My Christmas Vacation

Wayfarer's steeple

Because I know many people are eager to see photographs from my time in California, I've decided to dedicate a couple posts to satisfying this demand. Today's little gallery features Wayfarer's Chapel, a small church designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank) in Palos Verdes.

Wayfarer's chapel

As you can see, the chapel itself is virtually transparent because it is constructed almost entirely of glass.

Wayfarer's courtyard

It's perched up on a hill, but the land around it is pretty elaborately landscaped.

Wayfarer's ocean view

And the view out to the ocean is nothing to sneeze at.

Wayfarer's wreath

We didn't get a chance to go inside the chapel because a service was being held. But I did get this shot of the horizontally hung wreath that seemed to hover above the pews.

There were also other "architectural elements" around the chapel, such as this colonnade.

Next time: perhaps some big waves or roses from the Huntington Library... try to contain your excitement!
