Not so bad, imho
You really have to see it in the flesh, so to speak, but Piper’s baptistry window in Coventry’s ’new’ cathedral is a riot of colour and entirely in keeping with its environment.

Môre Janus, Ive corrected the image proportions for you, hope it’s correct
Thanks, Soutie! I’m into correctness these days.
So I’ve noticed
Soutie, Backside’s safely locked in a padded room with his 12 Olympic channels for company. He has just shouted that architecture is a fashion with no rules except what investors will pay for. ‘Twas ever thus.
That looks absolutely fantastic.
Worth a visit sometime, Boa. (The traditionalists don’t like new church buildings.
)
The grandly named Metropolitan Catherdral of Christ the King in Liverpool, known affectionately to all Scousers as Paddy’s Wigwam, gives good stained glass too.
Linkey thing

I’m a traditionalist, Janus, but that window is beautiful. I’d like to see close-ups of the panels, but I have a feeling it might spoil it for me.
I’m not a great fan of modern churches, but I must admit this window looks wonderful.
Bilbers, I doubt it.
You doubt I’m a traditionalist, Janus?
OK, I’ll just have to find some close-ups myself I suppose … tomorrow ( I’m watching the swimming).
No, no, no, Bilbers! I meant doubt you’ll be disappointed!
Here’s a link with afew close-ups. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=piper+stained+glass+windows+pics&hl=da&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=0jAWUK63HaiM4gSf5oAY&ved=0CFEQsAQ&biw=1173&bih=599
I know, Janus, hence the winky thing.
Thanks for the link, Possum.
You’re right, I’m not disappointed. I love them. Absolutely stunning!
