the breathtaking oculus, flanked by two beautiful hanging lights sheds an array of colors all over the floor of the dining room in the abandoned JN Adam Tuberculosis Sanatorium in perrysburg, ny. many years ago president McKinley was shot under this dome while attending the pan-am exposition in buffalo, ny in 1901 where it stood at the temple of music, but was fortunetly saved from being destroyed.

One of New York's new landmarks, the Oculus, is a white building made of steel ribs or “oculi” that stretch up from the base and meet at the top, giving it a skeletal look. It's supposed to resemble a bird in flight, but to me, it looks more like a fish tail.
It's a real challenge to capture the full range of detail in here due to the contrast in lighting from the darkness of the lower walls to the bright sky above. This image is composed from four HDR bracketed exposures in order to try and simulate the view inside. I'm pleased with the result, but you just have to be there in person to appreciate the majestic scale.
Très contente de voir que le vitrail de l'Abbaye de la Fille-Dieu endommagé par la grêle en 2009 a été remplacé par une nouvelle version, encore plus colorée et intéressante que l'originale.
Adieu à 2010 - je souhaite à tous mes contacts et amis une excellente nouvelle année, qui comblera tous vos espoirs et souhaits!

Happy to see that the round window of the abbaye de la Fille-Dieu, damaged by a violent hailstorm in 2009, has been replaced by a new and brighter version of the original.
With this I bid farewell to 2010 and wish you all a 2011 to fulfil all your hopes and aspirations!
Picture of the old oculus here, if you scroll down. And if you click on the link next to the yellow NEW, you see a press cutting of the benediction of the new oculus with a photo of it in situ.

one of the many arches surrounding the walls of the former dining room beneath the beautiful oculus at the JN Adams Tuberculosis Sanatorium in perrysburg, ny. i found it interesting that the paint, wallpaper and wood were all deteriorating but the lights above the arch were maintaining integrity.
