Look up!


Vaulted stained glass ceiling of the Grand Concourse restaurant in Pittsburgh, where family celebrated a wedding over the weekend. Apparently these windows were covered with tar and plywood for decades.

  1. I love this picture and the title. My Grandfather always told me to look up...he said that was when you saw the most interesting things. He was right!

  3. Any other Canadians here, if they're old enough, might remember the Friendly Giant children's television show, and he used to say to the audience every day, "now look up, wayyyyy up..." Whenever I hear that phrase I think of that. :-)

  4. Just beautiful Jennifer - to really look is to find treasure.

  5. Why in the world anyone would want to hide those behind tar and boards is beyond me.

    Very very pretty. :-)
