On the road to Yellowstone a few years back, This photo NEEDED to be taken; I didn't record the location. The questions are: What is it? - Where is it? Any info will be warmly appreciated.

What- Why-Where?

It looks like a church to me. Can you download the picture so we can see a larger version?

Thanks for the pics. Now that I've seen them, I think it's just what the caption says it is and that it's a house.

At first I thought it might have been an old Russian Orthodox church like those in Alaska. Guess not.

(Noticed that there is an ad requiring subscription for continuing to read the article. Never mind.)

That is actually a house that was built totally by hand by an architect/engineer during his off time (he had a full time job). It's in the town of Wapiti approximately 29 miles from the east entrance to Yellowstone. I stayed in the motel/RV spot right next to it. I don't know if it's still occupied as I couldn't get close enough to see. The engineer passed away suddenly about 20 years ago. Before he passed away, he estimated he still had about a dozen years of construction left before he was finished.

Wow! You got a really nice shot -- & lucked out with some great cloud formations. I would be itching to use an ultra-wide like 14mm on FF from below & up close (if possible to do that). Some time could be spent experimenting with getting shots of that structure.

Very interesting, Sam! Hope his daughter can fix it up again and will be able to preserve it!
