How to build a Cathedral, part 11

Christ the Light Cathedral in Oakland, California, December 2007

Here we see the Omega window. In the picture above the rectangular pieces are all in place. Each piece has a straight diagonal line, but the way they are placed together creates an illusion of a curve. Below we see the window with one piece missing (at the top).

Below we see the Alpha window which now has some glass. The steps here will form the main entry to the cathedral.

  1. At first I thought it was a joke, that you were calling this a cathedral. I know that Oakland has many churches and cathedral-aspiring buildings, but I would say that this is finally an answer to SF's beautifully sloping white Grace Cathedral at the end of Geary... almost.

    Thanks for putting up photos, was curious.
