Stalin's church?

Today's picture shows the construction of the Świątynia Opatrzności Bożej (Temple of Divine Providence) close to Wilanów. The church, or temple, is monstrously huge and ugly.

My student just left for half a year to Edinburgh, so today's picture is from there. This is an HDR from inside St Giles' cathedral.
