Location City -  Birmingham Bull Ring
State -  ST MARTIN'S CHURCH
Country - United Kingdom   United Kingdom
About The West Window above the main entrance to St Martin's Church. Like the East Window, this was reconstructed after a bombing raid on the city of Birmingham in World War Two.

From 'st martin's in the bull ring' which can be found in full at
http://hometown.aol.co.uk/leonwebster/stmartinsinthebullring.html

'from the neck of the city
entering discourteously
through electronic doors
you are plunged into a new universe
able to pause for cleansing water to bless
before turning westwards
where broken glass has been renewed
above your head

twisting further
you hit the gargoyles
that taunt even by day
as you seek direction
among sandstone pillars
washed and patched

this is no canterbury
but there is a modest lichfield touch
except for empty pews
blind in this treasure island
where poppies wait for their renewal
in memory of the fallen comrades...'

wonderful combination of poetry and image - and the photo is well dond. You need a big size file indeed to get the details!

Did some church photo's myself, and an art project about the light in the church... it is quite hard to do! http://www.dse.nl/~hbogaers/cathkerk/ctkerk.htm

I will try to visit the bull in the ring next time I visit my parents in law!

This really captures the entire stained glass window with enough detail and clarity to understand what it's all about. Impressive, beause I know it's not easy. It's been a while since I dropped by, Len. Must do so more often!

This has been captured beautifully with wonderful detail and clarity. A challenge considering you shot straight into the light. Great shot. Beaut colours and such intricate detail. Well done. Cheers - Ann :)
