Inside/Outside
My favorite part of the chapel was the way the window design blurred the boundaries between inside and outside, making sitting in a pew in the chapel feel like sitting on a log in the woods.

The Way
The Patient Spouse and I recently took a trip to Arkansas and saw this architectural landmark – Thorncrown Chapel – for the first time. The P. S. has loved this building since the first time it showed up in the pages of architectural magazines.

This was one of those times – the cemetery itself held little interest. But this: the glass was gone and the fan was on (even though no one was around and the shack was locked**) pulling damp air inside.

*Even though one of my photography teachers (let’s just call him “Keith Carter” since that was his name) was adamant about not shooting cemeteries. But then again, he’s famous and I’m not, for what that’s worth.
**Of course I checked.
