This imposing interior photograph shows a classic example of American modern architecture, the stunning Air Force Academy Chapel, which is the most visited man-made tourist attraction in Colorado, USA. The structure's exterior is easily identified by its 17 steel, aluminum and glass spires that soar 150 feet (46 meters) into the sky at Colorado Springs. The chapel opened in 1962 to meet the spiritual needs of cadets during their undergraduate education at the academy to become officers in the United States Air Force. The chapel closed to the public in 2019 for a 3- to 4-year renovation.
