US Air Force Chapel

Built in 1963 on the campus of the US Air Force Academy just north of Colorado Springs, CO, the Chapel is a marvel of geometric aluminum pillars and colorful stained glass windows.

This inter-faith facility has separate worship areas for Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and other religions. The shape of the front and rear glass panels remind me of fighter jets and the space shuttle.

The Chapel stands 150 feet tall and capped with 17 spires. The colors of the stained glass become lighter as you approach the altar and to God. Though the IS helped with hand-holding, I wished I had my DSLR with the 17-40mm wide angle to capture it all.
