I think I might have been born at an awkward age in which I'm nostalgic for some forms of modern architecture. One big reason I have a soft spot for Brutalism is the church I went to while I was a small child: St. Richard's Catholic Church in Jackson. I tend to think the style works for churches if it evokes the look of an ancient temple, and this church is not exception. During a recent trip I took some beauty shots.

| St. Richard's, with a strangely appropriate-looking car. |
 |
| The church is accessed via a bridge, which is pretty interesting. |
 |
| This place looks legit. |
 |
| Birb. |
 |
| I remember standing on my toes as a kid looking over these. |
 |
| Interestingly, the flanks of the church are brick. |
 |
| Tried to rotate this, but turns out there was no right answer on this angle. |
 |
| Interesting minimalist tabernacle. |
 |
| One of the Stations of the Cross. They may have taken the minimalism a bit far. |
 |
| Less-than-stellar crucifix. Apparently now hanging over the altar. |
 |
| I think this is from the school. |
