For #TextureTuesday, some #terracotta details of the #NaturalHistoryMuseum façade in #London. The architect, Alfred Waterhouse, was tasked to create a "cathedral to nature" and wow, did he deliver!

A low-angle shot looks up at the ornate facade of a grand, tan-coloured stone building. Multiple columns, each uniquely carved with intricate patterns such as zigzags, spirals, and textured surfaces, rise upwards towards an arched structure at the top. Sunlight catches the details of the stonework, creating highlights and shadows that accentuate the depth and texture of the carvings. A patch of bright blue sky is visible in the upper left corner, contrasting with the warm tones of the building. The architectural style appears historical and elaborate.

The Piedra de los 12 Ángulos (Stone of the 12 Angles) is one of the most famous examples of Inca stonework in Cusco, Peru. Located in the Hatun Rumiyoc street, this massive stone is renowned for its perfect fit, with twelve precisely carved angles that interlock seamlessly with the surrounding stones.

Tucked Away / Messo da Parte

Bologna is a very welcoming city, but she has a lot of secrets. Sometimes you stumble into a part of the city and it feels like a completely different world! There are so many small side streets, secluded gardens and hidden gems to find!

(Shout out to the bird who was a paid actor)

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" / "O Romeo, Romeo, perché sei tu Romeo?" #windowfriday

I want a Romeo and Juliet remake with pigeons. If we can make 267 Rocky movies and a bunch of Paranormal Activity ones, we can also make this.

Take Your Pick / Scegliere A Piacere for #windowfriday

If you go a little outside the city centre and take a wander around some of the residential areas you can find some gems, like this one!

I'm choosing the top left window. How about you?

An interesting #stone #wall for #TextureTuesday. Found it near #Mayschoß while hiking in the vinyards

#stoneWall #Stein #Steinmauer #texture #textures #dryStoneWall #Trockensteinmauer #stonework #oldWall #agedStone #historicWall #weatheredStone

A close-up photograph shows a corner where two dry-stone walls meet, revealing the construction details and the natural variations in the stone. The walls are built from thin, irregular pieces of slate or similar layered rock, stacked horizontally without mortar. The stones exhibit a range of colours, including greys, browns, and hints of rust, creating a textured and aged appearance.
At the corner, a large, roughly triangular section of a different type of rock is visible, embedded within the wall. This rock has distinct diagonal striations of dark grey and lighter, almost golden-brown hues. It appears to be a more solid, less layered type of stone compared to the surrounding wall material.
Small patches of greenery, including moss and tiny plants, are growing in the crevices between the stones, particularly near the top and bottom of the frame, indicating the age and weathering of the structure. The ground at the base of the walls is covered with loose stones and sparse vegetation.

Here's one of the new #gargoyles of #MagdeburgCathedral for #SpookySaturday

I love this one! I wish I had a better camera to capture more details

#Magdeburg #MagdeburgerDom #Wasserspeier #gargoyle #Gothic #Gotik #architecture #Architektur #stonework #MiddleAges #medieval #Mittelalter #masonry #cathedral #Dom #church #Kirche #grotesque #sculpture

A low-angle, close-up shot captures the intricate architectural details of a Magdeburg Cathedral. The structure is predominantly grey, with variations in tone suggesting age and exposure to the elements.
The focal point is a grotesque gargoyle figure, positioned on the left side of the frame. It is carved from the same grey stone as the building and features a somewhat humanoid face with large eyes and a downturned mouth, combined with bat-like wings that extend downwards. Patches of green moss or lichen are visible on its surface, indicating its age and exposure to moisture.
To the right of the gargoyle, a section of the building's facade shows ornate Gothic-style arched windows or niches, also constructed from grey stone. Above these architectural elements, more detailed stonework and mouldings are visible, running horizontally across the building's surface. The texture of the stone is rough and uneven, with signs of weathering.

This Is My Glasgow @thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot

A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.

An old wall maxe up of uneven and weathered stones.

I linger before the stone angel, whose bowed figure touches my soul. His sorrow becomes tangible in the cold stone. My fingers wish to stroke the curved wings, offering comfort where none seems possible. In his timeless grief, I find a strange peace. He watches over the past, while I merely pause on my journey to preserve his silent story.

Ich verweile vor dem steinernen Engel, dessen gesenkte Gestalt meine Seele berührt. Seine Trauer wird greifbar im kalten Stein. Meine Finger möchten über die geschwungenen Flügel streichen, Trost spenden, wo keiner möglich scheint. In seinem zeitlosen Schmerz finde ich seltsame Ruhe. Er wacht über Vergangenes, während ich nur kurz innehalte auf meinem Weg, um seine stille Geschichte zu bewahren.

Lanterna Magica

Four loose concrete piece come with the lamp. They fit on the concrete platform at the switch side. By placing a piece on the platform there’s the possibility to play with the appearance of the lamp and the light and shadow play that it produces.

Caccianemici House / Casa Caccianemici for #windowfriday

Some parts of the house date back to the 13th century, others to the 15th. It also housed the medieval Passapoveri tower. From the fresco above the window it says 1926 so we can presume it has had some renovations over the years!
