Klosterkirche St. Anna im Lehel
is a Catholic abbey church in Munich, Germany.
It was the first Rococo church of Old Bavaria and shaped the development of religious architecture in Bavaria.
It is located in the center of Lehel opposite to the neo-romanesque Catholic parish church of St. Anna im Lehel.

Religious Buildings Series
Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October
Or, the separation of church and foyer. I found this 'ghost town' relic, along with a few other abandoned buildings, while seeking out old grain elevators in rural Saskatchewan. The foyer is separating from the main body of the church. Like most of the buildings in the former town, the church (and the elevators) was in very bad condition.
The Agioi Anargyri chapel at Cape Greco, just east of Ayia Napa, Cyprus, seems to be part of the landscape. Even its colour scheme reflects the off-white lime stone rocks and the deep blue sea. Below, there is a cave where, legend has it, saints lived as hermits a long time ago. Religion, the land, and the sea, as one coherent and inseparable whole. Not quite. This chapel dates to the late 20th century and reflects the tendency of the Cypriot Orthodox Church to claim territory and monopolise the narrative. But I do appreciate the beauty of the place and can understand why couples would wish to have this breathtaking venue for their wedding ceremony. Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35.

Le Tréport le 19 02 15. Nous sommes un jeudi. Une série supplémentaire à cette cité qui ne me lasse pas par sa simplicité désarmante.
Ma 17ème série sur ce port.

Un vécu à chaque fois renouvelé. Un refrain du fonds des temps ! Déambulations toujours enivrantes. Et cette mer toujours en offrande.
Biscoitos, Terceira island, Azores archipelago.
The cult of the Holy Spirit (Culto do Divino Espírito Santo) is a religious sub-culture, inspired by Christian millenarian mystics, associated with Azorean Catholicidentity.
La plupart des communes des Açores ont construit de telles chapelles où se déroule chaque année, peu après Pâques, le culte de l'Esprit Saint, avec partage et distribution de plats traditionnels, couronnement de l'empereur, etc. Notez la couronne au sommet du pignon qui symbolise ce culte pratiqué avec ferveur par les habitants de l'archipel.
Most of the municipalities of the Azores have built such chapels where the worship of the Holy Spirit takes place every year -shortly after easter-, with sharing and distribution of traditional dishes, coronation of the emperor, etc. Note the crown at the top of the gable that symbolizes this cult practiced fervently by the inhabitants of the archipelago.

On one day during our last trip to Dubai we took our rental car all the way to Abu Dhabi to visit the famous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It still had a large ring of construction around it. But once we made our way through the construction area (and then on foot through a huge empty underground parking garage ... how very romantic...) it is indeed quite peaceful und impressive. We timed our arrival perfectly for sunset and the blue hour and when the lights of the mosque finally turned on they even got reflected by that vast polished marble floor. This particular shot I aligned very carefully to give justice to the almost perfect symmetry of the building.
