church install part 4

Had to take some quick shots of some of the lovely stained glass here... back when I used to be dragged to Catholic Mass every Sunday as  kid, I didn't care for it much, except for the music and the stained glass. I can sit and stare at it for hours, regardless of content. It's such a great thing to do with sunlight...
This huge triptych window behind the altar is from Louis Comfort  Tiffany's shop; about 100 years old. Yeah, that Tiffany.

Not a Tiffany piece, but the angle of the sun was perfect thru this one at the moment I was free to take a pic.

This is another Tiffany design... the painting and textures of the glass are so subtle... just beautiful. Note the face: the glass there is thinner, so it glows brighter.

The last of the three Tiffany pieces:

Next: A good look at the organ!
