Window Views: Colored Church Windows


“Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it."
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

On a recent drive Hubs and I took a drive around the neighborhoods that border our city park. These windows lined one side of a local church. I can only imagine the colors that reflect on the walls inside. I'm thinking on a bright sunny day that might be quite beautiful although a little bit distracting during the sermon. :)

    I agree with Thom. I am sure theses glass windows are a lovely addition to the inside lighting.

    It must be a pretty sight when the sun shines.

    The colors may not be distracting during the sermon - it might even keep the old men and teenagers awake. Great post.

    churches and stained glass windows just seem to go together. These are beautiful.

    A kaleidoscope of colors is what I think it creates when sun hits those windows.

    Love brick buildings.

    Carletta,

    These are very unusual, and I can imagine - very beautiful with the sun shining through.

    I think I would have to visit that church just to see! (I just realized I forgot to comment on this post...) I don't think I have ever seen windows like those.

    I've never seen stained glass done like this before, but I agree, it must be a pretty sight on a bright day! Nice find!

    Isn't it amazing the effect you can achieve just by using coloured panes, instead of clear glass?
    Lovely shots, Carletta.

    As pretty as the windows are, I would love to see the rest of the church. Excellent photos, Carletta! Your frame color is perfect.

    Those are beautiful...the distractions would be the right kind of distractions...maybe?

    Hopefully the sun doesn't shine through until late afternoon.
