Steve wondered about the internal stained glass of the synagogue. I think R took these photos when he visited The 'Gog during an Open House day. I too have taken photos but I can't immediately find them.
So these windows are what are on the inside the externally brightly lit but opaque windows. Some are not great photos.

It looks fascinating. Despite my heritage I don't think I have ever been inside a synagogue.
ReplyDeleteEC, I can only describe it as church like, except for the gallery above the main floor where women sit.
DeleteThat second photo really shows off the windows quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteYep Bob, that photo does indeed.
DeleteThe ceiling looks like alien spaceship. The stained glasses look great.
ReplyDeleteRoentare, with the ceiling being a copper dome but seems filled with light.
DeleteThe windows are lovely. Are they made in such a way the colours are only seen when inside the Synagogue?
ReplyDeleteYes River, and I think the exterior lighting must be on too.
DeleteHow beautiful. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them Sandra. Thanks.
DeleteOdd imagery in the windows Andrew, one looked like two lighthouses leaning into each other. I'm struck by how all "holy" places look alike.

I know WWW. I don't understand the images, even though I really like them. A church is a church is a synagogue, a temple, a mosque.
DeleteI've never seen a place of worship quite like that. Very modern. It is interesting to get a glimpse inside though.
ReplyDeleteDebby, the stained glass looks modern but the building is quite old. I don't know any more than that.
DeleteNever been inside of one, now I know what that one looks like.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, much like a church but a bit different.
DeleteThe stained glass is beautiful, very vibrant.
ReplyDeleteJB, it was good to see the inside, what we can't see from the outside.
DeleteOh, now I see! Love the colors and the contemporary designs. Thanks for posting these and answering my questions. :)
ReplyDeleteSteve, they were surprising to me and I like them.
DeleteInteresting designs on the windows.
ReplyDeleteJayCee, some are rather strange, but that is ok.
DeleteNice space, colorful windows.
ReplyDeleteThanks TP.
DeleteI don't think that's what I would expect from Gog windows, thought they'd be more serious or something. Depict various forms of suffering.
ReplyDeleteI did too Strayer. I don't have a clue about the meaning of any of them.
DeleteI like the modern stained glass. Especially in an older building.

DeleteMosaics, stained glass, and murals you've shared make me happy. I wish I'd trained as an artisan. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLike me Darla, it wasn't meant to be.
