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?
Anthony chapel at garvan gardens in hot springs AR.
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…
Fuck me do you use some flowery language. I hope you comment half as much as I do, cause I could read this shit all day.
Thank you, @YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today !
And I wish you success, stability, safety, and peace, too!
Not OP, but that looks like Anthony Chapel in HotSprings, Arkansas, USA.
I feel like I’ve seen this place used in a tv show.
Secret cut scene from the Red Wedding episode.
Either this or one very similar was in True Blood, the Fellowship of the Sun church.
Something something throne made of swords
Looks like a chapel by the same architect was used in the first kelvin timeline star trek movies
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.
This is actually the sister chapel to Thorncrown in eureka springs!
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.
Being here in a rain storm would be my dream
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.
Not quite the same, but church forests are actually a part of Ethiopian orthodox religious tradition.

This was so cool to learn about! Thanks dude!
I gives a bunch of spears feel along with a nature feel. Would be perfect for nordic especially odin.
it looks good but the acoustics seems to be bad
Damn, the religious have fine taste.
Note to self: looks like a place of quiet contemplation, but whatever you do, don’t bring the cat!
Dunno who dv’d you but you’re absolutely right!
You know one of dem little shits is going to try and get on those rafters! And that thought scares me.
Well I know where to go on the next road trip. I’m just up in Missouri a few hours away.
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.
Wasn’t this in the first season of Sliders?
The metal bars up there are what is keeping that roof from collapsing over them. Science and engineering protection mind washing.
