    The metal bars up there are what is keeping that roof from collapsing over them. Science and engineering protection mind washing.

    It is both brutalist and highly natural. Like you got caught in Spider Pope’s webs. He is going to spin you up, read you your last rights, and then inject you with venom as your last moments are angelic and terrifying.

    Thank you heartfelt for the share… Ineffably magnificent work of art… ingenious marvel of great experience expressed… and human effort and love…

    May I ask what is the location of the miracle?

        Roger that! Appreciated! I haven’t been in USA much (for just 2 months accumulated for works), residing mostly in Europe and Asia, but dear I so much hope to at least once visit… such miraculous places… and see such an effort of human work alive…

        I am so sorry but I can’t help but be a little pedantic, but this is not in the national park. I believe garvan gardens is privately owned.

        Edit: I didn’t mean for expratiadico to delete their comment. I was just shooting from the hip and it seems I caught an innocent in the recklessness. I’m sorry expatriado

    Been to the Mildred B Cooper chapel and the ThornCrown chapel In Arkansas. This feels like they have to be in that same school of architecture.

    Very much not a religious person but there really is something special about these buildings. Gives the perfect nature is a religion vibe.

    Reminds me of a shower thought I had a while ago: why aren’t more churches/temples basically groves in forests? Even in an urban environment, why not cultivate some grand trees as a little forested oasis?

    You could still put covers against rain and lights, fires and heaters against the dark and cold. Statues, murals and structures too.

    Dunno, maybe I just like trees a lot.

    Watch out. As soon as you retrieve the idol from the alter those blades are going to start falling. If you run flat out down the nave you might be able to slide under the portcullis just before it grinds shut. Don’t forget to grab your hat.
