inSPIREd Sunday


One of the twin spires of the Basilica del Voto Nacional,
in Quito.  You can probably climb up inside it,
but I wouldn't even if I could, since this church sits at one
of the highest spots in the city (which is already
at 9,000 feet); I live at sea level and definitely 
felt the 
effects of the extra altitude when I was there.

InSPIREd Sunday


These are the twin spires of the
Basilica del Voto Nacional, in Quito.
Not very old (begun in 1887, inaugurated
101 years later), it is the largest neo-Gothic
basilica in the Americas.  Also maybe the highest,
since it sits on a high point of the city (which is
already more than 9,000 feet above sea level).
