West rose window at Charlecote by O'Connor of London c1860.
St Leonard's church stands close to the main entrance to Charlecote Park and contains 16th and 17th century monuments to it's builders and residents, the Lucy family in the north chapel.
The church itself is an entirely Victorian building dating from 1851-3 designed by John Gibson.
The interior is somewhat dark (with much Victorian glass) and unusually the entire length of nave and chancel is finished with a stone-vaulted ceiling.

Exercise in window light portraiture. Taken yesterday, very spur of the moment when the low sun just managed to shine for about 15 min. It was still very soft.

Moments after finishing my photographs of Stranger #1, a street-level window opened as I approached, and out popped Maryanne, saying goodbye in Maltese to family as they stepped to the sidewalk.
I was taken by how picturesque she looked as she leaned out the window, in bloom with obvious love for her family. When she turned around, we made eye contact, both smiled, and I asked if she spoke English. "Yes," she answered, and I winced a little at my silly question. (In Malta virtually anyone under sixty speaks English quite well.)
"Would you mind if I took your photo?" I gushed. "Today I'm taking photos of people I don't know, for a project called 100 Strangers. It's a kind of exercise in photojournalism — and you would make a wonderful photo, there in the window."
"Like this?!?" she asked in cheerful disbelief, gesturing to herself. "Exactly like that!" I answered, and stepped back to compose my shot. Initially she looked right into the camera; but I like this shot better, where she resumed looking at her family, more or less exactly as I had first seen her.
I took four shots, including one where we see her mother — whose shirt lends the implausibly bright red in this photo — looking on with interest from behind. When I finished, Maryanne asked, "Could I see the photo when you put it on the site?"
"Of course," I answered, and asked for her e-mail address. She gestured to her niece Jade, on the sidewalk, and so I took Jade's e-mail. Since I seemed to be on a roll, I also asked Jade if I could get a shot of her with her partner and their five-month-old child in a stroller. They happily complied, and Jade asked if they could hire me to take a family portrait of them one day soon.
This picture is #2 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Nous sommes arrivés en France! We are staying in this lovely country for two months this spring. Our primary residence is Lyon, the third largest city in France, located to the southwest. It is a historical, cultural, and very picturesque city founded as the Roman city of Lugdunum, spread out over two hills and two rivers -- the Saône and Rhône.
With side trips to locations as diverse as Paris, Perpignan, Aix-en-Provence, and more, Steve and I aim to get our fill of a country neither of us has seen in a decade, and enjoy the cuisine, culture, language practice, scenery, and generally, la vie quotidienne.

Hay muchos momentos en que lo vemos todo negro, o cuando menos, gris. Con un poco de esfuerzo, divisaremos esa ventana verde, abierta a la esperanza... está esperándonos. Ánimo para todo el que lo necesite!!!
A display window is a window in a shop displaying items for sale.
Display windows at fashion stores usually have dressed-up mannequins in them.
A kiss (from Old English cyssan "to kiss," in turn from coss "a kiss," perhaps onomatopoeic) is the touching of the lips. The scientific name for kissing is osculation.
Anthropologists have not reached a consensus as to whether kissing is a learned or an instinctive behavior. It may be related to grooming behavior also seen between other animals, or arising as a result of mothers premasticating food for their children. Kissing allows prospective mates to smell and taste each other's pheromones for biological compatibility. Women are subconsciously more attracted to men whose immune system proteins and genotype are different than her own, leading to offspring with resistance to a greater number of diseases, and thus having a better chance of survival. This explains why couples are more likely to bond if they have the right "chemistry". Many non-human primates also exhibit kissing behavior.

Kensington High Street is the main shopping street in Kensington, west London.
Kensington High Street is the continuation of Kensington Road and part of the A315. It starts by the entrance to Kensington Palace and runs westward through central Kensington. Near Kensington (Olympia) station, where the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea ends and Hammersmith begins, it ends and becomes Hammersmith Road.
Kensington High Street is one of western London's most popular shopping streets, with upmarket shops serving a wealthy area. From the late 19th century until the mid 1970s the street had three classic department stores: Barkers, Derry & Toms and Pontings. Barkers bought Pontings in 1906 and Derry & Toms in 1920, but continued to run all three as separate entities. In a big building project which started 1930 and didn't finishing until 1958 (the Second World War halted the project), the company made Derry & Toms and Barkers into Art Deco palaces. On top of Derry & Toms Europe's largest roof garden area (1.5 acres) was created, consisting of three different gardens with 500 species of plants, fountains, a stream, duck, flamingos and a restaurant - said to serve the best high tea in Kensington.
Italy. Florence (Firenze).
Piazza del Duomo.
The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (English, "Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The church is particularly notable for its 44 stained glass windows, the largest undertaking of this kind in Italy in the 14th and 15th century. The windows in the aisles and in the transept depict saints from the Old and the New Testament, while the circular windows in the drum of the dome or above the entrance depict Christ and Mary. They are the work of the greatest Florentine artists of their times, such as Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Paolo Uccello and Andrea del Castagno.
