more missouri picts

some pictures are on my camera and some are on my phone.  I didn't have them both on before i made the last post.

 The above is picture from the Lewis and Clark museum

 The above is a picture from the Purina Farms stadium we trialed in.

 The above and below are one of the amazing Clydes  Don't you love my butt shot.

 This is a beautiful cathedral in St. Louis, but not the Basilica.

 These are from the basilica.  The red ceiling,in fact all you see, is tiny pieces of class.  The red is breathtaking.  The artist destroyed the left over glass and dye after he finished this ceiling.

 These designs are all tiny pieces of glass, and the faces actually have expression, can you imagine that.  And doing it all on your back.  They had to draw the design in reverse, then place all the pieces of glass on it, then put plaster on the ceiling and then take this piece of paper and press the design into the ceiling.  I can't even fathom it.

 The pulpit above.  The below is the floor in the quiet sanctuary spot where Pope Paul came and had his private prayer.  The floor is what ......... a quilt pattern.

 This is a window where you come in.  it is Tiffany glass.  One of the few places in the world where any is left anymore as the Germans bombed the churches in Europe and destroyed it.

 This is looking into the room with the red ceiling.

 This is the major pulpit where the priest stands during big or special services like big weddings or funerals of big shots where no other spot is big enough.

 Isn't this ceiling just incredible.  I was just in awe the whole time.  It truly gave you goosebumps.
