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.
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.

Does this count as a window? I came across a picture of a vintage card not too long ago, and they had suspended a disc on a thread, and, when spun, it was really neat. This is my version of that idea. (The middle shot was actually taken first and received too much backlight - which is why it's so dark. The Blue Butterfly is the most true color match to the card in real life.)

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.

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.
On our way to Sweden we spent a few days in Copenhagen. Not long enough to see everything, but long enough to make me want to return.
Lite snett och vint, men mycket fint ändå... (; (11 foton sammanfogade, 9000*7000px)

The old cabin
has a window
overlooking a lake.
hidden in summer
when trees are dressed...
yet ever so present
once Autumn arrives...
it doesn't take her long
to make a date
with old man winter..
Their lovers you know..
(doesn't everyone know?)
she sends him autum kisses
made of leaves
dancing in the cold winds..
(she left a few for me
tucked on the window)
Just before He arrives
she changes things..
(green is not
her favorite color..)
she paints them red
yellow and mauve,
orange..even purple..
then she strips them naked
to prove her promice
of dancing
into winter...
I have been told
in late September
the old man stands
at this window
watching Her ......

I liked the way the Ivy was creeping over the window .. Not sure about the reflection of the electricity pylon though.

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.
Madison, Georgia. April 2006.
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.
Every morning, as soon as I wake up, I open my window and see her on the other side, in the orange building, opening her brown wooden shatters, catching the first rays of sun and looking at the canal beneath her. Wind playing with her golden hair and sun reflecting her true eye color.
In every morning, she waters her beautiful yellow, orange, pink and red flowers. I could see love in her eyes. She loved and cared about them so much. When she is done, she goes back in. Some days I get to see her more than once and for that I thought I had luck.
One morning, I woke up and went to my window right away, opened the shatters and looked at her window. She was not there. The shutters were closed and her flowers weren’t there as well. I thought I may have been a bit early and decided to wait for few more moments. An hour passed, yet she was not there. I began to question if she might have seen me, and thought I was so annoying for looking at her every single day. I went to work but all I could think about was her. And her bright green eyes, her beautiful hair and charming smile. I couldn’t take it anymore. I asked for permission to leave early and went to her building. I stood there for over an hour thinking that she might have appear coming in or going out, but no one came. I decided to try and go in. But I faced a difficult problem, first I do not know her name to ask about her, I have no idea what is her apartment’s number, and I need either a key or someone’s approval to inter the building. I decided to go back and wait a little more out side; someone may come any time soon.
Sun began to set, everything turned orangey. I sat on the door’s step, placing my head on the door, looking at the purple orange sky, wondering why I was attracted to this woman. Suddenly, I heard a sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the door and the door was opened. I stood up, my face filled with hope and smiled to whoever it was that will open the door. An old lady opened the door. She looked at me in wonder and asked: “What do you want son? You’ve been sitting here all day? I saw you from my window.”
I looked at her pale face and brown eyes and said: “I’m sorry to bother you madam, but I uh… I don’t know how to explain this… I …”
“What? Say what you want son, I don’t have all day”
“Sorry, but I want to ask about the blond green eyed young lady living in this building!”
“Blond? What lady?”
“She lives in front of my apartment!”
“I’m sorry son; you must be mistaken, look in the other building!”
“No, she lives at this orange building, I saw her everyday, but I didn’t today!”
“Son, there is no blond living in this building, I’m sure, I’m the land lord of this building and I know every one living here”
“But, that is impossible, I saw her. I see her every single morning! She is in the flat that looks over the canal!”
“Come with me, the only apartment I have looking over the canal is this, follow me”
She took me in the building, to the second floor. She stood in front of a green door that had the number 3 fixed on it. She put her hand in her pocket and took out a bunch of keys all attached in one key chain. Looked through them and picked one. Then, she unlocked the door and showed me the empty, dusty deserted room. I went in, looked around. From looking at how much dust there was, I could say that no one touched this room for over a year. I slowly walked towards the window, small sun rays could escape into the room from a crack in the brown wooden shutters. I opened it and saw my window. Then looked at the old lady, she smiled and said: “I don’t know if what you saw was true, but this apartment has not been used for more than two years and a half.”
I nudged and looked back at the window, and as I attempted to walk away, I saw something beneath my foot. I leaned down and picked it up. It was a small fresh red rose leaf. I held it tight in my hand and went out of the apartment...
....The End....
