Nikon D750, Nikkor 18-35 f3.5-4.5
Doesn’t really look like a religious building, nevertheless it is. It is a landmark on top of the Edelareberg, near Oudenaarde and is constructed in concrete, considered to be build in a brutalism architectural style.
The construction of the lighthouse was completed in 1992 and it became operational in 1994. The tower with a focal height of 52 m is built of reinforced concrete columns. Materials used in its construction were brought in specially, including the white gravel, and coloured concrete used to produce the white finish. A system of sliding scaffolding was used to complete the project within a few months in 1992.

After completion in 1966 was left empty for many years since the owner wanted a single tenant. Then for 33 years was the headquarters of the Confederation of the British Industry. It has been converted in a residential building now.
Isn't that a brutal architectural style. The Armenians don't have an ancient architect to blame for this styling as this cathedral was built between 1997 and 2001. Religion was suppressed in Armenia when the country was part of the Soviet Union so just like in neighbouring Georgia a statement cathedral was built in the countries capital following independence.
Where does the cathedral gets its unusual name. Wikipedia states that in 328 AD St Gregory the Illuminator was the first official head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. He converted Armenia to Christianity thus making it the first nation in the world to accept Christianity as its national religion.
As for the equally blunt statue, this depicts General Andranik who led Armenia to its all too brief independence in 1918. By 1920 the nation had been incorporated into The Soviet Union. It would be 1991 before Armenia regained its independence.

This set is from a day out with some fellow Flickrites, namely, InvernoDreaming , [Photom] , Andy Feltham... and myself. Despite wandering around separately we have come away with some strikingly similar shots but I guess it was inevitable given that we are fans of similar types of photography and were in the same area...
Thanks go to Tom Sebastiano for coming up with the idea and to Tom Westbury for the location suggestion. A big thanks to Andy Feltham for putting up with me/putting me up.
A great day spent in wonderful company with people similarly afflicted. Could not have wished for a better group of people to do this with...
A couple of dramatic (and well-placed) contrails radiating behind the Christian Science Center Plaza at late twilight. With Reflection Hall (now home of the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra) and the Mother Church in the foreground at the end of the reflecting pool. Reflection Hall is one of a trio of Brutalist buildings designed by Araldo Cossutta of I. M. Pei & Associates ringing the reflecting pool.
