A few of Winterthur's many windows taken during a passing snow storm Feb. 26 2014.
While I was here presenting a technology overview to the graduate students in our Art Conservation program, we were pounded by a short passing storm. We got about 4 inches of fresh snow in 90 mins.
That on top of old snow, slush and ice made getting back to Newark an interesting endeavor in my Smart Car.
The Smart and I did fine unlike many others I passed along the side of the road exchanging insurance information.
If you're in the area, this is a wonderful place to visit. The house contains a vast collection of American Decorative Arts and the grounds and children's garden are really lovely to stroll through.

Thames Water ( then located in Roseberry Avenue ) commissioned the striking East window to be erected by A.E. Buss of Goddard & Gibbs in 1962. The window depicts the risen glory of Christ ascending. The grey logo of Thames Water is central at the base and commemorates the building of the New River, between 1604 and 1613 by Sir Hugh Myddelton. Dame Alice Owen, a great local benefactor, is depicted on the left with the coat of arms of the Corporation of the City of London (who remain patrons of the parish today). To the right is The coat of arms of Islington and a picture of the Angel Inn one time first coaching house on leaving the city.
I hauled the podzilla out to Broley last fall to look for more images. I posted several then. Viewing will have to be small or as large as you can manage; the window screen will moire otherwise. I am not entirely sure the screen is sufficient to keep the weather outside? The river bottom scene beyond this window seemed pretty mellow to me but it sat unedited. I knew the range involved was a real stretch even as a RAW. This was an exercise in trying to capture everything. I remember that I refused to completely give up on the autumn that already packed its bag and left for climates warmer than the St.Vrain Valley, taking with it our glorious season. The foliage is pretty crusty here.
Again, there was a blank sky that was less than inspiring on this day. This last autumn pass mostly consisted of keeping the foliage out of the frame but I liked dangling autumn clues in the small windows. So very like MS product, small in functionality but very leaky. I am still not willing to let this autumn slip away and I made another pass the other day. I got a couple of shots of the foliage that was still deteriorating.
I am out here at Broley, the Boulder County greenbelt investments in mosquito breeding. The bold sky is gone, the rippling water gone, the bold clouds gone, my favorite foliage, gone or brown and most cattails seeding the next year's supply. I shot a few pictures and kept the sky out of the frame. The colorful autumn foliage remains in this sheltered location.

Display for ToroLUG at Sherway Gardens Lego Store
This is the display for September 2012 at Sherway Gardens. The majority of the display was built by Rook, I built the streetcar and subway. I hope people will appreciate a bit of local Toronto flavour for the Community Window this month.
This ornament means a lot to me. With the sun shining and the reflection in the window it hit a chord on this day.
Chastleton House is an early 17th century manor house open to the public (National Trust). Like Stanway House, the owners were not been able to afford to keep it up and the NT has not invested in restoring the furnishings or interior decor. Nevertheless, there are a lot of interesting wood carved wall panels, elaborate fire places (the original owner had one such fireplace installed in a bedroom to impress his wealthy neighbor), a multi-floor free-flying staircase, 17th century tapestry, medieval bible boxes, etc.
