Anglican Church in Londrina, Brazil.
A beautiful building that I see almost every day on my lunch break.
It's hard to draw it in full because it has many trees, fences and walls in front.

Igreja Anglicana 1/3, Londrina - Brasil by Alexander Lermen


The walls are light gray, almost white and the sky was kind of gray as well.
Then I decided to put a little color ... and I think my mood was not good.

The shores of the Mediterranean are full of old churches transformed into mosques and old mosques converted into churches, as a testimony of our dense history. In the spanish city of Toledo you can find this beautiful building that was built as a mosque, later it used to be a catholic chapel. Nowadays it is a museum:
