	Reminiscent of St. Henry's chapel in Turku, Finland. Close but no cigar . . .

	Not even worth a roll up. But does include the pointed barrel vault and similar shaped entrance. Is there a word which means the same as concentric, but applied to non circular shapes? __________________ We are alone in the universe, or, we are not. Either way it's incredible... Adapted from R.

	In reply to Brave Sir Robin's photo in post #1... Looks like someone tried to "bury the hatchet" but left the sharp end sticking up! I wish I could delete in the edit period and reply to the right post. __________________ "Why do things that only happen to stupid people keep happening to me?" Homer Simpson

	Last week's building was a church, located in Tonga. Besides its location, in the suburbs of Nuku’alofa, I know next to nothing about this structure. Perhaps, armed with the actual image, you'll be able to help me out. Image source: Jason Mann / Architecture Now

	It must be new... https://thecuriouskiwi.co.nz/tonga.html They say it's in the suburbs of Nukuʻalofa....you can zoom in with google earth and look around, but if it's just built still might not be visible...yet https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/google_map_Nukualofa.htm __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Many of the Google street view images appear to have been captured in 1970, which seems very unlikely to me:- Although, also curiously, who ever captured them didn't seem to realise that including the back of the truck in the images was undesirable. __________________ We are alone in the universe, or, we are not.
