[2013-4-7] Crystal Cathedral水晶大教堂

橙縣著名景點的水晶大教堂耗資一千七百萬美元興建, 也是著名教會節目 “Hour of Power” 的拍攝地點. 它是由10,000片巨大的玻璃和鋼架構成, 並可抵檔八級強震.內有全球最大之一的手風琴,教堂內莊嚴肅穆,教堂外有水池,高塔和美麗寧靜之草地。

From one of the local tour descriptions, we learned about the Crystal Cathedral so we ended up going after Angel Stadium (just about 5 minutes away). The Crystal Cathedral is the building for the ‘hour of power’ show.  The Crystal Cathedral spans a full 415-feet in length, 207-feet in width and 128-feet in height. The size of the Cathedral is enhanced by the all-glass covering that encloses the entire building. More than 10,000 windows of tempered, silver-colored glass are held in place by a lace-like frame of white steel trusses. These 16,000 trusses were specifically fabricated for this engineering feat.
