A window in Sri Lanka by Peter Addor Via Flickr: On the south coast of Sri Lanka there are still many tsunami ruins, abandoned and crumbling houses destroyed by the 2004 tsunami. They are readily inhabited by various animals, including birds. Here is a window with broken panes and beautiful turnery. Yesterday I have "renovated" it a little in terms of colour.

thanks, giving, and peacefulness by bran10 Via Flickr: Beautiful. Looking up at steeple inside the small chapel at Thanks-giving Square, downtown Dallas, Texas This small multi/all denominational chapel holds so much.... - Peacefulness - One reviewer said she Google peaceful places, and this was one of the returns - Record display of stained glass - Largest display of horizontal stained glass in the world. - Place for all to give thanks - "Thanks-Giving Square is a great place to slow down, and appreciate the good things in your life. It's religious ambiguity is a deliberate attempt by the founders to avoid any one affiliation. The square is meant to be a place for anyone, regardless of belief, to come and take a moment to give thanks for the blessings of our lives. The chapel is small, but absolutely breathtaking when you step inside. You may leave a note in the bowl on the alter giving thanks, or take a moment to pray or meditate. The Thanks-Giving Foundation encourages you to lay on the floor, and look upwards. You will see a spiral of 73 stained-glass panels that make up the Glory Window. As the brochure explains, it is the largest display of horizontal stained glass in the world. The Foundation's web-site further describes that in the year 2000, the United Nations declared it the year of International Thanksgiving. The Glory Window appeared on the UN Stamp."
