This unusual stain glass window is found on St. Peter’s Church in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada on the northwest shore of Cape Breton Island. The church was built in 1893 with stones which were lugged across the ice from the Ile-de-Cheticamp just offshore. Now if only I could get some windows in Richmond like that.
On this blog we’ll look at windows that are worth envying. Whether they’re in churches, castles, or in your neighbors house, we’ll post pictures of windows that we all wish we could have in our houses. Check back often – there are a lot of windows out there.
