If you ever head out to Tondabayashi in Osaka, you can't help but notice this... Headquarters of the Church of Perfect Liberty.

It looks like a painting! I would have liked the tower a little on the right.

@Behrooz: Yeah, I hear you Behrooz. This was snapped out of the window of a car passing by so was my best opportunity... no time to frame etc. Took loads that were no good at all. I removed some digital camera noise which gives it that weird painting look.
The B&W works pretty well.

@Inès: It's a pretty amazing building Ines! Looks to me like it's built of papier mache. Or built by giant ants. From space.
Wow, I missed that when I was there.

@DTW: It's not a part of Osaka that people usually travel to. The organization sponsor a massive fireworks display in the summer, biggest in the city I think. Ever heard of that DTW?
This is quite strange and interesting, nice shot Daroru!

Looks like it could have been built by Fred Flintstone! It's so out of place. Only in Japan eh...

@Daniel: It certainly is Daniel.
Startling! I've never seen it, but you've done a great job capturing and processing it.

@Damon Schreiber: Thank you Damon!
Man, that's bizarre! Looks like The Flintstones meet The Jetsons or something.
