This is a picture of the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona taken from the access road after my visit today.   There are spectacular views of the region from the parking lot and both inside and outside the chapel when you get to the top.  There is a Wikipedia page on the Chapel with more details including the history of the unusual structure.
