A poor attempt to capture the stained glass window. Without a telescopic lens it is a bit of a failure.
In real life the window is well worth a look.

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins
on the ice in Antarctica – where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic
bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will
mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of
compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members
of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes
in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is
deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle
around the fresh grave
and
sing:
“Freeze a jolly good fellow”
“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
“Then they kick him in the ice hole.”

I love to see stained glass windows lit from the inside. there's a modern Catholic church near us that has three walls of stained glass (at the top of the walls I mean) massive windows but I have only ever passed it once when it has been lit up from inside. What a waste, really.
Thanks for the useful info about penguins, who'da thought it? but it must be true because I HAVENT ever seen dead penguins lying around in the wild!
looks like a co-incidence to me.
Jenny, neither have I so it must be true.
Ken, er yes, co-incidence.....
You really had me going until I reached "Freeze a jolly good fellow"... I like the glass ... and penguins. We're a penguin loving family!

I tried to enlarge the stained glass more but I still don't see no stinkin' penguins.
An African tribal war shield on the top and that demon from The Exorcist on the bottom is all I can make out.
RDG, Sadly I was fooled like you.
Max, Yes but....
Max, No.
