Art's and Crafts stained glass

These images are from two semi detached bungalows that are in my local area.
#1 is just to give some context to the rest of the images.

C&C welcome

I was wondering why you included the first shot, the entrances seem so out of place for the architecture. Any info on the development of the area, are there any bylaws limiting personal tastes. it would seem not? Nicely captured.

I suspect these have been there since the thirties, possibly the windows too.

Now there's something I'd like to try shooting, but to turn things on their head (and protect privacy of owners), perhaps by shooting at dusk (or on a dull day), and lighting them from within by off camera RF triggered flash guns.

The fourth one, the door and pieces of woods is a masterpiece

As had already been explained, #1 is an environmental shot. My favourite is #2. I guess I like wood colours very much.

It's always risky photographing someone's homestead, especially if the windows shades are open; sometimes it's better to wait for some particular event such as Halloween or a neighborhood block club party so your presence is less suspect.

Thanks for your comments John.
Both these houses have preservation orders on them.
There are two reasons for the preservation order, the first being. These are the only two houses in Perth with all the original stained glass windows thru out the houses. The other being William Souter the Perth poet lived and worked Inglelow from 1924 until his death in 1943.

The houses were built in 1924, the exterior has not changed since it was built.
Both houses were built by William Souter's father (a master joiner), one as a family home.
These houses are now owned by Perth County Council, Inglelow is open to the public(by oppointment) and Hollybrook is rented.
No permission was needed to take pictures of Inglelow and in the case of Hollybrook I asked permission of the tenants to take pictures of the door and window.

Thanks Nandakumar and Izzie for your comments.

Good images and very imaginative. Would never thought to shoot anything like that.

Cheers, Maurice. It has been an ongoing project taking images of stained glass in Perth buildings, before they all disappear due houses being demolished, double glazing ect.
