Stained Glass ~ Washington National Cathedral

Get ready for photo overload. I have so many photos to share from our trip to Washington D.C. that I’ll have to break my posts down to different aspects of each spot I visited. The Washington National Cathedral was amazing to visit. Today I’ll share the Windows for Ruby Tuesday with Mary at Work of the Poet.

This is the Space Window which holds a piece of moon rock brought back by the crew of Apollo XI.

 

One theme, told moving from the west to east, is the story of redemption through faith. Beginning at the west facade and west rose window with the story of creation, this theme continues through the clerestory windows, and ends with the sculpture of Christ in Majesty at the high altar.

Christ in Majesty at the high altar.

This series of 3 photos shows 6 of the 12 disciples of Jesus.

 

I’ll be posting more photos of the Washington National Cathedral in the next couple of days.

 

Last Night in D.C.

This photo is from last night. We took a moonlight monument tour in Washington D.C.

Tonight is also our last night in D.C. We’ll be back in Washington state tomorrow morning.

It’s been wonderful to be in our nation’s Capital but I’m looking forward to being back in our other Washington.

Woohoo! My brother Leonard is in Baltimore for a business trip and he’s going to drive for an hour to come and meet up with us! What a fun turn of events. Leonard lives in Dallas with his family and we don’t often get to see each other. A very nice way to cap off our trip to D.C.

Blessings…

 

Union Station

Here is another example of beautiful architecture here in Washington D.C.  This is a photo inside Union Station which is close to the Capitol. Today I’m going to try to see some sights before the thunderstorms roll in this afternoon!

Blessings on your new week…

 

Besides Sightseeing…

…we are tasting.

El Salvadorian, Turkish, Italian, Seafood, Irish, and homemade granola and yogurt.

What day is it? The whole downtown area of D.C. is filled with police officers from all over the country so I feel a little safer walking around. I figure if I need help all I have to do is scream and there will be a policeman from somewhere nearby…

Today I’m going to brave a taxi ride to a destination I can’t get to by public transit. Hmm… I’ll let you know how that goes.

 

D.C. Photo of the Day…

Thomas Jefferson Memorial

We saw this on our first day here from the D.C. Trolley.

I spent some time at the Portrait Gallery today. Then I checked out the Postal Museum and Union Station. Tonight I’m just taking it easy in the hotel room while Dear is attending some meetings. I’m so glad Blogger got things and is getting things fixed. Happy weekend to all of you!
