Bringing in Some Light into your Life

In this fast moving life one gets bogged down by the pace of it. One tries to get some peace from this entire malady. Some take a vacation others simply burn themselves out. I took a vacation and that led me to discover the power of colored glass over your emotions.

I visited the State house Rotunda which is located in New Jersey, United States. The State Capitol Building is a work of art inside and out. The rotunda is surrounded by stained glass and eagle lines in the balconies. The dispersion of the light inside by the stained glass is magical. Though the stained glass was completed towards the end of 20th century thanks to the renovation work the glass looks as good as new. The paintings on the glass reflect the contemporary time of that era. I felt really awed when that evening light fell on me through the stained glass. One would feel as if he is now partaking in the history depicted on the glass. My favorite glass piece is a simple stained glass having a blue round. I believe that symbolizes an ocean, which is surrounded by olive leaves set on an iron fence. The color dispersion here gave me a nostalgic feeling.
