DDWs March Challenge - Chatoyant

The word "chatoyant" apparently comes from French, and describes a particular kind of lustre, which changes with the light.

This is the top portion of the stained glass window behind the alter at the church I attend. I find this part fascinating, because its a different colour every week. If you look closely, you can see different coloured glass in all of the triangles. Today, with dull skies, they are a lemony green. Last week, with the sun shining, the principle colour was bright red. It all depends on the strength of the sun, and which bits of glass catch the light.
