The Galleria Giuseppe Mazzini in Genoa built in the late 1800s is a delightful example of the Parisian passage, much more modest and intimate in scale than the Gallerias of Milan or Naples.
While Andrew was posing for his silhouette, Dave and Kara took Andrew to a nearby window to look at Mickey and the Christmas decor.
ODC - Feel. Yesterday I visited my old university college for the first time in 30 years. It's now closed and has been boarded up for around 8 years, it was hard not to feel sad. It brought back lots of happy memories though - mixed feelings!
The apse windows at Baelen appear brighter and more garish than originally intended, owing to the serious deterioration of the painted detail, leaving the figurative elements difficult to read and some of the brighter pieces less subdued.
St Paul's church in Baelen sur Vesdre is a mainly 16th century gothic building with a western steeple, of a twisted form found in several churches in this part of Belgium.
Inside most of the furniture and fittings date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly the stained glass windows, which were installed by two different workshops in seperate phases, the earlier being by a studio in Trier dating from 1888-89, whilst later windows were installed in the 1930s by the Osterrath workshop.
All the windows have suffered severly from paint loss, often leaving ghostly, blank shapes for heads and other elements, where the original details can only just be detected. This is usually a symptom of underfiring the glass, with the painted lines not fully fused they are prone to decay from environmental / atmospheric constraints on the windows. (the use of Borax as a flux for the glass paint is also often blamed for this condition).
There are plans for further restoration of the windows, but a conclusive plan of action is still being drawn up.

South chancel window by William Warrington 1858 (which I releaded in 2016).
St Mary Magdalene's church is one I have visited several times in recent years with work (on one such occasion even causing the death of the camera that took the preceeding photos of nearby Boningale owing to high levels of dust during window re-installation!). My first visit was on an itinerary in 2009, long before I knew I'd be releading any of the windows here.
Externally it is a classic red sandstone Shropshire church, with a sturdy yet picturesque 13th century west tower followed by a clearly Victorian nave and aisles of equal height. The chancel beyond is 14th century (at least the Victorians in their zeal didn't rebuild everything!).
Inside the church is fairly dark but spacious owing to the generous space provided by the rebuilt nave and aisles. In spite of its much restored nature there are older features of interest here such as the late medieval tomb with effigies in the chancel and an unusual 13th century tomb chest with a flat top adorned with heraldic carving (this was at the west end of the north aisle on my first visit and somewhat subsumed by clutter, but has since been moved to a more sympathetic setting at the east end of the south aisle where it can be more fully appreciated).
Albrighton church is normally kept open and welcoming and feels like a friendly, well used place (my subsequent visits have been concerned with work on the chancel windows, all releaded in the last few years by Norgrove Studios),
