window on one of the upper floors of the New Whitney Museum in Manhattan. At the west end of the upper floors, near the end of the main corridors outside the gallery, there are small windows that overlook the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance. At some point on every visit to the Whitney I find myself standing next to one of these windows overlooking this view and trying to make photographs. (I have my rituals — I also go out onto the various terraces and platforms outside the east side of the building and photograph Manhattan and people.)
I don't think it is a secret that I'm attracted to patterns and shapes, and the angles of shadows cast by light coming through windows often interests me. I only partly see a subject like this as what it objectively is — I'm more likely to think of it simply as light and shadow and texture and shape.
