A serene view of Watts Chapel in Compton, a distinctive and ornate Arts and Crafts-style building nestled in a peaceful cemetery. The chapel, constructed from reddish-brown bricks, features intricate architectural details, including arched windows and decorative patterns. It stands as a striking focal point amidst a collection of weathered gravestones, some of which are adorned with detailed carvings. The chapel is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees in full bloom overhead, their branches casting dappled sunlight across the scene. The vibrant green foliage contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the chapel and gravestones, creating a tranquil and reflective atmosphere.

#FotoVorschlag: Sakrale Bauten // Sacred buildings

Oh Mann, ich hätte noch so viel mehr für heute! 🙈 Aber eine kleine #Kirche bzw. #Kapelle muss noch: die faszinierende Watts Cemetery Chapel in dem kleinen englischen Dorf #Compton. Hier hat sich die Künstlerin Mary Fraser-Tytler 1896 in Sachen #Jugendstil, #Celtic Revival und mehr so richtig ausgetobt. Fanden viele nicht so lustig, aber wenn ihr mal in der Gegend seid, solltet ihr euch unbedingt mal davon erschlagen lassen. 😉 Außerdem: #Doorsday! // Gaaaah, I could share so many more buildings today! 🙈 But one more tiny #church or #chapel is a must: the fascinating #WattsCemeteryChapel in the village of Compton, #Surrey. Resident artist Mary Fraser-Tytler went wild with #ModernStyle, #CelticRevival, and several other styles in 1896. Many contemporaries were not amused, but if you're ever in the vicinity, pay a visit and be flabbergasted (or 𝘨𝘰𝘥smacked?). 😉 Also: #Doorsday!
