U.S. Air Force Academy - Colorado Springs, CO (Sept. 2001)

The only chapel I've seen that comes close to this one is the Thorncrown Chapel just outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

The Air Force Academy covers thousands and thousands of acres in north Colorado Springs and is largely pine forest at the foot of the Rockies.

The setting is ideal for a chapel with lots of clear windows.  Somehow, full stained-glass windows wouldn't have done the sanctuary justice.
