For some people the first image to pop into their heads at the mention of color is a rainbow, for me it's stained glass windows. I especially love the two featured above. The first is by German artist Gerhard Richter who created the window to replace the cathedral's original, which was destroyed beyond repair in WWII. The second window is from the Thanksgiving Square Cathedral in Dallas, Texas and was photographed by flickr user shawnoconnell23.

they are both incredible, but the second one is awesome in the truest sense of the word.
These are truly amazing and can't help but to make you happy.
Love the second one!
Wow this spiral one is wicked awesome! Your comment greeting is adorable by the way.
Looooove Gerhardt Richter!
There is something about the way stained glass radiates and diffuses light that gets to the very essence of color. I'd love to live in a house with all colored windows!
