Mrs. Barbarian's shot

What a beautiful indoor rainbow display there must be when the sun hits those flowers!

That is beautiful.  WOW!!!

Where was this taken?

This one was taken in the Dallas Museum of Art.   That's a mosaic you see through the window on the outside.   When Casey gets home, the first thing we do is go to all the art museums in the area to see what's new.  He's got a degree in Art History and still loves it.

I love all the colors.

That is amazing.  Where do they get these ideas?

They used to make window glass that way (minus the colors, of course).    They'd blow a bubble of glass, open one end, and then spin the pipe to make a flat disk until it hardened.   They'd cut panes out of the disk, then.    The center, with a bumpy, rippled texture, was "bulls-eye glass" and was cheaper than the flat panes.   You see it on very old houses where the builder economized.

(not my image)

That would create some some spectacular rainbow effects in the room where those panes were. 

I would love to see that close up.  It would be beautiful.

They do make beautiful window effects.  But it would make it hard to see out and snoop on the neighbors.   

I think it looks cool. But as Jeanne said, it does make it hard to spy on the neighbors.

Hi Barbarian,
I love those images you posted on "Glass On Glass."
It reminded me of an Architecture Photography that I shot in Toronto.
I like to share it. Here it is. I call it "Within The Cloud Catcher."

Shot with my point and shoot camera, Canon SX10
one morning on my way to babysit my sweet granddaughter.

Here is another interesting Architecture.
It has Chinese touch. I call it, "An Evening of Colors."

Shot at Toronto Chinese Lantern Festival in 2007, with Fuji S2 Pro.

I suppose that is what I would like...Not spying and not being spied on!

The following pictures are beautiful!

Ah, but Judy, an old lady living alone needs something to occupy her time (other than the computer   ) and the comings and goings of the neighbors serves that purpose.  

In the "Within the Cloud Catcher" it does look as though the smaller building is indeed inside the larger one.  

Jeanne there's always books, Bible, sewing, knitting, crocheting, quilting.  I really  got turned off with someone who lived here with us always saying "Oh! Look what the neighbour is doing!". 

Judy, please believe me, that was all "tongue in cheek"!  I do not "spy" on my neighbors - I sure don't have time to stay glued to the window watching anyone else. 

I know that Jeanne!  I am teasing but also giving some perspective as to why I don't watch my neighbours.  We live in the boonies and have 2 neighbours that we can see.  The one house has 2 little kiddies that we love to watch at play.  The other is a good neighbour. We all seem to be there for each other, but also mind our own business.  While this person was with us we knew everything that the neighbours did....it was always too much information!

Splendid shot of a building apparently enclosed by another building.    I like the humor in it, as well as the beauty.   Great work.

Thanks, Barbarian.

Excellent colours and arrangement of the glass flowers echoed by the mural in across the courtyard.
