First Baptist

I wish this had a mandorla on it. And I wish that didn't say tympanum. Because it isn't! The church architecture confuses me so much!

The picture says amblature but it's suppose to say ambulatory...and even more awkward, ITS WRONG. I looked at a diagram of an ambulatory and I thought it was a band-frieze around the choir or apse (or whatever this is because its not an apse) but I saw the definition and it's a walkway! And this didn't have an ambulatory.

AND.

This guy was having some one on one time with God...and I was just there taking pictures in a hoodie.

Can this count as a campanile? Or it it too small?

Boring.

Pilasters. Pilasters. Pilasters. Location: The Courthouse

This kind of looks like the Parthenon.

Sorry it's dark.

There's that guy praying still...

Again...disregard the altar label.

• Pendentive(pen-den-tiv) A concave, triangular section of a hemisphere, four of which provide the transition from a square area to the circular base of a covering dome. Although pendentives appear to be hanging (pendant) from the dome, they in fact support it.
