#1465 - 2012 Day 4: I like windows. This one is part of the building that houses my local Indian takeaway. I've passed it thousands of times but have never seen it in twilight with these colours.
Light refreshes, and there is always a new subject in the same old places.
The broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments to prevent small crimes such as vandalism, public drinking, and toll-jumping helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening.

This is a window of a house,and not only a window of a house,but also a window of a inner heart,hoping the power from God.
A dimpled window that has seen better (and more intact) days in the stables of Calke Abbey in Derbyshire.

Christmas Shop Window
This shop window is filled with hundreds of glass Christmas baubles, predominantly red and purple. Quite a display for an Interior Design store!
A lot of residents have knick knacks on display in their windows. I like the shells lined up on the sill.

Assignment: Like Night & Day (Diptych)
WIT: A tripod standing in the middle of the floor for five hours. I took the day picture around four and the night time photo at nine. I put the day and night picture together in photoshop. I also did a little cropping.
I walked all over Beacon Hill in the rain this past week. It really was fun because it wasn't raining too hard. Daffodils were everywhere in the window boxes. I guess every one dressed up their homes for Easter. Since the only gardens are the ones "hidden" in back yards, window boxes are "the thing." These bright and cheery daffodils (even in the rain) are only two of the ones I saw.

Engraved glass church windows in Dorset, images engraved on both sides. This was so unusual & bright, a beautiful church on a lovely spring day
Shot for Week 25 of my "52 of Twenty Eleven" flickr group given the theme of "Windows/Doors".
Driving past an old barn not far from my home, I noticed some interesting textures and windows. Knowing the theme for this week, I stopped and asked the owner (Bill) if I could take some pictures of his barn. He was really cool and gave me the OK.
I spent 30 minutes walking around looking for interesting angles and shooting various details, then another 30 minutes chatting with Bill about his home. Turns out his house was built in the 1800s!
The cool thing about this shot for me was getting to know Bill. I'll be sending him a copy of this pic as a sign of appreciation for his willingness to help me out.
Check it out on black. It's just better that way...
One of three windows in the north aisle by Powells, 1917 (these fine windows are particularly badly afflicted by the darkening wash applied to them yeasrs later and would be hugely enhanced if it could be removed).
St Mary's is the parish church of the town of Kidderminster and a grand affair it is too, still mostly an early 16th century building of impressive proportions, its extraordinary length in particular. The tower is a major landmark on the northern edge of the town centre, though sadly the construction of the modern ring-road effectively cuts the church off completely from the rest of the town and it can only be reached via a rather uninviting subway beneath the dual-carriageway, thus it doesn't get the footfall it deserves.
The church is usually approached from the south and it is this aspect that makes the biggest impression, most noticeably for its handsome south-west tower and the richly glazed clerestories of the nave (which appears to be composed more of glass than wall), all fine examples of the late medieval Perpendicular style. The length of the building is remarkable as beyond the nave is not only a decent sized chancel but a further chapel to the east as well (an early 16th century chantry chapel, formerly detached but now more integrated and in use as a parish room). There has however been much restoration owing to the fragility of the grey and red sandstones used in the construction, and thus much of the external stonework was renewed in the Victorian period (when the south chapel and vestries connecting to the chantry chapel were added). On the north side of the chancel is a handsome memorial chapel added in the early decades of the 20th century.
Entry is via the porch in the base of the tower at the south-west corner, where the visitor is greeted by a vast interior space whose lighting is somewhat subdued (especially the chancel). the nave is a classic example of the Perpendicular style and of considerable width, culminating above in the bright clerestories and a flat wooden ceiling. There is much of interest to discover here, particularly the monuments which date from the 15th-17th centuries and include several fine tombs, the earliest being a graceful canopied tomb to a noblewoman in the south aisle and a large brass on the north side. The chancel has three more large tombs with recumbent effiges to members of the Cokesey and Blount families, the latter being of post-Reformation date.
Every window of the church is filled with stained glass, mostly of the Victorian period but much of it rather good. The most handsome window is the early 20th century window by Powell's over the main entrance and there is more glass by the same studio in the nave aisles whilst the nave clerestorey has an attractive sequence of angels holding symbols of the Benedicite by Hardmans' installed at the very end of the 19th century. My first encounter with this church was in the late 1990s when working as part of the team that releaded the entire scheme of windows in the nave clerestorey, thus I got to know these angels very well. Sadly however the glass throughout this church suffers from a disfiguring layer of varnish or shellac (applied as 'blackout' at the beginning of World War II and a substance known as 'speltek' according to someone I spoke to at the church). This was smeared over most windows with a rag (the impressions of which were apparent when we worked on the clerestorey windows) and is not easily removed, but small areas where it has detached show how much brightness has been lost while the windows suffocate under this darkening layer. I hope some day the right solvent can be found to remove this stuff with minimal risk to the glass.
Kidderminster's grand parish church rewards a visit and deserves more visitors than it currently receives. It isn't always open but in recent years prior to the pandemic was generally open for a few hours on most days during the summer months (though best to check times before planning a trip). Don't be put off by the seemingly impenetrable barrier of the ringroad, St Mary's is worth seeking out and the nice people who steward their church would I'm sure like to be able to welcome more people to this fine building.
