Stained Glass : [noun] : colored glass used to form decorative or pictorial designs, notably for church windows, both by painting and especially by setting contrasting pieces in a lead framework like a mosaic.: : :
Here,
in the historic and beautiful Pacific County Courthouse
in the small southwestern Washington town of South Bend,
the stained glass in the top of the classic dome atop
the building is simply gorgeous.

We stopped by on a Saturday,
and the courthouse was closed, no surprise.
But a lady who works there was so gracious
to let us into see the beautiful rotunda and dome,
I’m so glad she did.

Sorry for those of you who came by looking for ‘Weekly Top Shot’ yesterday,
but we were camping along the Pacific Ocean in Grayland WA.
There was no wifi (no surprise there, there never is in state campgrounds),
but the app I had on my Samsung phone to make a free hotspot quit working
so I was unable to post anything until
we returned home
this afternoon.
