Based on the dream of St John the Divine, told in the Book of Revelation, this window, installed in the church of St Mary & St Nicolas, Spalding, Lincolnshire in 1951, is by Walter Percival Starmer of Bushey. It is in memory of Dr Thomas Driffill and his wife, Sarah and was given by their daughter, Rebecca Fletcher Driffill.

This amazing stained glass window is by artist Scott Maxwell. It was dedicated in 2002 by Queen Elizabeth II.
HDR from 7 exposures: +3, +2, +1, 0, -2, -4, -6 EV. If anyone ever doubts the usefulness of HDR, this photo should be enough to convince them. There's not a single shot in this sequence where you can see detail in both the window and the stonework. Compare to a photo from the cathedral's own website.

Detail.
John Hardman was one of the pioneers of the stained glass revival of the 19th century. His Birmingham-based operation started out as an ecclesiastical metal works, but, at the suggestion of AWN Pugin, the business expanded into glass manufacture in 1845. Pugin designed for the firm until his death in 1852 when this role passed on to John Hardman Junior's nephew John Hardman Powell (1827-1895). The firm was renamed John Hardman Studios in about 1939, at which time Donald Battershill Taunton (1886-1965) and Patrick Feeny (1910-1995) were designers. Able to move on from the Victorian and Edwardian Gothic Revival styles, the firm survived and still exists under the same ownership as Goddard & Gibbs, though in different premises in Birmingham.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, Latinoamérica. Fue cuna de dos de los viajes más maravillosos que he tenido en la vida. Fui en Otoño, una ciudad lluviosa, amorosa, con hojas secas sobre el suelo, me enamoraron sus tangos, los colores que se imprimen sobre calles, parques y edificios. Me enamoré de su café, de los pequeños locales donde por poco tienes la experiencia más maravillosa con un mate y unas galletitas. Me enamoré de los dÃas de lluvia, como nunca, disfruté de caminito, de su pasión por el fútbol y sobre todo del aire, un aire bohemia, melancólica y llena de nostalgia. Allà nacieron estas fotos que luego fueron editadas en Bogotá, para ustedes de Buenos Aires, con amor.
South chancel window depicting SS Peter & John, by Kempe & Tower c1906.
Tredington's church of St Gregory is one of the most impressive in south Warwickshire, a beautifully hued 14th century building dominated by a graceful spire (crowning an already tall tower) at the west end.
Within the earlier history of the church is more apparent, with substantial remains of blocked Saxon windows embedded in the masonry immediately above the nave arcades, showing how these were cut through the ancient walling in the late 12th / early 13th century, retaining parts of the previous clerestory in the process (which then would have been hidden plaster and murals throughout the rest of the medieval period).
There is much ancient woodwork, most of the benches are medieval with decorative panelling, as is the former rood screen. The are also some interesting brasses and a fine Jacobean pulpit. The Victorian restoration was fortunately much more restrained here, the only obvious addition of this time being the glass in the chancel.
Tredington church is one of the most rewarding in the area, and happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.
This is an ongoing freelance project for my brother. He requested a clean/simple, but nice look for his business. This template was made in Photoshop cs3. The house needed a lot of adjustments in PS to make it stand out like it does right now(adjustment layers, sharpness and blur in certain areas, etc). You could easily use this for any type of home construction site.

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.

The church of St Nikolaus dominates the small town of Walbeck with its soaring steeple. It is a large, impressive building of mostly 15th century date (though much older in origin) consisting of nave, south aisle and an apsed chancel.
We visited with the artist Joachim Klos, who was responsible for designing the entire glazing scheme for the church in the 1980s. This sequence is highly symbolic in nature and takes as its overall theme the soul's journey towards the Heavenly Jerusalem, with much use of gold with an otherwise limited palette, and many Baroque elements incorporated into the designs inspired by the church's organ-case. It is a very striking sequence (if a little difficult to decipher) and thanks to its minimal colouring leaves the church flooded with light.
