Michelangelo At The Crystal Cathedral (10-02-19) - Part 1

 Thanks for stoppin' by and checkin' out the Bsombin' blog! Time to go back in time to check out some architecture and art...

In October of 2019 I went with my uncle Bill and my aunts Ivonne and Brenda to go see a Michelangelo exhibit that was on display at the Crystal Cathedral. The Crystal Cathedral is formally know as the Christ Cathedral. It's a beautifully designed church in Garden Grove, CA. that was built in the 1980's. It is covered in reflective glass and has a giant polished metal structure built next to it. Until we went, I always thought you could go up into the structure. But I came to find out that I was wrong about that. We couldn't go up into the structure and the church itself was closed. So we didn't spend a lot of time looking at the cathedral and structure. But I did shoot a lot of pictures of the structure and cathedral. 

I love to shoot architecture! But I like to distort the architecture and turn it into geometric art. I like to play with the lines on buildings to make them look less like buildings and more like abstract sculptures. This is what I did with the cathedral, the structure, and the museum building behind the cathedral (where the Michelangelo exhibit was located). Here are some of the flicks I shot of the cathedral and the structure...









Next, we'll head to the museum building that was behind the cathedral, to check out the Sistine Chapel and  learn about the artist that painted it.
