Snapped in the Glasgow Art Club. This is one of a series of stained glass panels which form an internal screen. I don't know if this is contemporary with the building which dates to 1830, something makes me suspect it may be older. I've walked past it dozens of times and only noticed it very recently :)

Funny isn't it, how you can suddenly notice something. It is a pretty ship.

It's a very pretty ship isn't it?

And yes it is amazing how you start noticing things. I've been meaning to write a post for ages on all the AoS landmarks that I've suddenly started noticing all over Glasgow. There is even a Cadogan Street! Though it's named after George's brother Henry who died leading the 71st Highland Regiment of Foot at the battle of Vittoria.

Vittoria! Cadogan's at war indeed.

On a lighter note, rather than your stairs(I've been reading ahead,)you could have it put in your bathroom. I'm sure the pirate chorus would love it!

I need to write a post about Henry sometime, I have a copy of a a fascinating letter from him.

Beautiful! Sounds like a charming building as well. But the light coming through the panel with that ship sailing serenely over the waves ... I'd want that window in my house!

Isn't it gorgeous? It would look grand at the top of my stairs!

The Glasgow Art Club is an amazing building but I know that the members really struggle to maintain it as it requires a huge amount of work. I'm not a member but I go there to dance occasionally and it's always a pleasure.

Pretty!
I'd love to have a stained glass window panel here and there, but it wouldn't be in style with the rest of the building. ;)

Couldn't you change the style of the building to go with the stained glass?! ;)

Oh, here's an idea! I put it on my list of things to do during retirement! :D

Isn't it? I suspect these panels were reused from an earlier building but I could be wrong.
