On a recent trip to Brattleboro, I caught these cloud reflections in the windows of Marlboro College.
There were lots of windows on Walt's Barn at the Los Angeles Live Steamers Museum in Griffith Park. See: www.carolwood.com/WaltsBarn/
The view from my home a few years back; a room in the Nurse's Accommodation at Brighton General Hospital, Elm Grove, Brighton, East Sussex. A montage made up from a number of poor quality, somewhat lurid, wide angle mobile phone / camera phone snapshots.
The view overlooks Pankhurst Avenue. Whitehawk Hill TV transmitter can be seen in the distance, and also the sea.
The hospital (but not the Nurse's Accommodation building) was once the Victorian Workhouse for Brighton. The "Undeserving Poor" were locked up, forced to work a 12 hour day and made to wear a distinctive uniform. A work colleague once bought a vintage dress, and was then dismayed to be told by her mother that it was such a uniform.
Personalised 1 plate. The best position I could get to snap this car was through a hole in the fence in the adjoining street.
Installation of new stained glass at the west end of the nave, Bidford on Avon church, August 2005.
The new glass was commissioned from Norgrove Studios to commemorate a former parishoner, Fred Spiers.
Stained glass artist Clare Johnson (Clare Barclay since May 2008) designed and executed the window on an abstract intepretation of the themes of Baptism, Confirmation and Afterlife using symbolic colours to suggest the spiritual journey of the soul.
The window is set high at clerestorey level, thus a more pictoral approach (initially favoured by the client) would have been difficult to read. The bold use of colour in Clares design however creates a strong impression at any distance and adds considerable warmth to the west end (used as the baptistry, the starting point for the window's theme).
First a scaffolding tower was erected and the former plain glazing (damaged and patched with previous repairs) removed, each light extracted as a complete piece in it's cast iron casement and preserved (they were extremely heavy!)
Installation of the new stained glass panels was then a fairly swift process. The new lights consisted of two panels each, with the join is cleverly disguised in the leadwork (as are the supporting metal bars which are custom shaped to blend in)
