You're not in heaven--just Quebec. This is the Palais des Congrès, a convention center in Montreal. The west side of the building consists of 332 colored and 58 transparent glass panels measuring 5 by 12 feet. Whether you're inside or outside, the effect of the light on them is stunning.

See the spanish MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla-León), built in the spanish town of León in 2005. The Palais is earlier (2002) https://www.google.es/search?q=musac&safe=off&es_sm=119&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=wMpgU_DUJsSa1AWGg4FA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1047&bih=1585

I live in Montreal and I go to this place occasionally. It is indeed stunning. If you like stained glass, some of our metro (subway) stations also have impressive stained glass.
