Stained Glass Windows

One of my passions is church architecture and over the years I have photographed many wonderful churches and cathedrals
in the various countries I have visited. Of especial interest have been the glorious stained glass windows in these buildings,
and I have quite a collection of these images residing on the numerous hard disks in my office! Finally, I am now trying to
collect these together into this new gallery as an illustration of the glories of stained glass artisans throughout the ages.

Occasionally, I have included a few brief notes under the image - these notes relate mainly to the churches (and not the windows!)
