    Where is this?
    When was it built?
    Who was the architect?

    Default Looks like

    Union Station in DC. In which case it opened in 1908, architect was Daniel Burnham.

    Or it could be something completely different. My excuse is jetlag (got back from a week in Cairo on business late yesterday).

    Default Yep, you got it

    I wondered why we hadn't heard from you in a spell -- Cairo, eh?

    The view is looking East from 4th St. NW and Madison in Washington, DC.

    The building is the National Gallery of Art East Building designed by I. M. Pei.

    It was opened to the public on June 1, 1978.

    Just look at this beauty, with all of its spires. Where is this building located (city and place), and what is it called?

    Default Air force chapel.

    Is it the Air Force academy Chapel in Colorado springs ?

    I believe it represents the figure of jet fighters heading skywards. Although not a fan, it is a wonderful piece of modern architecture

    Indeed it is! I find it interesting as it was a true turning point for modern American academic architecture.
