Prepare for Takeoff

Another old shot I've never got round to processing properly. This is the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel in Colorado Springs.

Built in 1962, it consists of seventeen spires. Gaps between the spires are filled with coloured glass, causing the entire chapel to be lit up with this incredible light on a sunny day.

Another shot that benefits from being viewed large.

The shape looks so sci-fi it's surreal. :)
Love the colours & all the angles. Perfect symmetry too.
