Really like the window view behind the alter, bet some sunrise or sunset services are quite stunning.

....Very interesting Paul.....Spent quite a bit of time with {automotive testing program}, in not too far away Kingman some years ago....Enjoyed that area....desert / different than what I was used to.

And of course injoyed all the business of the Sante Fe RR in that area...

One of the rituals of the Catholic Church is a procession to each of the 14 "Stations of the Cross" as part of the Good Friday services - I'll leave it to others to explain the details of that. But I was very surprised when we visited the notable and scenically sited Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona - http://www.chapeloftheholycross.com/store/ - this past January to see that its 'stations' were literally made from pieces of railroad track - rails and spikes. Below are a few of the photos from that visit. Just goes to show - once again - that you can find traces of the railroad almost anyplace . . .
