Description

This eye-level interior shot features the Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The chapel's architectural design is notable for its complex geometric framework, which supports numerous stained-glass windows in shades of blue, red, and white. Light streams through the stained glass, casting diffused colors inside. The walls and ceilings are constructed with gray wooden beams forming triangular patterns. Rows of wooden pews are visible on either side of the central aisle, leading toward a dark, minimalist altar at the far end of the chapel. The mood is peaceful.
