Spent some time in front of my modelling prog and came up with these. Not so happy with how the first one turned out, but otherwise they're ok.

Wow...

That is so impressive that you can do that, Vadhaka! I love the starkness of the buiding itself. Is the lintil over the doorway based on Shinto torii?

Haha, thanks. I was going for stark. And the lintel is indeed a Shinto prayergate.

Lest you be too impressed, I ripped most of it from bits of existing objects, and then put the bits together in ways that were never intended. ;)

I did the texturing and lighting, but the rest is taken out of context and re-engineered.

The whole thing reminds me of the merpeset t'filah (open air prayer shelter, although I don't think I got the Hebrew right, I'll have to check with Beorn) at Beorn's camp, only your's looks like a more permanent structure. The only picture I could find of it is a close-up interior one, but you might get a feel for it from the photo.

I have a picture of Beorn in front of it from his first year at camp on my PC, but who knows when we'll get that set up...

Looks right to me. A smichut (two nouns stuck together to make one). Mirpeset = patio. T'filah = prayer (the infinitive of 'to pray' is l'hitpallel, or 'to kneel oneself'. i'll have to look up the root to mirpeset when I get home.).
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

No way Creator. Far too much work. Even my contest entries are less than a page you'll notice. ;)
