Beautifully intimidating houses of God by Christoph Morlinghaus
<< Back
Architectural miracles Jul 07, 2009 at 03:47
Even if some say they are designed as an intimidating reminder of our relative insignificance when compared to a supposed almighty power they are still some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. German born, NY based photographer Christoph Morlinghaus visited a number of architecturally striking houses of worship to create an amazing series of images that capture the enormity of these structures with their symmetry and repetition highlighted in a way that it's impossible not to admire regardless of your philisophical views on religion. When taken out of context, the structures in some of these images reflect what you could imagine the interiors of space ships or alien housing to look like. I wander if there's something in that... Perhaps TomKat could shed some light on the matter while they're in our fine city. Hmm.

Anyway, they are breathtaking images. You should probably check them out (they're to the right of this post)

For more Christoph Morlinghaus photographs (which are all pretty amazing) please visit www.morlinghaus.com
