Photo Blog : Stained Glass

I love looking at original stained glass. I could just look and look at them like how people stop in front of great masterpieces and just stare, wondering what the artist was trying to evoke.

So, what goes on in my mind while I look at a stained glass? Well, nothing special or mind blowing, just in awe as to what it would have taken them to make such beautiful vivid renditions! You can tell the ones that were done in the 16th Century and the ones in the 20th by the vividness of the colours. And up close, they look painted.

Considering how the future is supposed to be more technologically advanced, it's surprising that the replaced pieces are very one dimensional.
