abandoned church in Ternopilska oblast, UA.
Was destroyed after communists' regime establishment. However, it's believed that church "is alive" as long as altar is not destroyed completely.

It looks remarkably alive for the condition it's in. The timelessness of the design wouldn't have me think it was abandoned that long ago. Great capture!

Interesting description on the belief a church is "alive" as long as it's altar isn't completely destroyed! The altar is the place that is centred on a crossing of two leylines or a crossing of a leyline with an underground water stream. Until somewhere in the 1500's it was mandatory to build catholic churches on leyline crossings; which was the reason many pagan "heretic" temples from a certain point on got converted to churches rather than destroyed. That's why connecting locations of larger churches on a map will create geometric shapes (connecting all the historically catholic institutions (not only churches) does that for my city btw).

It is my belief that sacred-geometry in these designs are used to accumulate and manipulate certain energies and that it's likely linked to how one feels in it's interior. Some modern architecture employs it too, especially in Abu Dhabi there are great examples to be found.

Thanks so much for the comment.
in orthodox church building practise we can find examples of energetic balance system, or energy conversion.
What i mean: today, when scientifically we can define places of geological faults and it's believed, that those places are sources of "bad" energy, it's appeared that main and most important churches and cathedrals of Kiev, f.e., were build exactly in the places of faults.
