I don't have any pictures of chapels on top of snowy mountains, so for a "cool" church photo, I looked north. Alaska!
This is St. Michael's Orthodox Cathedral in Sitka, Alaska. This was the first Russian Orthodox church built in North America, from back in the time before Seward's Folly that Alaska was a little eastward extension of Russian Siberia that jumped the Bering Strait and took hold on North America.
This is from July 2017. Alaska in July is still very cool. Las Vegas is cooling down. Yesterday, I was driving the Birthday Dog to the park at dusk and the car thermometer said/read 98 degrees, which was the first time in over a week that the temperature had already dropped into the double digits at that hour. You know you've lived in Las Vegas a long time when the temperature is 98 at dusk and you're reaction is: "Oh! It's cooling down nicely!"
