Thames Water ( then located in Roseberry Avenue ) commissioned the striking East window to be erected by A.E. Buss of Goddard & Gibbs in 1962. The window depicts the risen glory of Christ ascending. The grey logo of Thames Water is central at the base and commemorates the building of the New River, between 1604 and 1613 by Sir Hugh Myddelton. Dame Alice Owen, a great local benefactor, is depicted on the left with the coat of arms of the Corporation of the City of London (who remain patrons of the parish today). To the right is The coat of arms of Islington and a picture of the Angel Inn one time first coaching house on leaving the city.

This ornament means a lot to me. With the sun shining and the reflection in the window it hit a chord on this day.
Chastleton House is an early 17th century manor house open to the public (National Trust). Like Stanway House, the owners were not been able to afford to keep it up and the NT has not invested in restoring the furnishings or interior decor. Nevertheless, there are a lot of interesting wood carved wall panels, elaborate fire places (the original owner had one such fireplace installed in a bedroom to impress his wealthy neighbor), a multi-floor free-flying staircase, 17th century tapestry, medieval bible boxes, etc.
The tallest building in Manchester leans to catch a rainbow. The other buildings huddle together in awe.

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.

A week ago, several of my friends and I had an opportunity to shoot another decommissioned power plant in Austin. This one, Seaholm, will not be torn down but will be redeveloped most likely into a retail space.
