Carillon and Chapel

On the outer grounds of Garvan Woodland Gardens, you will find a carillon and a beautiful chapel. The scenery is remarkable, beautiful, and placid.

After we had finished looking at the carillon and the chapel, we went to the car to leave. Just then, the carillon struck 5 o'clock and proceeded to play a little concert. Here's a small snippet of a video I took from the car. (I left out the part after this when a diesel pick-up truck drove slowly past us, tried to figure out where to go, and then backed up right between us and the carillon).





As neat as it was to hear the carillon concert as we left, it didn't compare to the Anthony Chapel. It was breathtaking.


Here's what the Garvan Woodlands Garden website says about the chapel:

"The elegant wood, glass and stone structure, designed by the Jennings + McKee firm, features a soaring 57' ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that provides beautiful views of Lake Hamilton and the surrounding wooded landscape."






Since we were the only ones here, I tried to play the piano, but it was locked. I'm not surprised that it was locked, but it would have been fun to play in this gorgeous environment!

Words don't describe this building justly, and I'm afraid the pictures don't, either. (But I do really like the pictures with the sun shining through!) So I'll just leave it at this: Jordan and I both agreed that, if we weren't LDS, we would definitely want to be married in this chapel. It's just that beautiful!
