Circles and circles within circles
Intricate round windows must have been a popular theme with church designers in the 1800's in the Ironton, Oh area.
The first four are all on the second story and appear to be around 10 or 11 feet in diameter.
About three feet in diameter, this one needs a little work.
Originally a window damaged beyond repair, it was replaced with brickwork. And, not a bad job either.
There's four circles in this one. At least.

@NVPhotography - That's a great idea. Just need to find the time! LOL
@adventofreason - The circles are all of wooden construction, too. Very hard to make!
BEEEEEAUTIFUL!
Being a glass artist I'd love to take a gander at those from the inside... The fact that they are circles... bonus!
I've missed your picture posts Bud!
@seedsower - Thanks for the rec, Beth! There is some great stained glass in these old churches.
@buddly47 - you're on top of things today ... and i think you're right ... got your Tom Terrifik hat on?
@menskeet - Billy Preston,I'm thinkin?
Great shots Bud! Beautiful! Isn't there a song that goes "Will it go 'round in circles"?
Architecture is really amazing sometimes.
What magnificent windows and architecture. I'd love to see these windows from inside the building...
Thanks for sharing
These are awesome! Nice circle searchin'!
Nice pictures.
That's cool, maybe you can ask for permission to take photos from the inside to get the detail of the stained glass windows. A local Greek Orthodox church will let me do the same, I just have to give them a call.
These are great!! I love the glass work,Ang will love these!!
