Hi, loved your post and I thought I should share also the ones that I liked during my traveling:
First one is a wooden church from the region Maramures – Romania. You can also see the oldest wooden church in the Village Museum in Bucharest

The 2nd one is one of the many so called “painted churches” from the region Bucovina- Romania. These are original paintings on the outside walls, and nobody can duplicate the paint formula. I was told that one of the churches has an ancient painting of UFO’s on one of the walls…worth trying to investigate…

Next is one of my favourites, a real oasis of peace and spiritual connection. It was built in 1509 in a very remote area somewhere in Valcea County (Romania).

about the church with the Shell logo.
it doesnt actually say Shell on it. Imagine looking at that not knowing it was the shell logo.
It would look like a sunrise. A perfect thing to put on the front of a church.

The San Diego Temple is cool but somehow it looks less like a church than a monastery. We Italians tend to associate the word ‘church’ with buildings shaped like a big (even huge) house (http://www.earth-photography.com/photos/Countries/Italy/Italy_Vatican_StPeters.jpg), not like a fortress or a castle (more like what I associate the San Diego Temple with). At the end of the day it does say ‘temple’ doesn’t it? Maybe the implication is that it’s something more than a ’simple’ church – though us Catholics much prefer simplicity to complexity where churches are concerned. Anyway thanks for posting it, it’s definitely worth visiting as a place of worship. Check this out: http://www.hotelsantacaterina.it/images/costiera-amalfitana-1-z.jpg
