A walkway with window shades, Getty Center
I visit the Getty Center (perhaps once or so each year) as much to photograph the architecture as to see the art. The overall effect of the space, on the large and small levels, is stunning. It sits on top of a ridge with long views over the Los Angeles basin and out to see near Santa Monica. The Center sprawls along the top of the ridge, with many levels to the buildings and with an unusual garden below. The details are also fascinating — among other things, rectangular forms are reflected in almost all aspects of the design, yet there are things that are set off at odd angles from this regularity.
I made this photograph in a small interior area, more or less a sort of hallway and stairway with a walkway crossing in front of a wall of windows that are covered by translucent shades. As I looked at it I thought of it as a sort of cubist subject, and I found the colors (the various tans and the strips of muted blue sky beyond) and varying decrees of opacity/transparency very interesting.

Papa Luna's window- when he moved to Peñiscola he wanted a window in his room that faced towards Rome. He was called the 'Anti'Pope'- although there is some controversy as to who the REAL anti pope was...

East window of the south aisle at Ibstock c1970s.
The church of St Denis stands in semi isolation on the fringe of the large village of Ibstock. It is an impressive building dating mainly from the 14th century, dominated by a sturdy steeple at the west end. Inside there is a good mixture of glass from late 19th to mid 20th century dates and the building is clearly well used and cared for.
The church is normally locked outside of services, but we were given an especially warm welcome here by the ladies on stewarding duty whilst the church was open for the day.
Put some spots of honey on the edge of a water barrel and soon attracted a window gnat - liked the interference colouring on the wings.

The millennium window, St Mary's parish church, Carlton, Beds. It is the work of John Lawson of Goddard & Gibbs Studio. Giant tongue of flame, representing the Holy Spirit, come down on the community, past and present. In each light is a symbol - the cross for faith, the anchor for hope and the heart for charity.
This window was designed by the famed Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, whose work kicked off the Art Nouveau movement in Paris.

Clement Heaton (1824-1882).
James Butler (1830-1913).
Robert Turnill Bayne (1837-1915).
Clement Heaton, the son of a Methodist minister in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, was in 1851 a glass painter for William Holland of Warwick. He was in London by 1853 and briefly in business alone before going into partnership with James Butler in 1855. Around 1860 the two briefly shared premises with Clayton and Bell, an association of lasting importance, as the third member of the firm, Robert Turnill Bayne, who was also from Warwick and became chief designer in 1862, was an employee of theirs. Heaton pioneered the use of softer colours, but Bayne’s advent brought the firm to widespread attention. Most of their earlier glass was gothic in style, but the firm adapted to later influences, notably that of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The firm was used widely by Sir Arthur Blomfield, but in later years less of its output was glass for churches. Heaton’s son Clement John joined for a short time, but fell out with his partners. The firm continued until 1953 under descendants of other partners, after which most of its archives were destroyed for lack of interest.
Amongst other important commissions, Frederic Shields designed the windows in the Chancel of St Ann's Church, Manchester. He drew out a complete scheme for the church's stained glass based upon the theme of a Shepherd. The east windows behind the altar and the north and south aisles all have this theme, and were the work of Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
