The mystery behind certain iconic tourist sights that are brought to light through photography often intrigues and sparks curiosity in humans with the promise of new knowledge and discovery.

My friends came along in order to gain the experience from the church with me. We all had different experiences, but we all felt glad that we went together and to the church.
