The church is Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, AZ. In 1932 Marguerite Bruswig Staude wanted to build a structure that would glorify her Creator and in thanksgiving for all that her family had received. She traveled throughout Europe looking for the ideal location. She returned to the United States and while her and her husband Tony traveled through Sedona, she was struck by the beauty of the area and decided that this chapel should be built here. “This would be a monument to faith, but a spiritual fortress so charged with God, that it spurs man's spirit godward".

    the sky looks a little overdosed with the ol' photoshop. i think it would have looked a little nicer with a natural tonal range. the white in the clouds is just a smidgen on the (too) gray side.
