I would LOVE to worship in The Rock Church, or the one built into the face of the rock cliff. The church in Colombia looks like something out of The Lord of The Rings!

Thanks for sharing Linda.

Number 11: The Annuciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last commissions - in fact, he died before groundbreaking. It may not look so futuristic and outrageous today, but in 1959, it was startling and controversial.

More photos of the church here. (There was a great deal of heartburn a few years ago when a cross was added to the roof, because the cross was not a part of Wright's original plan. Wright also designed the Marin County California Civic Center at the same time, and it uses similar design details, which both share with the http://www.racinecounty.com/golden/about.htm at the Johnson Wax headquarters. Wright and Sam Johnson had a good, albeit stormy, working relationship.)

That's cool Ann! I bet it's gorgeous on the inside on a bright sunny day. (And, I can't believe they showed a picture of the turkish toilet! :yuck: which reminds me, I need to schedule my Chinese visa...)
