Zoar is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, that was founded by German religious separatists in 1817, and survived as a communal settlement for more than 80 years. Many of the original buildings still exist, as does a large public garden that occupies a central area of the village. The gardens, part of which are seen here, are said to be preserved and maintained as they were in the 1800s.

Sagrada FamÃlia, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basÃlica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni GaudÃ. Iniciada en 1882, todavÃa está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de GaudÃ, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artÃstica de GaudÃ: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una sÃntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudà logró una perfecta armonÃa en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristÃas junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudà aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni GaudÃ. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is GaudÃ's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of GaudÃ's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudà achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudà applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

Fountains Abbey, near Ripon, Yorkshire, England
Founded in 1132 Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. The Abbey operated until 1139. It is now a National Trust (NT) property.
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 Chancel at the far end of St John The Baptist church in Shepherds Bush looking resplendent picked out in bright gold.
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.
Oh, I want you to know I’m okay,
I just need to know that you’re waiting
You’re waiting for me
The cross here is very special for me. That’s the only religious sign I wear on. The Ankh is the symbol of love between man and woman and a symbol of Eternity, of life beyond life (like the Infinity symbol In Mathematics). It’s also very similar of the symbol of Venus.
It could be the symbol of Eternal Love.
Inspired from this song, beautiful, full of sadness and melancholy

Note that the theme is common but we don't know what will be put by the other!
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.
