Laborare Est Orare

Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury, Glos. view map

Modern stained glass is very much a personal thing - some people like it, some don't and prefer original and traditional glass design

I'm firmly in the former camp - to see a piece such as this - Tom Denny's 'Work and Prayer' - with the light bringing all those lovely shards of colour to life, is just beautiful. See my earlier pic of a few years ago for another view of this modern masterpiece

Nice shot with great details. Well done this exposure allowing for details of the stonework and the stained glass.

there's great imagination and complexity in this contemporary design...stained glass of of any era can be delightful to view...V

I'm with you ~ I prefer the old and original stained glass too. This is really beautiful Doug! :)

Fine colours of the glass offset on the stone!

It is a beautiful piece and works very well with the old stonework.
