I'm sure of what you said! And I do like the window-roof (and the way you portrayed itin this picture!). But I don't think it's a matter of scantiness or decoration, this church has a strange external shape, which is very little inviting to go in!

©polytropos, on May 22, 2008, said:

You think so? .. But the round shape is a very basic and natural shape and stands for the feeling of security and shelter.

Maybe it's because one associates this shape of buildings with industrial areas and its silos.

A silos! Yes, that's what it looks like! But the obliqueness of the roof contrasts with the concept of simplicity, security and shelter of the main shape.

©polytropos, on May 22, 2008, said:

Well, the obliqueness of the roof has constructal (drain of the rain water) and light exposure reasons. As you can imagine the back wall will be illuminated very well when the vitreus roof is inclined a bit.

I'm sure of this! But the final result is not that charming for me! Of course this is a very subjective taste...

Hallo poly, bisher hat man uns immer glauben gemacht, das der hl. Geist eine Taube in einem strahlenden gelben Dreieck ist. Mit diesem Bild hast Du bewiesen, dass er ein strahlender Stern in einem roten Kreis ist. Muss nun das Buch der Bücher neu .... Grüße Udo

Naja, ©UdoSm für andere wiederum ist es der Inhalt von kleinen Flaschen, die mit Etiketten meist mit kleinen Abbildungen von Kernobst, beschriftet sind. ;-)

©UdoSm, bei uns wird Alkohol auch etwa mit Geist bezeichnet.

Néstor y eme, gracias por la visita y los comentarios buenos.
