East window of the chancel portraying Christ at Emmaus, the work of Christopher Charles Powell of Highgate, London 1938. In the process of looking for a signature from a stepladder I was able to see the architectural panels at the bottom, normally hidden from view by the reredos.
A grand 14th century building with proud west tower and aisled nave.The earliest part is the south door which is a good late Norman piece. It leads to a fairly dark interior, very much scraped. The chancel is more restored, having been largely rebuilt in 1858.
The best features here are the monuments, with good early effigies of Thomas & Alice de Wolvey c1300 at the west end of the north aisle (annoyingly a funeral bier has been stashed next to it which blocks closer inspection). At the opposite end of the north aisle is another tomb with effigies, but badly mutilated ones of early 17th century date (Thomas Ashley and wife, 1603), alas in a tight and heavily cluttered corner and very difficult to see. The damage to these figures occured when the north aisle roof fell in in the 17th century; it seems wood was an expensive commodity back then since the broken old beams were re-used, which necessitated moving the entire north wall inwards by about 2ft!
The church is generally kept locked and alarmed, and this being my third visit without access I tried a couple of numbers with limited success, then the vicar just happened to stroll into the churchyard and kindly agreed to let me inside. It was certainly worth persevering and I'm happy to have got in at last!
The Verney memorial window in the north aisle at Lighthorne is distinguished by a fine representation of St Elizabeth of Hungary in it's left hand light, shown holding flowers and surrounded by birds, beautifully detailed and a late work by Florence Camm, 1946.
For several years the same beggar was on the bridge. --- This corner of the campo is a spot where older gondoliers enjoy hanging out.

Remember George Barrett who fell in the Great War,"reported missing" Gallipoli 6th August 1915 .- Church of All Saints, Braunston Rutland
East window c1870 showing Christ flanked by SS Paul & John; Pevsner suggests the window may be by Evans, but I would consider the studio of O'Connor a more likely candidate.
St Michael's at Lilleshall spans the Middle Ages with the nave largely late Norman in it's fabric, a 13th century chancel and a late medieval perpendicular west tower. There has been much restoration in the Victorian period. The most significant feature externally is the south doorway, now sheltered by a Victorian porch, which is a fine example of late Norman transitional architecture (similar work remains at the nearby ruins of Lilleshall Abbey).
The interior betrays it's more recent restorations in it's early 20th century furnishings and mixture of Victorian stained glass. But the older features are well worth seeing, the earliest being the Norman font with it's unusual non-figurative decoration set in arcading, and surrounded by a collection of medieval floor tiles. At the west end is a large Royal Arms of Charles II painted on wood.
On the north side of the chancel is the large monument to Sir Richard & Lady Leveson (d.1661 and 1674 respectively) in contrasting black and white marbles. The effigies of the deceased are shown reclining, one above the other.

The church of St Peter at Martley is one of the most rewarding in Worcestershire. Dating back to Norman times, the aisleless building we see today was largely remodelled in the 14th century with the west tower added a century later.The stonework throughout is of an attractive rusty-red hue.
Inside the old timber ceiling draws the eye, creating a tunnel-like effect since there is little structural division between nave and chancel. The chancel contains substantial areas of 14th century red-line wall painting, giving an unusually complete impression of the original medieval decoration.
At the west end is the stunning Millennium windoy by Tom Denny, a rich display of subtle imagery in shades of gold.
More flint and brick.
Business trip to Blakeney in Norfolk (yes - I know it's nice work if you can get it!)
This deralict building was near Buu Long park and we took a lot of photos there.
Biên Hòa is a city in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, about 20 miles (32 km) (30 kilometers) east of Saigon, to which Bien Hoa is linked by Vietnam Highway 1. In 1989 the estimated population was over 300,000. And now in 2005, population increased to 541,495, and some estimates show that the city has 604,548 people in 2007
Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from the northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa as part of Operation Passage to Freedom.
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force operated Bien Hoa Air Base near the city. Nonetheless, a significant number of the city's residents sympathized with, or were members of, the Viet Cong. Mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged from residential districts in Bien Hoa.
With regard to entertainment, the city includes several amusement parks, night clubs and restaurants lining the Dong Nai River. Construction has increased rapidly (with many Western-style houses and villas under development), and the real estate market has experienced a series of boom cycles since the mid-1990s. The retail market still includes the many ad hoc bazaar-type markets and shop-fronts common to most of Vietnam, but now also includes air-conditioned, enclosed shopping malls, one of which, a Big C branch, includes a KFC restaurant, a Western-style grocery store, a bowling alley and video arcade, among others.
Here's the other side of the red house from the last photo. I went back to get a close-up shot of the window with the lace curtain; it's such a great shape. Unfortunately, I concluded the angle is wrong unless I trespass on the neighbor's property. It's a lovely window and a gorgeous house anyway!
...and frosting, and sprinkles, and chocolate chunks and...
...of course the sweetest of foodie cliches.
HCS!

Shop window in Ashland, Oregon.
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.
I see this van all the time as I drive by Echo Park Lake. In fact, I've taken photos of it on several occasions, but this was the first one I've been happy with.
Those windows are better than some of ones on our house.
