Description
A low-angle exterior perspective photograph capturing the free-standing bell tower (campanile) alongside the chapel's main nave elevation and a recessed dalle de verre window.
The image features:
* Campanile Architecture: The slender, vertical bell tower features smooth light-gray stucco cladding rising from a fieldstone masonry base. Near its apex, long vertical louvers enclose the belfry, topped by an open bell chamber and metal cross.
* Main Structure Elevation: To the right, the smooth exterior wall of the nave displays protruding wooden viga beam ends beneath the roofline, illustrating regional Southwest architectural influences integrated into Mid-Century Modern design.
* Exterior Dalle de Verre Integration: The exterior face of the "Star of the Sea" window is visible set into the nave wall, showing its dark matrix and silhouetted maritime motifs against the light stucco facade.
* Exterior Context & Landscaping: Foreground evergreen shrubs line the perimeter, set beneath a brilliant blue sky with light, wispy cloud cover, establishing the architectural profile of the chapel complex.
