'The' First Mother Church


Boston - Back in hot and humid weather I had some errands downtown and tried to keep in the shade of trees.  Always I am surprised of the enormous size of the Christian Science church but not inclined to enter. It has no inviting entrance!
There is a shady walk behind and then a reflecting pool and fountain which is far more appealing.  In 1960 that area was designed by I.M.Pei & Partners.  Same architect who is responsible for the idea and execution of the pyramid in front of the Louvre.


A temptation to run through the cold water and some children took the challenge.  
I heard that this church has the world largest pipe organ which makes me curious - next time. 
With 3000 seats in the church it should be possible to get a seat one day.
