Description
A direct upward photograph providing a detailed view of the large multi-panel "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window integrated into the chapel's main entrance facade.
The image features:
* Window Iconography & Structure: Captures four tiers of a twelve-panel aluminum-framed window assembly. The upper sections prominently feature a dark blue chalice/ciborium motif and a lower covered ciborium or altar dome, surrounded by radiating dark glass tesserae line-work set in a light matrix.
* Regional Fieldstone Wall: The window is framed on both sides by prominent Southwestern-style fieldstone masonry, featuring irregularly shaped river rocks and fieldstones embedded in light mortar.
* Technical & Preservation Details: Shows the external aluminum structural mullions holding the individual faceted glass panels, recording mortar joint condition, frame seals, and surface cleanliness for the architectural record.
* Exterior Lighting: Captured in diffuse natural exterior light, displaying the graphic silhouette effect of the embedded glass pieces from the building's exterior before removal.
