IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

  Just a plain stained glass window to create an effect of refracted coloured
  light on the floor. I also added the pillars to show how the colours look
  when reflected differently.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  Using diffused coloured glass and some working out of lightrays and 
  refraction to produce a coloured effect.I produced the scaling 
  quality of the spiral pillars by changing the Index of Refraction
  to different values between 1.73 and 3.00. I added waves to the glass
  to make it look like it was the old lead glass.
