Thank you heartfelt for the share... Ineffably magnificent work of art... ingenious marvel of great experience expressed... and human effort and love...
Roger that! Appreciated! I haven't been in USA much (for just 2 months accumulated for works), residing mostly in Europe and Asia, but dear I so much hope to at least once visit... such miraculous places... and see such an effort of human work alive...
I am so sorry but I can't help but be a little pedantic, but this is not in the national park. I believe garvan gardens is privately owned.
Edit: I didn't mean for expratiadico to delete their comment. I was just shooting from the hip and it seems I caught an innocent in the recklessness. I'm sorry expatriado
Reminds me of a shower thought I had a while ago: why aren’t more churches/temples basically groves in forests? Even in an urban environment, why not cultivate some grand trees as a little forested oasis?
You could still put covers against rain and lights, fires and heaters against the dark and cold. Statues, murals and structures too.
It is both brutalist and highly natural. Like you got caught in Spider Pope's webs. He is going to spin you up, read you your last rights, and then inject you with venom as your last moments are angelic and terrifying.
Watch out. As soon as you retrieve the idol from the alter those blades are going to start falling. If you run flat out down the nave you might be able to slide under the portcullis just before it grinds shut. Don't forget to grab your hat.

They claim its to poison AI models, but its been repeatedly proven to them that it doesn't work. They also claim to want to bring back older English symbols like this too, not only has it been pointed out they're using it wrong many times, but in my case and some others, it just makes their comments an illegible mess. Ultimately they're just one of those edgy Lemmy personalities.
No, nothing to do with piefed. I did read that at one point there was actually a hard code to turn that symbol back to normal text, but that's hearsay, as if it exists its not enabled. Said user is manually typing it in in this case
When I try to read it, I can't parse it as anything other than a "p" or "b" so its not so much making me actively read as it is utterly confusing. Is that a me issue? Sure, but i've seen other comments to that same effect in the past too.
So I don't see it as a fun reading excersize, there's plenty of that already without adding strange characters to the mix here.
Its the old version of the digraph TH, and some are trying to revive it. I find it pretentious and cringy, like that guy I once knew who insisted on pronounced Schedule with an "SH" sound.

Not OP, but that looks like Anthony Chapel in HotSprings, Arkansas, USA.

Dunno, maybe I just like trees a lot.

Not quite the same, but church forests are actually a part of Ethiopian orthodox religious tradition.

This was so cool to learn about! Thanks dude!

Been to the Mildred B Cooper chapel and the ThornCrown chapel In Arkansas. This feels like they have to be in that same school of architecture.
Very much not a religious person but there really is something special about these buildings. Gives the perfect nature is a religion vibe.

This is actually the sister chapel to Thorncrown in eureka springs!

What's up with the þ symbol in your comment? Odd thing to go out of your way to use?

Seems like it's specific to Piefed after looking for more examples. Something baked into the code for that particular fediverse host?
Pyotr@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 51d
No, nothing to do with piefed. I did read that at one point there was actually a hard code to turn that symbol back to normal text, but that's hearsay, as if it exists its not enabled. Said user is manually typing it in in this case

Idk man, I find it harmless and whimsical. Bonus points for making me actively read too. I kinda like seeing these off the wall nuts & niche comments.
Pyotr@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 50d
When I try to read it, I can't parse it as anything other than a "p" or "b" so its not so much making me actively read as it is utterly confusing. Is that a me issue? Sure, but i've seen other comments to that same effect in the past too.
So I don't see it as a fun reading excersize, there's plenty of that already without adding strange characters to the mix here.

Not a you issue. I'm the same way. But I just like having to use my brain in a different way sometimes.

The thorn character represents the two TH sounds in English. THought and THose.
They are trying to bring it back, I guess. Odd but fun.
Nidandelsa@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 52d
It’s a letter for “th” called thorn. I’ve only seen it on old tombstones.
