That quote was taken from a comprehensive description of the Chapel found here.  OLMHT Chapel, pulpit The small building in the foreground, the Painter’s Shack, is about a 1 mile hike up a gravel road from the campus of Thomas Aquinas College. A favorite haunt of the students, it also is a great spot to get a really nice view of the surrounding countryside, especially at sunrise or sunset.  Painter's Shack at Sunset  In the Painter's Shack at Sunrise San Buenaventura Mission was the last of the California Missions founded by Blessed Junipero Serra.  San Buenaventura Mission in Ventura, California Here are some panos that I shot over at the beautiful Memorial Hall in Cincinnati. Memorial hall was designed by the famed Cincinnati architecture firm Samuel Hannaford & Sons. Also be sure to check out the pano for the American Classical Music Hall of Fame which has it’s home in Memorial Hall.  Memorial Hall, Cincinnati, Balcony Here is a view from on stage in the Springer Auditorium at the Cincinnati Music Hall. I shot this image right after the final rehearsal for the evening performance by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra of “Latin Nights” featuring guest conductor Kristjan Järvi, who is the brother of the orchestra’s Music Director, Paavo Järvi. The music featured a true master on the Bandoneón (South American button accordion), Carel Kraayenhof. Selections were from Ginastera, Piazzolla, and Revueltas. Go to my Music Hall page to see this and 2 more panos from the auditorium and 1 from the Foyer here.  On stage at Cincinnati's Music Hall A pano featuring the strange and wonderful interior stylings over at Lightborne Productions. I really like the “Dinosaur Spine” stairway. Make sure to visit the Lightborne page to see all 4 panos especially the “Green Corridor.”  Dinosaur backbone! Also known as “The Queen of the Missions.” This was the 10th of 21 Franciscan missions that shaped much of the history of California. I have created 6 panos of this beautiful Mission see all of them here.  Church Altar Here is one of two new panoramas that I made of St. Rose Church. The interior was recently repainted so I returned to document the new look. Be sure to visit the St. Rose page to see both panos and find links to the previous tour so that you can compare for yourself the old and the new.  St. Rose Church St. Lawrence Church has an impressive Gothic edifice with three steeples dominating the skyline of Price Hill. The church was dedicated in 1894. I was particularly impressed by the stained glass windows. See some detail pictures of those on the St. Lawrence page in the Prayer Places section.  St. Lawrence Church, nave The people of All Saints Parish wanted to create a building in which the sacred is evident and that is modest and simple yet beautiful. They hired design architect Duncan Stroik, whose firm specializes in ecclesiastical design, to help them achieve their goal. Not only did they succeed in their goal but also have proven “it is still possible to build a beautiful church in an ordinary parish with a limited budget.” See all the panoramas here.  The Baldacchino over the Altar This pano taken to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone for this church building. Set high up on Mt Adams, there is a dramatic view overlooking the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. See all 5 panos of HC-I Church here.  The beautiful interior of Holy Cross-Immaculata Church  Angel's View of the Choir Loft Slightly different viewpoint featured in this pano. I think it works well in this situation though. Be sure to visit the Old St. Mary’s page in the “Prayer Places” tab at the top of the page to see a lot more detail photos from this beautiful church. A small Catholic college in Santa Paula, California that uses the “Great Books” curriculum. There is a new chapel that was just nearing completion when these panos were made. It has since been finished. The college’s website has a nice photo essay explaining all about the chapel which can be seen here.
 St. Thomas Hall Lobby This is a large tour of 15 panos and benefits greatly by viewing in fullscreen mode. There is a map to help with navigation. Be sure to click the little fullscreen button on the menu bar in the lower left corner after opening the pano. Here are a couple panos from an abandoned building on Clay Street in Cincinnati.  Stairway
 The Green Room Here are some panos from the quaint south eastern Indiana town of Metamora. Also featured are some views of the Duck Creek Aquaduct, perhaps the only functioning aquaduct in the USA. The aquaduct carries the restored canal boat “Ben Franklin” with passengers over the Duck Creek. There are a lot of small shops and galleries here and with several festivals and special events during the year it is a good place to spend a relaxing day or two.  Metamora Main Street  Meetinghouse  Duck Creek Aquaduct  Inside The Aquaduct I remember riding in our car across this bridge when I was a child. Time and neglect has taken it’s toll. Now it stands in silent decay as canoeists drift through it’s shadows on the lazy Whitewater River. If you are into “Geocaching” there is a good cache on this bridge.
 Abandoned Bridge Deep in the heart of Mt. Airy forest lies this abandoned concrete bridge from an old roadway that has since been cut off by the construction of I-74 through the forest. My guess is that it carried an access road from West Fork Rd. into the park. Now no signs of the road but a trail does goes over it. A little downstream from here the creek enters 2 very large steel tunnels about 700′ long that goes through the fill made for interstate 74. Very cool to walk through those indeed.  Abandoned roadway bridge to nowhere
Here is an example of an interesting architectural interior design. This is the “think tank” for a local Cincinnati design firm called DEI
