This weeks theme is Metal. Since it's Easter my choice this time was a photo, scanned from a slide taken back in 1997, in Arica, Northern Chile. Why a Church? Read the photo-text.

Arica, church designed by Gustav Eiffel

Perhaps the most interesting place to visit in Arica is the San Marcos de Arica church. Founded around 1570, the original church was destroyed in 1888 by an earthquake and was replaced by this construction by the famous architect Gustav Eiffel. The more sturdy structure is comprised entirely of prefabricated wrought-iron plates. Only the doors are wooden.

With other words a Metal Church
