The east window iin the church of St. Mary the Virgin, Therfield, Hertfordshire. The window is by John Lawson (see the signature) and dated 1961. The main image depicts Jesus' resurrection and the stunned soldiers who had been guarding the tomb.
I'll bet those windows let in a whole lot of light.

One of the never installed Tiffany windows bought by Sarah Winchester. Supposedly, one of the last windows comissioned for the Winchester house. It's likely that the Widow Winchester drew the design for this window herself and mailed it to the Tiffany glass company for them to execute.
There are 13 "jewels" embedded in the design of the window (see the notes to find them all). The number 13 occurs in several different places around the house including a 12-candel chandelier that had a thirteenth candle added by Mrs. Winchester's craftsmen.
The most expensive Tiffany Window on the property is installed in the house here.
This Web window hangs in the "garage" behind a large glass wall with dozens of other never used windows and unused rolls of textured wall covering. This shot by globalglenn is a wide angle that shows more of the windows on display.
And here is another photo of this window in it's current context.
The window is lit from behind with a single light bulb.
Terezin - The Small Fortress
From 1940 to 1945 the Small Fortress served as the prison of the Prague Gestapo. In 1994 a new permanent exhibition was opened here, devoted to the history of the political prison; it bears witness to the persecution of the Czech nation under the Nazi regime during the Second World War, and records the fates of Czech prisoners transferred to other concentration camps within the Nazi German Reich.
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!
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.
