Post one or more images, please.

I didn't fully understand the puzzle. Are the 4 locations related to each other, or is it 4 different puzzles in one thread? Anyway, here is the first one:

They are related (or rather have something in common), and knowing how/what will make it easier to find them.

Here is your first image, but the others will have to wait until I have more time ....

pretty interesting!




#3: great site (at the oGEC, we already went there, didn't we?)

Number 3:


Number 4



I'm still looking for the other two one.

Well done those who found one or more churches! Here is a clue:

By Fe I don't mean Spanish fe (faith), although it would be fitting for #1, but the chemical element with symbol Fe, i.e. iron. The four churches are made of iron. #1 was designed by an architect who is famous for working with this material. Humble churches like #3 and #4, some of them made with corrugated iron sheets, are known under an alliterating category name (t- t-), which may serve as a search term.

Good luck!

Well, here's three of them.

Hi bridgeplayer,
Can we have a clue for the #2 please? That is the one that is causing the problems for me, and perhaps others. Thanks.

Here is a clue for #2:

Church #2 is in the country where the architect of #1 came from.

Thanks bridgeplayer but I think I need a clue to that clue!

There must be near a million churches in that country, (or if not a million, too many to count)!!

I'm obviously missing something that others can see.

Here's one two for now. Thank goodness I read the clue because I was looking for Santa Fe type churches!

Hi oz, I checked two ways to find it, using my earlier clues.

Make sure you check the solutions to the clues (each of them one word), one clue to the material the churches were built from, the other to the country of church #2. I did two picture searches with those two words.
First I searched for ‘church’ + [name of material] in the language of the country where #2 is located. This produced large numbers of pictures of #2.
The second search was in English, keywords ‘church’ + [material] + [country]. I found some pictures of the church after scrolling down.
The key to finding #2 is including both the country and the material, I think. Good luck!

Thank you bridgeplayer,

that made it easy. The first result offered by Google.

#2

Well done all!

Let's post a solution once in a while

What these churches have in common is that they were all built with large amounts of Fe(rrum), i.e. iron.

#1: Iglesia de Santa Bárbara in Santa Rosalía, Baja California, Mexico. Designed by Gustave Eiffel. 27.3372° N, 112.2685° W .
#2: The iron church of Crusnes, France. 49.4294° N, 5.9328° E .
#3: Small and very simple iron churches of this type are nicknamed tin tabernacles. This one was rebuilt in Blists Hill Victorian Town, an open air industrial museum south of Madeley,  Shropshire, England. 52.6246° N, 2.4532° W .
#4: Another tin tabernacle. This one is located near Coombegreen in Worcestershire, England. 52.0274° N, 2.3220° W .
