(160404) -- BORGLOON, April 4, 2016 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on April 3, 2016 shows a "see-through church", a site specific work entitled "Reading between the lines" outside Belgian town of Borgloon. Completed in 2011 by the Belgian architects duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, the project is 10 meters high and is made of 100 layers and 2000 columns of steel. Depending on the perspective of the viewer, the church is either perceived as a massive building or seems to dissolve -- partly or entirely -- in the landscape. On the other hand, looking at the landscape from within the church, the surrounding countryside is redefined by abstract lines. The project is frequented by visitors at home and abroad, especially during spring when fruit flowers blossom. (Xinhua/Zhang Yunlong)
