The ultimate loud speaker? Nope! It’s the perfect reason for a major hike up 8,117 feet to Timmelsjoch. Apparently there’s a high (pun intended) chance of getting altitude sickness. The architect, Werner Tscholl, designed four striking sculptural stations and the Timmelsjoch Experience Pass Museum in 2010. The area is, according to Werner Tscholl is the ‘deepest, non-glaciated indentation in the main Alpine ridge between the Reschen Pass and the Brenner Pass.’ The sculptures are named Walkway, Smuggler, Telescope, Garnet are part of a connected group with the Pass Museum. Some are on the Austrian side and some on the Italian. Photo with thanks to @_karl_moab_

Grundtvigs Kirke, named in memory of the Danish philosopher and politician N.F.S Grundtvig. The architect, Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint’s church is a wonderful example of brick expressionism with gothic vibes. A staggering six million Danish yellow bricks were used. Here is the description of the building process by the Danish Architects Centre @danisharchitecturecenter ‘Each stone is hand ground. Hands are what ground and placed every single brick and layer of mortar –executed with a precision that leave today’s bricklayers awestruck. It is also said that the bricklayers were paid for 150 bricks per day, compared to the usual 1,200 – demonstrating the precision of the work required. Each brick was ground by hand to perfection …’. Construction between 1921 and 1940, was begun by the father and completed by his son, architect Kaare Klint, with the majority of the building works taking place in the interwar years between 1921-26. This photo by Jan Rasmussen captures the ‘Westwerk’ which is often likened to a church organ. Next photo is of the interior and over at @greyscapeworld a photo from a short distance to give a sense of perspective.
