(we all use wikipedia, and I wondered, wouldn't it be great if it was all written by one person who made it all up? I know wikip's been criticized for inaccuracies, but they're pretty amazing overall. I'd just love to find that one guy in Jersey made the whole thing up. It'd make a great story.)
Stunning capture, you got the stunning presence of glass, fitting for a glassware maker. And real clarity on the mullions and courses of stone. And, as in other facade shots, you have layers: The top one is semi-bleached, and it makes a fine 'top' (a cornice) to the whole. The bottom layer has a bit of an optical illusion, with a foreshortening of the awning, making it appear almost flat; while the rest of the facade leans back into space. Beautiful work on the center window, and on drawing forth the gold trim around it (incl on the name). Stunning facade work. It's masterful. ("Chandelier" comes from the same root as "candle"; and this lights up like many candles.)
