STAINED GLASS WINDOW at FAIRMONT BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL - Window 7 of 7

Click on the pic for a larger view.

 

Here is one of many stained glass windows at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel.

 

One of the large rooms, which I think is Mt. Stephen Hall, has 5 large windows in it, plus others. Each of these 5 windows has 3 stained glass images on it. There are another two stained glass images on other windows in this area. Whether this is Mt. Stephen Hall or not, this indoor area looks outside toward the courtyard where the Mountie statue is located. So I am talking about the 17 stained glass images I saw in this area. I may have missed some, too!

 

For the 5 windows that each have 3 stained glass images in them, the stained glass in the center is always a large image with some Latin phrase on it. Additionally, for the other 2 images on each of the 5 windows, both of the images have the same color in the circle that surrounds the images. Maple leaves, flowers and shamrocks are common.

 

 

You can find photos of these stained glass windows at this hotel, but finding close-up images of all of the stained glass images on these windows is more challenging. Hence my attempt at taking individual photos of all of the images and posting them separately so you can zoom in if desired. Many of them had to be edited to show more detail, such as lightening them up.

 

So this picture is one of 17 possible photos – I will try to label them somehow.

 

This pic is from one of the small stained glass images from that room, or adjacent to that room but seen from above, where that window does not have 3 images in it. It just had one image.

 

I have several more similar pics here on Flickr of other stained glass images from that large room at the hotel. I will have all of these images in my Rocky Mountaineer album; you can find a link to that album elsewhere on this page.
