DIFFERENT WINDOWS WITH ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE & DECORATION IN MOSQUES IN OLD HISTORIC CAIRO MOSQUES,, CAIRO EOS CANON ,, 2016
Millennium window in the south aisle by Andrew Taylor, an attractive display of rich colour incorporating scenes of rural life.
St Mary's at Shawbury was my last church of the day, but as it was now nearly 6pm hopes of getting inside were fading, but the door yielded nonetheless!
It is marked by a particularly fine late medieval pinnacled west tower. Much of the building is otherwise late Norman, including the nave arcades with some interesting carved capitals. The font is Norman too, a tub carved with purely non figurative ornament including rope molding.
The wide interior culminates in a Perpendicular chancel with a plain glazed east window, but nearby is one window crammed full of early 15th century fragments including bits of an Annunciation and canopywork. The modern window in the south aisle with rural, secular imagery really grew on me.
A window with obscured view of the opposite roofline from one on the rooms in the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. The building was originally part of the Freemasons Hall next door, but was divided in 1908 to provide elegant dining rooms. Having faded somewhat during the late 20th century, the GCR has been refurbished as conference and banqueting room. Sadly I was only there for the former, though the lunch was very good. The loos are the most distant I've encountered at a conference venue requiring several doors and flights of stairs, a map, asked directions and a modicum of luck.
Kenzie, wake up and open the Gebyok Window.
Gebyok is a Javanese traditional door and window, carved on old teakwood
This woman was so serene, sitting in her window watching the sun set saturday evening. She lives in a retirement home near downtown Madison. I stood down in the yard shooting her for probably 5 minutes and and was just so sweet.

Window on the Centro Privado de Enseñanza Sagrat Cor Diputació school building at the corner of Carrer de la Diputació and Carrer de Bailén in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalunya.
I really like this angel reflection in our old church window, but it is still a work in progress so expect to see it again soon.
Van Gogh is quoted to have said... “Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.”
I wonder... If this painting really had a life... what would it say to you. Would it speak, would it sing, or recite poetry. Or maybe, it would just stand there and stare.
What does this painting say to you??
PS: Another one from my Snap Art series. :)

Well I did warn you that I’d be posting doors and windows and in this shot you get both. Never let it be said that I don’t offer good value.
This is the rather lovely Blacksmith’s Shop at Fort Nelson. It does make me wish that I was a bit better with a saw than I actually am; if I’d made this I’d be rather pleased with myself.
Golden window of opportunity? I saw the sunrising through one of our office building's hallway windows this morning and had to run for my camera.
Memorial window to local brewer, John Simpson and his wife, Hannah. Installed in 1929 in the church of St Thomas Becket, Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire. The glass ( signed in the bottom right hand light but impossible to photograph from floor level) is by Archibald John Davies of Bromsgrove.
The theme is the martyrdom of St Thomas Becket, to whom the church is dedicated. Becket himself is shown in the centre light (and his face appears to be modelled on a real person). The side lights illustrate the story of his martyrdom, beginning with Henry II complaining to his knights about his, 'turbulent priest'. The knights then confront Becket in Canterbury cathedral and execute him on the spot. The fourth picture shows the repentance and penance of the king.
The emblems at the base of the centre light include a beehive, a reminder that John Simpson was an enthusiastic beekeeper.
