Everything you ever wanted to know about this building and much, much more here
Based on the dream of St John the Divine, told in the Book of Revelation, this window, installed in the church of St Mary & St Nicolas, Spalding, Lincolnshire in 1951, is by Walter Percival Starmer of Bushey. It is in memory of Dr Thomas Driffill and his wife, Sarah and was given by their daughter, Rebecca Fletcher Driffill.

Another test shot with my new Leica. Again, a portrait by window light, but with different lighting. I exposed for the skin knowing that the background would be dark.

Thank you for looking.
Detail of the new stained glass window then being installed in the south transept facade of Cologne Cathedral.
The main south transept window was destroyed by bombing in 1942 and replaced after the war with plain glass. Only now has colour been restored to these heights, but not without controversy.
The new design by Gerhard Richter is very much contemporary in spirit, being formed of an abstract mosaic of coloured squares, which resemble computer pixels from ground level. Apparently the Archbishop favoured a more representational design showing 20th century martyrs and has been less than chuffed!
The technique too departs from tradition, the coloured glass pieces being resin-bonded to clear backing sheets, eschewing the use of lead altogether. This radical departure is not without some risk, since resin bonded windows from the 1960s and 70s have generally not stood the test of time well, but the technique used here has been meticulously studied first.
The window was installed over the space of a couple of months in summer 2007. At this stage (June) only the lowest section of the window at triforium level had been fitted (the rest was complete by the end of August that year).

Found this little (figuratively, of course) gem out by the road on my way to Smithfield today. Usually, I wouldn't pick something like this up, but upon seeing the "Pentium III" sticker, I figured, hey, at least I could use Windows 98 again. Which, is find of funny, as I've been thinking/talking about finding one with Windows 98 on it for a week or so now, to play some old DOS games I have.
Anyway, there was a piece of paper stuck on it that said "Will not boot, get error message, FREE" or something. Took it home, found out, it's only a CMOS error, as the little battery that keeps the system time in check is dead. Press F1, and all is well.
Anyway, here it is, the Windows 98 boot screen.
