Tiffany, 1915
This window is a memorial to the Sontag, Dorner and Knight families by Rose Knight.
The window was designed by the Tiffany studios and if you look carefully at the very lower right-hand corner of the window you will see the name "Louis C. Tiffany" in script.
One should note that the Tiffany signature plate changed over the years and that not all Tiffany windows have the same markings of authenticity.
This window is based on a very popular religious picture of this era and the Tiffany studios duplicated this particular scene on a number of occasions. If this window has an unusual characteristic it is found in the presence of the angel in the upper half of the window. There is no biblical reference to an angel being present in this scene, suggesting that Tiffany was not beyond embellishing either the story or satisfying the needs of the customer.
So the obvious question... Why did I upload this to flickr - after all hasn't everyone seen a couple dozen of these such ads everywhere?
Simple, in English, I learned that you use "less" for things that you can't physically count (things like baking flour, or sugar), and "fewer" for things that you can count. There seems to be a grammatical error here.
Superb! Beautiful spacious church with a Mediterranean flavour. Astonishly built as recently as 1937 by SE Dykes Bower. The former church was built in 1852 and destroyed by fire.

The windows were made this way to reflect the light in the most effective way and to help not distract patrons by gazing outside! (Feb 13)
North chancel window at Bidford on Avon by Capronnier of Brussels 1885.
St Lawrence's church, Bidford on Avon, Warwickshire, a curious hybrid of a building that combines a medieval tower, an unusually designed 1830s nave (combining mock-tudor and Georgian elements) and a medieval chancel, so heavily Victorianised as to appear entirely of that date.
The church appears abnormally long for it's size, partially due to the 1835 rebuilding of the nave and aisles (by Thomas Lattimore of nearby Stratford) , which left a strange, annex-like section at the west end attached to the tower, and now used as a baptistry.
The church is normally kept locked outside of services, but on this occaision we were here to install Clare Johnson's (now Clare Barclay) new stained glass window at the west end of the nave.

2011 starts fo us the way 2010 ended - on a plane. This one is a US Air flight from Philadelphia to Kansas City from the window seat; 1-9-11. I used a special Tiffen filter for the blue effect you see.

Hann.-Münden wurde zwischen 1155 und 1183 gegründet. 1247 verlieh Herzog Otto I von Braunschweig (auch Otto das Kind genannt) der Stadt das Stapelrecht, was durch die Lage an Werra und Fulda, die sich hier zur Weser vereinen, rasch zu Wohlstand und Reichtum führte. Die außergewöhnliche Vielfalt an Fachwerkformen und -stilen, die man besonders in der Langen Straße bestaunen kann, geht auf diese Zeit zurück und durch intensive Sanierungsarbeiten gilt Hann.-Münden heute als eine Fachwerkstadt von europäischem Rang.
