East window in All Saints at Lullington, Derbyshire. A magnificent example of the work of the renowned Belgian Studio of J.B.Capronnier 1862.
This was a complete surprise to me, and the real treasure of this church. The medallions show various scenes from the Old & New Testaments and are superbly executed, much use being made of enamels to get the flesh tints for the beautifully detailed figures.
Sadly most of my pictures of individual scenes did not come out well, the light being poor; I could have done with a tripod and didn't want to delay the keyholder further by getting closer and more engrossed in the glass.

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.

Finally got the update!

What better way to celebrate window Wednesday than to stand in a window doing the Wednesday Dance. In the red picture frame is Jenna Ortega who plays Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series Wednesday and originated the dance.
I do not do the dance nearly as well, but I do have a cool mask and hat.
We're Here shakes it out to Window Wednesday.

I started a series on my blog called "My Neighborhood" that focuses on some of the characters and things in my neck of the woods in Manhattan, the East Village. I include a few things that aren't necessarily there.
The cathedral of St Etienne in Chalons sur Marne (renamed the more tourist friendly Chalons en Champagne in 1998) is unusual amongst French cathedrals in that it barely registers on the city's skyline, having no major tower or spire (the two pyramid capped belfries on the transepts barely extend above roof level). There once was a lofty steeple over the crossing, but this collapsed in the 17th century, damaging the choir which still betrays baroque alterations to this day, as does the west facade completed at this time (which looks oddly stuck on to the gothic structure behind).
The bulk of the cathedral dates from the 13th & 14th centuries and the nave posseses some fine stained glass from both ends of the gothic era.
Great set of windows in the Christ Episcopal Church in Middletown, New Jersey. Lovely historical building with a very old cemetery.
These windows seen in "Le Ballon Rouge" (1956) still exist. This photo was taken in July 2011. (The balloon comes from the 1956 book and was superimposed here.)
This is a page from FURORE magazine #21 detailing the many Paris locations of "The Red Balloon".

Nothing too amazing about this photo but there is something about the way her hand looks that I think is pretty cool.
Sala degli Animali at Museo Pio Clementino, is a superb collection of some 150 representations of animals from Classical antiquity.
The Berlin S-Bahn tracks run right across Museumsinsel, between the Bodemuseum and the Pergamon. As they pass, the train windows capture a reflection of the museum windows by the tracks.
