The windows in our old chicken coop were seriously in need of some cleaning! Don't you agree? Blogged @ rosinahuber.blogspot.com/2011/03/chicken-coop-remodel.html
The central apse chapel behind the High Altar at Reims contains three splendid windows by Marc Chagall dating from 1974.
Reims Cathedral, coronation church of the French kings and one of the finest gothic structures ever built. It's vast scale, masterful design and rich sculptural adornment are virtually without equal.
The west facade is one of the most celebrated achievements of medieval architecture. Beautiful sculptures from the 13th & 14th centuries adorn the three main portals and include such famous figures as the 'Smiling Angel of Reims' and the strikingly classical-inspired Visitation.
Sadly the cathedral was heavily mauled by German artillery in World War I, starting fires which destroyed the outer roof and tragically ignited wooden scaffolding around the northern half of the facade, damaging the priceless sculptures (which would have otherwise been safe from fire damage). Restoration took many years, some continues to this day.
Remember those cute little raccoons nestled in the bottom of the can I use for leaves? Well, here's one of them having returned. He has climbed up the giant rhododendron and was looking at me through a second-story window while I was working on my computer. What could I do? First, I got my camera and took a picture and then I called for the animal control officer to bring a trap.

This image shows part of a run of eight dormer windows that form an upper dormitory of Sherborne School in Dorset. The school was re-founded in 1550 as King Edward's public school, using some of the old abbey buildings, though it is now known simply as Sherborne School. The school remains one of the top independent schools in Britain, boasting numerous successful alumni, including Alan Turing, Jeremy Irons, Chris Martin and John le Carré.
St Nicholas's church, Sevenoaks, Kent. 1881 East window by C E Kempe. The glass is now much faded but a detailed report of the window ( in the flowery language of the time) was given in the 'Sevenoaks Chronicle' of 15th April 1881. It said, ' A most beautiful stained glass window has been placed at the east end of the chancel in the Parish Church. Certainly the work is one of the finest specimens of this delicate art to be found and will form one of the chief attractions of the edifice to the lovers of the beautiful in art.
The harmony of colour and superb blending of the subjects, which are taken from the Passion of our Lord, as follows, are truly remarkable :- The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Gethsemane, St Peter's denial, Jesus Christ before Pilate, the Crucifixion, the Deposition, the Burial are all highly suggestive in their character and the whole was designed and executed by C E Kempe Esq. It cannot but be remarked that under the highly esteemed Rector, our noble Parish Church is becoming celebrated for its ecclesiastical adornment'.

St Peter's church in Aachen was badly damaged by wartime bombing and rebuilt with a modern interior in the 1950s. It contains of remarkable set of abstract windows by Wilhelm Buschulte that create the dominant touch of colour on an otherwise fairly minimalist interior.
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.

Sir Walter Scott writing in 1827 stated; "Sir Sic itur ad Astra; This is the path to heaven. Such is the ancient motto attached to the armorial bearings of the Canongate, and which is inscribed, with greater or less propriety, upon all the public buildings, from the church to the pillory, in the ancient quarter of Edinburgh which bears, or rather once bore, the same relation to the Good Town that Westminster does to London"
I guess the Stained Glass refers to Holyrood Abbey which was found in 1128 and hence refers to the Canongate area of Edinburgh.
The Legend states that in 1127 while King David I was hunting in the forests to the east of Edinburgh during the Feast of the Cross, he was thrown from his horse after it had been startled by a hart( deer). Tthe king was saved from being gored by the charging animal when it was startled either by the miraculous appearance of a holy cross descending from the skies, or by sunlight reflected from a crucifix which suddenly appeared between the hart's antlers while the king attempted to grasp them in self-defence. As an act of thanksgiving for his escape, David I founded Holyrood Abbey on the site in 1128.
Why Tint Windows Of Your House?
If you tint windows of your home you will benefit from the following:
-Reduced energy bill. If your house is being cooled by an air-conditioning system, cooling costs is most likely responsible for almost half of the energy bill. If you tint windows of your home, the insulation becomes better since the film blocks infrared that carry heat through your windows. Tint keeps the coolness inside so you don’t have to turn up your AC to a higher temperature.
-Stylish. There is more variety when it comes to home window tint compared to automotive tint. There are more colors, shades, patterns, and designs. There is no limit to how much tint you can put on home windows unlike car windows that are restricted by state laws.
-Protection for your furniture. UV damages anything it touches. Colors of carpets, curtains, couches, and wooden furniture fade after some time of exposure to the sun. If you tint windows at home, UV is blocked and you would not have to replace your furniture because of damage.
