The Interior - First Congregational Church, downtown Portland, Oregon
The Povey Brothers designed and made the stained glass windows.
The pipes certainly are beautiful. Wish I could have heard the organ.
The craftsmanship makes these details exquisite.
More curves and arches--they're throughout the sanctuary.
I don't like those light fixtures one bit. Can you find the two people standing in front of the window? If you do, you'll be able to tell just how huge it is.
Thank you for sharing these visual morsels of spiritual eye candy. Churches give us so much color and beauty - the details, the gothic arches and strength in its architecture. I love churches.
Beautiful photos - did you use a tripod?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful details. Great photo series.

Classic stained glass scenes are so much more satisfying than today's modern attempts. Beautiful windows, and warm inviting interior! Nicely done!
