Day 3: In your car. I didn't go anywhere today. Literally did not leave the house. Kind of sick so I'm trying to take it easy and get better... but I did make time to get out to the car and snap a few shots.

Not just any celing lights. These are by Dale Chihuly. Here is how the spectacular piece came to be, as told by the artist himself:
"Steve Wynn started talking to me about the ceiling at the Bellagio long before construction even began. He wanted me to make a “spectacular” piece in the lobby of the hotel that would rival the aquarium at the Mirage, and generate more interest. Back in Seattle, we built the entire seventy-by-thirty-foot ceiling, full-scale, at my studio. The commission, as contracted, called for a whole new armature type and about a thousand new “flowers.” Steve visited several times, loved it, and wanted even more glass. Finally Fiori di Como was installed with over two thousand handblown glass elements."
St Stephen's is the parish church of Redditch and stands at the heart of the town centre. It is a grand edifice built to the designs of Henry Woodyer in 1884-5 with a spacious aisled nave and steeple at the north west corner. The chancel was rebuilt and enlarged to the design of Temple Moore in 1893-4.
The previous church on this site was a humble chapel built only in 1808, there was no medieval settlement here, though nearby once stood Bordesley Abbey, one of the wealthiest Cistercian monasteries in the country. Little survived of the Abbey's buildings beyond the Reformation, though the gate chapel, dedicated to St Stephen, survived and was in use for local worship until it fell into decay and was replaced by the new church on this site. The old chapel was subsequently demolished, but medieval tiles from the Abbey were incorporated into the vestry floor of the present St Stephens and can be seen on request.
The present church is an impressive exercise in Victorian Gothic and posseses some good examples of the work of various 19th century stained glass studios, best of all being the fine north aisle window by Capronnier of Brussels.

Part of a temple ceiling to thank the sky gods for all who helped Carney's recovery. The support he and I got from friends here was priceless - beyond gold or silver.
You can see a small shrine to earth gods in the previous photo.
