Noticed this disheveled guy with puke on his pants standing outside a cafe stalking a Chinese girl sitting inside. The girl was sitting with a guy both reading books, but the stalker was only interested in the girl. The couple focused intently on their reading hoping the stalker would just give up, but to no avail.... this was no ordinary stare down.
The couple gave up, and left; i didn't take notice if they simply moved to another table, or exited the cafe as i lost interest at that point.... but what the heck, i came back a min later to see if there was more...
The staff inside noticed the guy standing in the window, but didn't want to get involved. The other customers in the cafe didn't seem to notice, nobody on the streets seemed to care.
The stucco around the window was white, shaded by a palm tree, but a wine soak gave it that deep purplish-green color

The Easter or Resurrection Window, my latest stained glass creation installed at the very end of January 2016. A change of direction from previously submitted designs based on the ideas of the parish priest, following complications with a prior submission. Easter morning is suggested at the heart of a sunburst with the shilouetted crosses and empty tomb beneath.
The impressive 1950s Roman Catholic church of Christ the King in Kingstanding, one of Birmingham's northern suburbs is a church I have got to know well as a result of my latest stained glass project, to design and make two large three-light windows flanking the sanctuary, the first of which was installed recently (march 7th / 8th 2011).
The church is a large brick building which originally had a rather spartan, barn-like interior as a result of it's brick finish, but thanks to the initiative of Fr Michael White the interior has been recently transformed and much improved by a more sympathetic plaster finish, which has lightened the interior since 2007. Another more recent developement is the church's new community centre constructed in 2009 which is now joined to the main facade on Warren Farm Road.
The church contains some fine examples of stained glass from the 1950s and 60s, principally the liturgical west window in the facade which features a bold Christ in majesty flanked by angels on a vibrant background. Glass of a similar date and style is situated in three of the side chapels and spaces that flank the main nave with busts of the Virgin & Child, St Theresa of Lisieux and St Stephen. A smaller 1980s panel of St John the Baptist was recently moved from the 'west' end to the new community hall extension.
The 'east' wall by contrast has no windows, just a flat wall with a wooden Crucifix at it's centre. My new Easter/Resurrection themed window has just been installed immediately to the left, complimenting my previous Nativity window in the corresponding position to the right (the treatment of each window is quite different, owing to a change of direction and rejection of a more sympathetic design by the Diocese).

This modern ( 1997) stained glass window in Shrewsbury Abbey by Jane Gray depicts the daily life of the Benedictine Order, a theme well-suited to this former Benedictine Abbey. It is dedicated to St Benedict and was initiated by the Freemen of Shrewsbury. It also acts as a memorial to Edith Pargeter, who, under the pen name Ellis Peters, set a series of novels featuring Brother Cadfael, a fictional hero, in Shrewsbury Abbey and its surroundings. It is remarkably difficult to photograph as it is impossible to stand far enough back to frame it squarely.
Boo Windows is a dive site with beautiful soft coral and sea fans surrounding a small rock island. This rock island has a hole carved out by the waves where the sun shines down and opens a heavenly window to the sky.
I sent my friend a screenshot of Window Vista's "Problem Reports and Solutions". This is what I go back from him. All credits go to him.
