Detail of the east window by Leonard Evetts 1951, depicting Christ flanked by two figures, presumably St Paul and the Venerable Bede.
St Paul's in Jarrow was the site of one of the most famous Anglo Saxon monasteries in England, famed as the residence of the Venerable Bede. The monastery was founded by Benedict Biscop in c681 and its church survives as the chancel of the present building (with a few later modifications). A few years later a second church (a larger building with aisles) was built on the site of the present nave which remained a separate building until the two were linked by the construction of what is now the lower half of the central tower in c800, but the upper half wasn't built until shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1072, and thus is still decidedly Anglo Saxon in design (the lower half of the structure wasn't originally intended to become a tower which accounts for its unusual rectangular design).
Following the Reformation the monastery was dissolved and St Paul's became a parish church. Substantial ruins of the old monastic buildings remain on the south side of the nave, mostly dating from the Norman period. The old Saxon nave had sadly fallen into disrepair by 1782 and was demolished; it was rebuilt in 1866 by George Gilbert Scott in a simplified early Gothic style with a north aisle. Externally the two halves have weathered harmoniously and the newer parts are less obvious.
Inside the church the eye is drawn to the ancient chancel beyond the mysterious space beneath the low arches of the tower. The original tiny window-openings remain in the side walls and one is even glazed with a roundel of Anglo Saxon glass excavated at the site and leaded into an abstract composition in more recent years, and is thus the oldest coloured glass to be seen in any British church. Further pieces from the site (including some leaded into more complete patterns and even a figure) can be seen at the nearby Bede Museum at Jarrow Hall a short walk to the north.
St Paul's is one of the most historic and ancient churches in the country and is well worth a visit. The church is open most days, though it is currently struggling to raise money for urgent repairwork to the ancient tower. Opening times are given on their website.

Casey and Connors Memorial window
So back at our place of accomodation I was looking around wondering what to take a picture of when I noticed my bedroom window had this view. I thought the outside plants and the shape/style of the unit across the courtyard was interesting. I set my LX on the window sill and adjusted several times to get the frame I was looking for, snapped this one image.
Right after I saw movement from inside just before both blinds were pulled down. Eeek! I discreetly took my camera off the windowsill but I know whoever it was, saw me and took action.
If you look at the right window pane you can see an outline of a figure head. I did not notice prior. He/She was probably watching me the whole time.

Esterházy Mansion and Artists' Studio (Esterhazy-kastély, Alkotóház), Szigliget.
The classicist palace was built in the early 18th century. In 1953 it became home to the Writers' Studio (Irók Alkotóháza), later of musicians and painters. Many of the nearby manorial buildings are listed heritage.
After Count Pál Esterházy bought the palace and its estates in 1912 it was given its final form. It was through extensive architectural redesign that its current, unified form was achieved. The results of this work are the terraces and the rooms below them, the small towers, the mansard roof, and the formation of the roofline and the overall view of the front facade. The vernacular Baroque and Classicist segments of the house are well separated. Later renovations were made in order to suit the needs of the Studio.
The park is a nature reserve and is open to visitors.

نشاهد العديد من النوافذ… بعضها متلألأة كوجه القمر
وبعضها مظلمة كالليل الهتون !
بعضها يخفي حزنا عميقا ….وبعضها يطلق “زغرودة” الفرح !
ماذا يوجد خلف تلك النافذة ؟
طفل جائع ؟
رجل مريض لا يجد من يزوره ؟
ملاك نائم ؟
إمرأة تحمل طفلها الوحيد وتعانق الحلم؟
طالبه تحاول بجهد استيعاب الفصل الأخير؟
ماذا يوجد خلف تلك النافذة ؟
اسرة مجتمعة …؟
شابة ترقص فرحا لقرب زفافها ؟
هدهدة جده؟
شاب يجمع ذكرياته في حقيبة السفر متوجها الى المطار لاكمال دراسته ؟
و…
ابتسم…..
ترى.. ما دخلي انا بتلك النوافذ !
للنوافذ أيضاً اسرارها..
