Aidan McRae Thomson's photostream  

I'm a stained glass artist in his late thirties, currently residing at the Worcestershire/Warwickshire border.
I've had a passion for ecclesiastical architecture since a childhood visit to Norwich Cathedral opened my eyes and mind to such wonders.

With this interest it has been rewarding to work as a restorer and designer/painter of stained glass, as this has mainly entailed working with old and new churches, both repair work (inc. Coventry, Llandaff & Tewkesbury) and new design (several churches in the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham)

Art & Architecture have long been passions of mine, as well as history, particularly the Ancient World (notably Classical & Egyptian). My photostream therefore leans towards a rather historical/architectural bias.

I also love travelling to see the beautiful things of the World and have been lucky enough to have enjoyed a variety of foreign travels; I am somewhat addicted to photographically recording every place I visit, all of which I hope to eventually reflect in my photostream.

Means of travel is often rather complex for me as I don't drive (I'm too easily distracted and would likely be something of a liability behind a wheel, where you can't always afford to turn and think 'Oh look at that church.over there...'!! etc) My visits are either by bike, on foot, public transport (had some horror stories there!) or courtesy of friends and family who do drive!

Flickr is a great way to share the many sights I've enjoyed with like minded people, as well as a fantastic resource for exploring and learning from their images.
