Window in the Palais des Papes (Popes' Palace).
Probably, this is in the Grande Audience hall, but I am not sure now.

East window in All Saints' church, Waldringfield, Suffolk. Attributed by Birkin Haward to Lavers & Barraud. c1864. This window, showing the Baptism of Christ, the Crucifixion and the Last Supper was installed in the church during the Victorian reconstruction of the 1860s.
It is sometimes referred to as the Coprolite window, as the restoration was financed from the profits of the local Coprolite trade, a thriving business at the time, in which nodules were dug out of the glebe lands, washed on the nearby beach, then transported by barge down the Deben to Ipswich, where it was mixed with sulphuric acid to make an early form of superphosphate fertiliser.

As much as they get it wrong sometimes, the words can help one visualize a photo in a new and creative way.
These are some more shots of my Tour to Europe in Sept - Nov 2012. I has been a while since I last saw them.. great to be able to catch up on them at last!
On our tour of Valencia with my Cosmos tour, October 15, 2012.
Mercado de Colon market in Valencia. A gorgeous elaborate structure, spacious modernity, sort of simplified a-la-Valencia Gaudi, with a nave shooting into the sky and the colourful decorations depicting Valencian country life with Valencian ceramics. The architecture is so interesting it is suprising that the market was built in 1914, it is quite avant-guarde for those time
We sit in a church for the Weight Watchers meeting, and there's always some great light coming through the windows. So I took this picture, and the woman three seats away said, "Overexposed." And I sort of sneered at her. And then she said, "Whenever I have shots like that, I always overexpose and then under process." I told her all my settings were manual and that my camera was a digital and that I did pretty well.
During the meeting she offered some advice to another WW member, and I recognized that voice. I got up and sat next to her and looked her in the eye. She said, "I know you!" and then we hugged. Turns out she was a friend of a friend, and we once spent a week in Martha's Vineyard together many years ago. She took a photograph of me on the beach there, reading a book, with cows marching by. She always took her cows and photographed them.
It's one of my favorite pictures. I loved seeing her again.
In 2017, Laws Stained Glass Studios installed (9) opalescent glass windows at The ConneXion Church in Savannah, GA. The windows (size 40" wide x 82" high) did not have artwork or a memorial plate, but a decorative leaf design in the center.
Laws began the installation by removing the existing Krinkle glass (a thin fiber glass) and the existing aluminum frame. New white aluminum frames were installed into the masonry opening. On the interior of the frame, the leaded glass window was set. On the exterior, 1/4" Lucite acrylic was placed as the protective covering.
I love how these random patterns of ice between the two panes of window form cool shapes like trees.
Victorian window in the south aisle at Measham.
St Laurence's at Measham sits tucked back from the town's main street with an open space in front, allowing a good view of the western side (the rest is harder to appreciate being somewhat hemmed in). The most noticeable feature is the tower dating from sometime after 1733 (according to Pevsner). The rest of the building is of 14th century date and unusually appears as simple a spacious nave and aisles, since there is no structural distinction of the chancel, the east window being where one would normally expect to see a chancel arch.
There is some interesting glass, a collection of medieval fragments are arranged into a collage at the west end of the south aisle, whilst many other windows have a patchwork of brightly coloured late Georgian glass in their traceries. Some of these were casting attractive colours across the interior when we called.
I believe this church is usually open to visitors within reasonable hours. We called rather late in the day (after 6pm) but luckily encountered the vicar who was about to lock up and kindly left the church open a little longer for us.
