Pine Valley

 We visited beautiful Pine Valley, Utah yesterday (about 45 min. from St. George).

Historic Pine Valley Chapel. The architect was a ship builder, who designed the roof  like the hull of a ship.

 View of the roof from the chapel.

 View of the roof from the attic.

 My favorite piece from the artifacts room. So pretty.

My little ones listening to the rehearsal of the Dixie State Orchestra.
 

Imagine listening to Copland's "Hoe-Down" from his ballet Rodeo in these surroundings. Yay, outdoor concerts. Oh, and the sound was fantastic, did not get swallowed up by being out of doors. And they actually rang the church bell in Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture".

Want to go next year? They hold the concert the last Saturday in September. Free Admission. Visitors welcome, but have mercy on the hospitable ladies of Pine Valley and bring a dish to the pre-concert potluck.
