Doors and Windows at Duke Chapel
Windows Galore
Talmadge Memorial Bridge
The Talmadge Memorial Bridge spans the Savannah River between downtown Savannah, Georgia, and Hutchinson Island. The original cantilever bridge was built in 1953; a replacement bridge, named the Talmadge Memorial Bridge, was completed in 1991.
Reflection of the bridge on a window of the riverfront building creates an interesting image.

Walker Covered Bridge at Hart Square
Walker Covered Bridge was moved to Hart Square and restored in 1999. It is the least historic of all the structures at Hart Square. This 17-year-old covered bridge provides a unique walkway from the main ‘street’ across the dam to the Chapel of Peace. The window provides a view of the other side of the Upper Lake.

Chester Cathedral Arches
Chester Cathedral features high arches and stained glass windows reflecting its ancient architecture.


Art on Glass Windows
In Chester Cathedral, there are 34 windows in the cloister with 130 lights (sub-division of a window). Each window has at least one memorial and 147 local people are remembered in this way. Here are some examples. Art on glass is also depicted in other scenes such as the galleon below.


Chester Cathedral Windows
The Chester Cathedral has unfortunately lost nearly all its medieval glass, although the fragments that remain give a tantalizing glimpse of what was once there. The Gothic cathedral of today was largely built in the 13th and 14th century. Most of the stained glass in Chester Cathedral dates from the 19th century with lovely windows. Here are images of a window from outside and the stained glass from inside.


Bolton Castle Ruins
A large part of Bolton Castle is in ruins whereas the restored part offers visitor tours and a tea room. The intact stone structure displays traditional windows.


York Minster Doors
The great west door of York Minster is a formal processional entrance but not used for the mass of tourists who visit the cathedral each day. The South Transept is the main entrance to York Minster. The famous stained glass of the Rose Window is above the entrance. This window was damaged by a fire in 1984.


Zarcero Church
In the northern hills of San Ramon in the Cordillera Central, Costa Rica lies the scenic town of Zarcero. One of the main attractions of Zarcero is the Iglesia de San Rafael (built in 1895), a stunning church both inside and out. Those who appreciate beautiful landmarks must see its gorgeous religious paintings, graceful archways and colorful stained-glass windows.

Light Glow – Contrasts
A lighted pole lamp is no match for the glow created by natural light filtering from an ancient window

Monochrome – Light and Shadows in the Workshop
The highlights and shadows in textures, which show up best when it is exposed from an angle by a light source, reveal fine details that make it a more compelling subject for monochrome images. The light from the window creates interesting shadow designs and exposes the brick wall and old rafters.
