This photo was taken along the road from Salisbury cathedral, in August 2009. It was at first floor level and the building is very old. The Sheep? Well I tried to find out more and it seems to allude to Wiltshire being a sheep farming county. Sadly the other thing I discovered is that a year or so after I photographed it, the sheep was decapitated, a mindless act of destruction. I feel for the people whose windows they are.

Those are cool looking windows…I feel for the sheep.
Mindless destruction is so awful. Wouldn’t want the job of cleaning them!
Great photo … vandalism makes me ggrrowwwwwwwllll.
Property destruction is so senseless. Love the window.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
What a shame! I get really angry at vandals who look at something that took time and skill to make and decide to make their own mark on the world, not by making something themselves, but by spending a few seconds to destroy other people’s work.
It’s a great picture of a very cute old sheep, though. I’m glad you noticed and recorded it while you could.
Wonderful windows, Gilly. That sheep is quite unique. I just can’t get my head around vandalism.
It seems that we have windows that we took photos of before destruction. I am glad that you too, took a photo before the damage. Great photo. I like the sheep being there, The diamond shape of each little piece of window glass is wonderful. It would have been great to photograph rain through those or even on those window diamonds. Nice diamond in the rough
The only thought I had about the decapitated sheep is that it could have been worse. Imagine having to replace one of these windows? I sort of doubt you can do just one pane if only one was broken. I’m here: http://photovignettes.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/thursdays-windows-week-6/
Pretty window. Sad about the vandalism
That is so cool. A sheep outside the window. Uniquely amazing!
I love this shot… and so sad that someone chose to destroy it. Shame on them!
How sad
