I really like your experiments with various color glass; this is very nice. The Darlot?..or should I say, "A darlot?"
 
As JV says, I like the glass experiments. They are in a very different style. This one is really l'heure bleue (blue hour) - that special moment between day and night. What's cathedral glass, by the way? Technical term for stained glass?
