This sketch depicts the United States Air Force Academy Chapel near Colorado Springs, designed in the 1950’s by Walter Netsch Jr. of SOM.  Rising 150 feet from a stone terrace, and set against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, this beautiful national landmark chapel serves as an inspiration to me.  I first visited this chapel in 2007, and again the past summer when I discovered that it will be closed for the next four years due to a major renovation.

I look forward to visiting again in renewed glory!
