House of The Rising Sun

About six weeks ago, while walking a friend to the Chinatown bus pickup on Central Avenue, I spotted this small stained glass window high in the turret of a brick building just a few doors from the Double Happiness bus' storefront office.

I tried several times to photograph the window - a stylized rising sun in shades from white to orange to black - but the light was always wrong. Until yesterday, a cold damp afternoon that wasn't really great for the St. Patrick's Day parade, but perfect for finally getting a picture of this window.
