Rose window with lovely tracery at the Chapel at the University of the South in Sewanee. We were there for Zeb's sister's graduation. The place is too gorgeous not to take pictures of.

Anytime we have a challenge like backlit or silhouette, I resort to taking photos of my cat looking out the window.
For Our Daily Challenge: Backlit.
Rosemary Rutherford's 20th century so-called Corn window in St Faith's church, Gaywood, King's Lynn. A memorial to James Gale and William Robert Burridge, it takes the harvest time text, ' So is the Kingdom of God ; first the blade, then the ear and then the corn in the ear' . Harvest time flowers like poppies are included in the detail, as is the red-legged partridge but there are springtime flowers too - iris and tulip.
The east window, most likely the work of William Wailes c1845.
The church of St John the Baptist at Wolverley has medieval origins but what we see today is the result of a complete rebuilding in 1772. The architect is unknown, but the building makes a powerful statement in brick, with deeply recessed arches adding a touch of shadowy drama to the round-headed nave and tower windows, as if part of a viaduct had been glazed-in to form the church. The rather later timber-framed porch doesn't sit quite as well in this setting.
The interior is light and spacious, plastered throughout and still retaining its galleries in the nave. The effect is still very late Georgian aside from the Victorian screen and stained glass in the chancel. There are a couple of reminders of the previous church, the late medieval font and a 14th century knight's effigy, both in the south aisle.
Wolverley church is an impressive building and happily one that welcomes visitors, being normally kept open during the day.
