Son of a gun. Thought it looked familiar, but it's been 20 years since I peered out that window. I feel like I should be trudging up to the second floor for my 9:30 Ethics lecture. --Mr. Biscuit

Ah, my dear Mr. Biscuit, how right you are. This is a window from the Wren Chapel... behind the organ. The window if very old and its panes of glass distort the view. I am trying to capture this window in four seasons to create a montage.
Of course it is not the original window of 1693 but old enough to have a unique charm. A piece of plexiglass covers the front of the glass causing the double reflection, but it also seals in moisture which is having an ill effect on the wood. I love the patterns and angles that the shadows make, but only during a brief time of the day, in the late afternoon. Good of you to spot this. Cheers, LC
Reminds me of windows in my favorite building (the Wren Building) from my alma mater (William and Mary). Ah, to be young and reckless again... --Mr. Biscuit
