Happy Windows Wednesday :-)
Cwmorthin Quarry is a slate quarry west of the village of Tanygrisiau, north Wales. Quarrying on the site started in 1810. In 1860 it was connected to the Ffestiniog Railway. In 1900 it was acquired by the nearby Oakeley Quarry and the two were connected underground. In 1970 it closed along with Oakeley. There was small scale working in the 1980s and 1990s, the mine finally closed in 1997.
The term stained glass can refer to coloured glass as a material or to works created from it. Throughout its thousand-year history, the term has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches and other significant religious buildings. This fine example is seen in "The Mission " public house in Hull .It is in a room that was the Chapel when the building was The Seamans Mission..
"Windows frosted
Summer's sleeping
But I don't really mind
I know that it's cold outside
The world is bundled up in white
I just need you by my side
'Cause I'm warmer in the winter with you"
~Lindsey Stirling
This is an addition on a traditional brick home in my hood ... views of Lake Ivanhoe out the front windows ... I think it has an outdoor kitchen and eating and living area, probably opening to the back yard. Very cool me thinks. Happy Window Wednesdays!
This is an oldies but a goodies, from my previous home. See Miss Teddie in the window? She/they all loved sitting there on the window sill watching the birds and the butterflies! HFF, ya'll!
I sit by the window.
Hands lock my knees.
My heavy shadow's my squat company.
My song was out of tune,
my voice cracked,
but at least no chorus can ever sing it back.
I sit by the window in the dark.
shadows in waves
behind the wavelike curtain crash.
A loyal subject of these second-rate years,
I proudly admit my finest ideas
are second-rate, and may the future take them
as trophies of my struggle against fate.
I sit in the dark.
And it would be hard to figure out
which is worse: the dark inside, or the darkness out.
--Joseph Brodsky
These windows, which I found in the small village of Mandawa in the Indian state of Rajasthan, continue the series of colorful architectural details. Mandawa was an important station for the caravans between central India and the Middle East. Many merchant palaces, called Mavelis, were built. The windows pictured belong to such a haveli. With the shift of trade to the sea, the town lost its importance and the havelis were repurposed or fell into disrepair.
