The stained glass ceiling of Thanks-giving chapel, downtown Dallas.
The stained glass ceiling inside the Thanksgiving Chapel spirals upward to 58 feet in a crescendo of color, harmony, and form. It is called the Glory Window and designed by Gabriel Loire of Chartres, France, one of the greatest stained glass master of the 20th century.
Gabriel Loire describes this progression: "...to express all life, with its difficulties, its forces, its joys, its torments, its frightening aspects. And then bit by bit, all that falls away and your arrive finally at a burst, an explosion of gold; you arrive at the summit."

Thank you all. I was "belly up" when taking this photo. The camera was supported by a special tripod: both of my hands and the tip of my noise. I'm glad that the photo turn out all right.
