I guess nobody likes architecture, India, or God around here…

I like two of those things and neither like nor dislike the thing that doesn’t exist.

Those houses of worship remind me of southwestern postmodern architecture. Some of them would look right at home in Taos.

Fun stuff! I see the Art Deco, but I also see something approaching Googie in there too. It would be fun to have a little model street car layout (like a model train) with a town of miniature buildings in that style. I’ve always wanted to do a model train layout where the train cars are miniature parade floats in the best Italian Carnevale style.

This article reminded me of this majestic beast, King’s Cathedral, in Maui that looks like Space Mountain. http://altongarrison.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/kingschapel-kahului-hi.jpg
