The Amazing Work of  Larry Landolfi

When I moved to Kodiak, Alaska in May of 1980, I wasn’t there a day when I called my dad (the ‘photo-bug’ of the family) and told him to send me a camera, any camera, and send it quick. The camera was from a camera company I’d never heard of before or since (Bessler), but more importantly I was well on my way into the wonderful world of photography. Astronomy has always been another ‘love of my life’, and I think it shows in a lot of the composite photos shown here.

  About a dozen years ago my youngest brother Joe told me I should get into computers and this thing called Photoshop. Told me it was right up my alley in what I tried to take 'in camera’. I flat out told him I already had 2 hobbies that were costing me thousands of dollars and really couldn’t afford another one. So glad I never took my own advice. Larry Landolfi   I’ve been a successful stock photographer at ScienceSource.com (formerly PhotoResearchers.com) since 1996. http://images.sciencesource.com/search?api=110875667&pg=1   Praise be to God for all the wonders of the universe and on this beautiful, temporary home called Earth.

Pack your bags and grab your passport, it’s time for another Geyser of Awesome Field Trip. This time we’re headed for Indonesia, specifically Magelang, Central Java. There we’ll travel through dense forests to reach this incredible structure, a dilapidated building shaped like a gigantic chicken frozen in mid-squawk.

Locals call it the Gereja Ayam, which means “Chicken Church.” It was built as a house of prayer by 67-year-old Daniel Alamsjah, who intended to create a structure that looked like a dove after receiving a divine message. He also used the building as a rehab center for disabled children, drug addicts, and others in need of help. Unfortunately Alamsjah was forced to shut down his center after construction costs rose beyond his means.

Today the building is slowly crumbling. It’s sought out by photographers and urban explorers, graffiti artists, and couples looking for a particularly private retreat.

For an even better look at the Chicken Church, check out this stunning drone footage shot by Vimeo contributor ThreatLevel11:
