Mikyoung Cha is a graduate in Oriental Painting from Hyosung Women’s University, Daegu, South Korea. She has participated in a number of group art exhibitions in South Korea and Japan. In 2016 she took up photography – the camera becoming her paint brush. This globe trotting photographer is a regular contributor to Live Encounters Magazine.


Temppeliaukio Church, Temppeliaukion kirkko, is a Lutheran church in Helsinki, Finland. It is also known as Church of the Rock and Rock Church. It has been beautifully carved directly into rock. The roof is a dome lined with copper while an ice-age crevice is the altarpiece.

A pervasive spiritual presence embraces this magnificent creation to God.
