There was something very mysterious about this round stained glass window showing moon phases. It was built into the north wall of a small chapel situated in Old Town Albuquerque. The wall is of adobe construction, and is thus very thick.

This one is worth researching to learn about the artist or craftsman, and what its full meaning is -- Notice the seemingly random spread of symbols at and between the lines' intersections? Very nice and mysterious shot.

Good point Stuart,

 

This chapel is very Christian in its motif and is dedicated to "Our Lady of Guadalupe" who is very important to those of long Hispanic heritage, but this design looks out of place amongst the other more traditional displays and icons - almost pagan. Those marks at the intersections seem to have something to do with events during the lunar cycle. I'll have to find time to ask about it.

 

I forgot to add that this was at ISO800, shutter 1/40
