Glow

 A sample of the stunning stained glass windows at Humber Valley United Church in Toronto.  The windows were designed and built by Eric Wesselow in 1977.

Eric Wesselow was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy and president of the Quebec Society for Education through Art.  The Wesselow system of layering glass so that there are no visible lead lines was named for him.

  3. That looks really cool :-D

    Yes shame about Neil Sedaka. My problem is I like so much music from the 60s and 70s..they are either gone and going. Yet look at Willie Nelson still going. And Les Paul was very active into his 90s too.
