Window II

The nice thing abouth old churches is that not one window is the same.
Abouth the glass. In those days people wasn`t able to manufactured large flat glass. Even not clear glass. So the glass window was bult up by small pieces. How did they made flat glass. Glassblowers blow a bottle(cilinder) cut of the bothem and top . Then they cut open the cilinder and flatten the glass. Old glass has bumbs and bubbles is small and is not transparent
lovely textures and colours, like your explanation of old glass

What an interesting window and I like the history that goes with it. The texture of the bricks and the random pattern of the brick is interesting as well.
