Dual view

Looking up at some of the windows at Sagrada Familia. I found it fascinating that there was stained and clear glass side by side. This phenomenon occurs all over the church, so I have to think it was intentional.

I was there just yesterday with some friends and all the windows are now finished with some beautiful stained glass. The effects of the light are just spectacular.

Even a Google Image search did not find another image like this. Well done Helen! V V ...z

perhaps the clear glass provides better illumination of the interior, although the rich colour is eye-catching..

That is so interesting. I agree, they are both beautiful. Like Sam, I prefer the stained glass. Great image Helen. ~

Wow. What a contrast. Both styles are beautiful but I really do prefer the stained glass.

Amazing capture, Helen. I've never seen something like that. From the thumbnail I thought this was two images. V

Perfectly captured contrast between those windows, excellent exposure, Helen. V.

The stained glass is superb! Perhaps they ran out of money or just wanted to make a statement. V

marie-jose wolff		13-Aug-2013 21:26
incredible contrast between the two windows! V

it just needed a really good photographer to line it all up without a trace of blow-out; brilliant

Very interesting. As if the colour has been stripped (or added) from one. A superb capture of these two. V
