I’m loving the nearly complete lack of advertising boards which allows most balls out of play to roll all the way to the track. There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see! 🥹

Ooo, that would be interesting.
I ask it "can you describe the end 15 minutes of the west Wing episode two cathedrals with the emotion of the song brothers in arms" then trimmed it down to 2000 characters

(They only care about money, always. So they can build fancy things at their cathedrals and close the parishes that are actually administering to people.)

Fine. A fair point.
But . . .
it makes people sit through the credits. Maybe some people start to appreciate the grandeur of the movie they just watched. Big movies are frequently our times great projects. Not as impressive as cathedrals, I grant you. But, huge undertakings.
Then you get a treat.

I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

I do not know if this is a correct observation, because I have not traveled extensively in Europa. It seems to me that western European Medieval and antique buildings are blindingly clean and appear to be brand new. On the other hand, the castles and cathedrals in the West appear dirty and worn.

Not at all alarming...it's comforting. Fuck Russian tourists. They come "to see the cathedrals," and bring nerve agents.
That is partly necessary—and partly alarming
Europe is cracking down on Russian tourists

reminds me of
‘You built me palaces out of paragraphs. You built cathedrals.’
One being a genuine safe place inside that exists in mind for no one to touch and the other expressed out in many letters that was later felt to be an illusion 💌

You're so kind! Mouse rather embarrassed by the quality of the diagram, but I guess it served its purpose, so thank you. It's amazing to think that the huge structures in churches and cathedrals were make with little more that a large mason's compass and a large area of compressed sand🐭

I’d say not at all, given how many visitors Romanesque and early Gothic cathedrals receive every year.

Bonus fact. Its one of the oldest cathedrals in the United States.

Getting a little more subjective now: does not most of hte art from this time period kind of suck (cathedrals besides)? How many literary products do we still read today from 500 to the high middle ages? Doesn't that say something about that time period?

Of all of the wasteful spending on sports arenas in this country, has any of them been as harmful to a city as MSG?

The sheer whatthefuckery of gothic cathedrals is the single best thing about them.
No idea what they were putting in their wine. But I want some.

They used to build libraries and museums. Cathedrals and industries. The legacy of this generation will be horny racist bots and burnt out landscapes where rivers used to cool data centers. A field of rusting Teslas are the modern terra cotta army. An idiot prince with a ketamine crown at its center

Tried to make a proper copper dome for the grand tower of my royal seat.
Better than what it was before.

I do this at the castles, cathedrals and mansions that look as if they've been around for centuries, when in the dramatic period they should look very new. The books would be easier to fix, I suppose.

Let me put it this way: Do you know what the highest spire in the world is? You may think of cathedrals in Salisbury and Cologne and so on, because a spire, of course, is a thing on a church. But all the highest spires are buildings of commerce and capital and occasionally communication, 7/12

I so enjoy yours and others’ photos. Seeing the world through other eyes can be exhilarating. I have always lived near the sea so seeing the beauty of the plains, mesas, rivers, and city streets, of barns, neon alleys, and cathedrals is a refuge from what is going on out there.
