You can see the melting snow in the driveway.
Tonight - ice storm! (post script - We were spared the ice and just got rain.)
Yes, this is the window the black bird so graciously posed behind so I could take that picture.
My brother Jonathan visited from VA and wrote and illustrated his own "facts of life" next to my fading HSR characters.
I have recently read an article from a wedding photographer who never uses a flash. relying on natural light aided by an occasional reflector. Needless to say the results she achieved were remarkable.
It was in my head when I took this (unawares) portrait of an old friend of mine as he stared into space for a moment.

This red brick structure in Charlotte Court House, Virginia dates from about 1825. It presumably began as a tavern then became a store for general merchandise and an office building. It is in a state of disrepair but is slated for preservation by the APVA. The pedimented front gable is a classic feature of Federal-style architecture. The facade is Flemish Bond and the sides are 5-course American bond. Old photographs show that the structure once had a portico with two tall columns; however, when the street was widened in 1954, the portico became a casualty. A single window is above the Federal-style entrance. Two 6/6 windows presently flank the entry, but in a 1928 photo shows that the building had two 9-light store windows. Tucker's Store gained the name after the owners and operators of a mercantile store at this location. The building is one of 4 brick buildings in a row built in similar style.
This building is part of the Charlotte Court House Historic District (Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources ID: 185-0023; the building's ID is 185-23-480. The entire district was placed on the Natrion Register of Historic Places 8 Feb 1995. NHRP #95000023.

You can imagine lutes playing in the background, as you look over the Quercob Region of the Pyrenees from Château de Puivert, France.
Three of the sixteen double-hung windows I crafted, cut glass, glazed and adjusted for their not-quite square openings in my chicken coop-turned-woodshop.

Stained glass in the east window at Branston by Keith New, 1965.
All Saints church at Branston is a remarkable building, its slender spire sits upon a Saxon tower promising the visitor a building of great antiquity, whilst the nave and aisles betray a 14th century date (clerestorey probably added a century later) followed by a chancel whose style suggests a 13th century origin given its lancet-headed windows. It is only the eastern face of the chancel with its unusually designed 20th century 'lattice' window that hints at the major changes inside.
At Christmas 1962 a fire broke out in the chancel causing widespread damage to the interior of the church. The chancel itself was gutted, whilst much of the roof over the nave and the north aisles was also destroyed, though happily the late medieval carved wooden benches in the nave survived intact. The church then had the good fortune to employ architect George Pace to restore the building, which he did by extensively remodelling the ruined chancel (replacing the east wall with the latticed window mentioned earlier) and replacing the roof and furnishings in his trademark linear style, which balances both medieval and modern form.
The resulting interior is truly a thing of beauty, a hugely successful blending of ancient and modern, with something of the best of each. The focal point of the interior is now the superb east window by Keith New, a rich abstract composition that spans Pace's delicate mullions to make a single unit of the multiple apertures. The effect of this deep colour against the whitewashed interior of the modernised chancel is quite magical. The west end of the nave is dominated by Pace's new organ case with a grid-like form,(adorned with Victorian carvings from the former chancel screen) whilst above the nave ceiling has been recreated in its 15th century form, reusing some carved figures of angels from the original that have been gilded.
This is a stunning church, a highly unusual and most imaginative example of how an ancient building can be revived after a disaster, resulting in a delightful fusion of ancient and modern. It deserves to be better known.
Unfortunately the church is generally kept locked outside of services so it will be necessary to make an appointment to see the interior with one of the churchwardens. I am extremely grateful to one of them, Nigel Dickin, who kindly came to unlock for me at very short notice and allowed me to enjoy this beautiful interior.
