After watching the Blue Angels fly over campus, the architecture reminds me of a stack of jets taking off. Beautiful capture.

Another grand view of the Chapel. I find it wonderfully interesting that the outside can present such a stark and sharp image and inside a much warmer, comforting enviroment. Bravo on the entire series!

One of the prettiest images of this chapel I've ever seen. When I was there in 1960 for the Boy Scout Jamboree, we worshipped there on Sunday. During the years I was stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs ('71-'73), the chapel roof leaked and leaked! I presume it is now fixed. We MUST have a meet-up in CSC/Denver.
