Stained Glass Olive Tree and Dove Arch Window

Picture of olive tree window from the inside of the home. I took many pictures but none were free of shadows. I think it was the angle I was taking them in.

Picture of the window from the exterior. The window's vibrant hues come alive depending on which side is receiving light. In the daytime the window's colors and design is best appreciated indoors with natural light shining thought its stained glass. At night, when the lights are on in the room, the window can be seen from the exterior.


This triple glazed window required a 12 ft scaffold (Scaffolding is a temporary frame used to support people and material in the installation of large pieces of glass. It is usually a modular system of metal pipes) and two men for installation because of height location, weight and size. The installation was about 2-1/2 hours due to the scaffold set up and handling of the glass window. Scaffolding is usually rented and adds cost to the installation.
