    Beautiful church in Arica. by: bennylunes Views[184] Religion is something inherent in human being and that accompanies him wherever he go.

Small but beautiful, immovable even in this remote part of the world. by: carluscp Views[472] The once thriving oil town of Cerro Sombrero now almost appears post-apocalyptic to modern day visitors. It was an artificial town designed to house the huge numbers of miners and their families that were once required to maintain the thriving fossil fuel industry in the area but in recent years its population and funding have dropped in proportion to the regions production. This church is one of the few buildings that is still used and maintained; around it lie huge gymnasiums, theatres, swimming pools and community centres that have since fallen into various states of disrepair. It stands as a physical reminder of Chile's new shift towards renewable energies as the cure for its soaring energy requirements and desire for energy independence. Incidentally, the people of Chile are becoming more and more engaged in the countries energy direction and legislation. Chile's primary source of renewable energy, hydroelectric, has come under the spotlight due to its environmental impacts and an increasing awareness of the fact that the vast majority of energy in the country is used to power its Northern copper mines rather than for the energy requirements of its citizens. by: askdsn Views[880] Carcassonne by: chiacchierare Views[502] Termes by: chiacchierare Views[190]
     
    Korean Jesus lives here. by: gnocchimandu Views[307] The devotion of the Rwandan population can leave a person astonished. When a country experiences so much death and grieving, it is hard to imagine that they would all be so faithful to their religions. But it is true in this country, no other name is praised more than the name of God. They come by the hundreds and they all pack into the smallest of churches to sing praises and worship their God. It was truly incredible to see that people who suffer still find that they can believe in something greater than themselves. by: cecihernandez Views[615] Abandoned orthodox church in a village in the mountains of South Albania. Times have changed, people have been leaving traditional villages and lifestyle to work in cities and other neighbouring countries hoping for better income. by: zsumaksa Views[1989] The inscription below this crucifix implores the passerby to venerate this ancient symbol. What is going on in the life of the man who walks by it? Is the book in his hand a bible or a journal? Is he a believer in God? Where is he going, and why does he wear that expression of contentment? What songs play in his ears as he walks the streets of the city? Is it his, or is he one of the many who come to Lima seeking fortune? Despite widespread poverty, pollution and social inequality, the city continues to attract many from the countryside seeking a better life, another passerby in this sprawling metropolis. Another bookcover to a story I'll only have read a line of. Catholicism, brought by the Spanish Conquistadors, left a deep mark on Peruvian society. The city center of Lima, home to almost a 3rd of Peru's 30 million inhabitants, radiates outwards from the Plaza De Armas, the central square from which all points in Peru are measured. Catholicism played a major role in Peruvian culture and society since conquest and in some respects it's introduction wiped clean thousands of years of knowledge and belief, leading to the death and persecution of many, and as a justification for the Spanish conquest ( The Hermannsburg mission was established by the German Lutheran pastors Kempe and Schwarz in 1877 on the traditional lands of the Western Aranda people. It is 130km southwest of Alice Springs. This church was built in 1897 after the original was destroyed in heavy rains. It features an inscription in English, German and Aranda. The missionaries abandoned the site in 1891, broken by extreme isolation and family illness. This abandonment would be temporary, with a new mission established within three years. by: kimpreston Views[1251]
