The Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Ilkley is a remarkable blend of traditional and modern architecture, with an entrance porch and apse in Victorian Gothic and north and south nave extensions dating from the 1970s with a saw-tooth wall arrangement, inspired by Coventry cathedral.
More remarkable still is the complete glazing scheme of contemporary stained glass, all executed in the dalle de verre ('slab of glass') wherein thick chunks of coloured glass are set in a concrete or resin matrix (as opposed to traditional lead). The technique was popular in the 1960s and 70s but sharply declined since, largely due to many such windows latterly suffering from heat expansion, leakages or structural problems.
The exceptional scheme of dalle de verre windows at Ilkley includes both windows with concrete and windows with resin matrixes; The earliest windows are those in the apse which utilise concrete, being the work of Pierre Fourmaintraux of Whitefriars. The remaining windows in the nave were executed with resin and supplied by John Hardman Studios of Birmingham in the late 1970s.
These dalle de verre windows ably illustrate the richness and potential of large scale uses of the technique. Current research will hopefully find solutions to the problems encountered with the technique and may hopefully one day lead to a resurgence in the medium.

Took a shot of this great window in an 200 year old country-house. The first thing I thought, that Tim Burton must have grown up in a room with such an window ;-)
Just love it! Although I could be scary for the kid living in this room...
This is St Johns Cathedral again.
The circular window over the front door.
The desired end result was enhanced texture in the cathedral, while leaving the new building and sky as original, as it would look horrible with enhanced contrast (texture).
When the shot was taken, the sky was blown out totally white.
Step 1 - add a gradient layer and applied a blue sky by:
a/ use the magic wand to select the white sky
b/ select the gradient tool and select a suitable gradient which would provide an appropriate blue and natural look to the blue fade.
Step 2 - copy the new shot with blue sky to a new image and dulpicate the new image background layer to a new layer.
Step 3 - back on the 1st image,
a/ use Nik to increase the contrast and tone slightly to a level that highlighted the texture without looking ridiculous.
b/ drag the 2nd image (non contrast) background layer copy into the 1st image as a new layer, and make sure it is on top.
c/ at this point, the soft image being on top will block out the lower contrasty image
d/ use the eraser tool and a soft edge brush, remove the soft top layer pixels only above the cathedral stones
The end result is half the top soft layer of sky and new building, and half the bottom layer visible where the cathedral is.

Installed in 1641, the work of local artist, François Bierges, this is one of three roae windows in Auch cathedral.

Porque no supiste entender a mi corazón
lo que habÃa en él porque no tuviste el valor de ver quien soy
porque no escuchas lo que esta tan cerca de ti
sólo el ruido de afuera y yo
que estoy a un lado desaparezco para ti
No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós me despido de ti
Porque sé que me espera algo mejor
alguien que sepa darme amor
de ese que endulza la sal y hace que salga el sol
yo que pensé nunca me irÃa de ti
que es amor del bueno de toda la vida
pero hoy entendà que no hay suficiente para los dos
No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós me despido de ti
Me voy que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti y me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti
me voy
que lástima pero adiós
me despido de ti
me voy

Read that this month's 2009/365 theme was THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND DOORS OF OUR LIVES so just pointed camera at the window to show what I see when I sit at my desk!
For Window Wednesdays and a MOOC class project.
Here we have two glass windows with reflections and a window that has been bricked up.
The whole of the scene has been camouflaged in a blanket of shadows from a couple of trees near the building.
Captured with iPhone and Hipstamatic's Oggl App, using the Lucifer VI lens and Rock BW-11 Film combination.
The contrast of light and dark were very extreme and this combo really caught that scene well.

Window at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic church in Bilton, Warwickshire.
This composite panel was made up of 'leftover' pieces of one of the former side windows of the nave, displaced when the church was extended in 1990. Other parts have been incorporated into windows two similar windows nearby.
Originally built in 1958 on a traditional plan with an oblong nave and chancel in one chamber, the church was dramatically re-organised and extended in the early 1990s under the guidance of Fr Paul Chamberlain, wherein the axis of the church was re-orientated by 90 degrees with a centralised granite block altar in what was the heart of the old nave. The 'south' nave wall was removed to allow an extended aisle and ambulatory on this side. The former main entrance narthex was blocked up to create what is now the Blessed Sacrament chapel.
One of the most dramatic innovations in the re-ordered church is the full immersion fount, a cruciform marble pool set into the floor before the altar, evoking the earliest method of Christian Baptism by immersion in the River Jordan.
The two main stained glass windows on either side of the old nave were removed and re-sited in truncated form in the new extension, and in the place of the northern one a large crucifix (painted by Fr Chamberlain) has been set up as a focus behind the new altar. The six high windows on this wall are the latest addition to the church and are my own work from 1999.
