This ornament means a lot to me. With the sun shining and the reflection in the window it hit a chord on this day.
Window, San Francisco. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A window covered with security bars.
If this were my window — on this particular street, in this particular position, in this particular city — I suppose that I would install a security system like this, too. (It isn't exactly a "bad" area, but it is one where many thousands of people walk past daily, and the window is right along the sidewalk.)
But that's not really why I made the photograph. I thought the gently suffused lighting was attractive, and I liked the combination of colors, shapes, and light and shadow. Aside from whatever intrinsic value or meaning this photograph may (or may not) have, it is another example of the fact that there are things to see everywhere, and that, in my view, photographing them is a useful way to "tune up" your ability to see things that not everyone might notice.

"To see a world in a grain of sand,And a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour."
William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"
A window and stairway at Hughes Hall, one of the colleges of Cambridge University. This rather modern building has pleasin gviews across the University cricket ground on one side, and unrivalled views of the Queen Anne's car park on the other (from where this was taken).
It's too bad i'm not handy...otherwise I'd love to have a old house with alot of character and history. Unfortunately, I can barely hang blinds.
West window installed in 2000 and designed by Graeme Willson of York. Christ Is shown as Alpha & Omega and flanked by angels. The alternate columns of coloured and clear glass are most effective.
St Laurence's at Rowington is an unusually shaped building with a central tower that appears to have been built partway into the nave, dividing it into two shorter segments either side of the 'crossing' and giving the it an odd 'three chambered' look. The interior is thus a little confusing, with nave aisles that are strangely short and narrow, whilst on the north side is a more generous aisle that extends from the tower to the east end of the chancel. Bodley did some renovation and redecoration here, but only a small patch of his stencilling remains in this aisle roof.
There is some old woodwork in the chancel screens but otherwise the glass is the main point of interest, with a window of 14th century fragments (mostly grisaille) and some good quality windows by Kempe, a late Arts & Crafts piece by Camm's , and a striking west window done for the Millennium designed by Graeme Willson of York, some of the cartoons for which are displayed in the adjacent aisle.

I am due to give a 40 minute guided walk around the church's windows on the morning of Saturday 21st June.
