The church

Though unassuming from the outside, these four churches, less than a two-hour drive from Austin, boast awe-inspiring interiors.

Come inside the Adamkirche Munich. Small but perfectly formed it is a masterpiece of Baroque church architecture.

Some subjects just lend themselves to amazing imagery. The interiors of religious structures like cathedrals are one of those subjects. We think that this collection brings that through beautifully. Some might break the occasional photographic 'rule' like converging verticals or overcooking the saturation - it's just that we're having one of those days where we don't really care. Sometimes it's just great to look at gorgeous subjects taken for the pure pleasure of it. Enjoy, and share yours…

Our fascination with architecture runs deep. We pay attention to the structures around us because of the way it shapes our experiences and tells stories about the culture. To really understand our environment, we can explore cities by strolling down the main streets and learning about history by admiring famous landmarks. For some of us, however, the view from the bottom and from a safe distance is simply not enough.
