Where oh where is the stained glass??

The art of the stained glass is gradually finding itself absent from the very venue it was created for, churches. I have always enjoyed look at and photographing stained glass. During my recent trip to Augusta Georgia, I made a side trip, as I always do, to the local church hoping to find some old and distinguished glass, low and behold, I find painted glass instead. Although I love stained glass, the intricacies of the painted glass have caught my eye and my lens.
