👉🏻 No politics, please! 🙏🏻

Aus gegebenem Anlass:
Um mir meine Freude an Bluesky zu erhalten folge ich keinen Accounts, die sich hauptsächlich mit Politik beschäftigen.

For #31DaysOfGraves, day 11: military, my favourite stone in all of Scotland. I'm not sure if it's really a grave, so much as a memorial, thought to be depicting a battle between the Picts and the Northumbrians under King Ecgfrith, way back in 685AD. The wonderful Aberlemno Cross.
A stone slab containing a cross carved with intricate and beautiful Pictish designs. The same cross standing in front of the church where it lives The back of the same stone, carved all over with a battle scene. There are soldiers in horses and on foot and at the bottom right a soldier being pecked by a raven Detail of soldier being pecked by a raven

The grave of Jules Verne (1828-1905), Madeleine Cemetery in Amiens, France. 🇫🇷

Sculptor Albert Roze used Verne's death mask to create the sculpture, which depicts the author breaking free from his tomb and reaching for heaven.

The original chandelier and ghost story of The Phantom of the Opera (see ALT) makes Palais Garnier a strong candidate for #PalacesandGardens #MythsandLegends
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOpulent
Photo is of gilded chandeliers and columns in an ornate room with vaulted, painted ceilings. Some people stand in the center, staring or taking photos. 

The original novel of The Phantom of the Opera was born from a real life tragedy of a fire causing the counterweight of a chandelier to fall, injuring several and actually killing someone. There were also rumors that at least one ghost haunted the Palais. And that a faceless man lived in the lake under the Opera. The French author, Gaston Leroux, used the real life events and legends surrounding the place to inspire his novel.

Trauer ist unsichtbar.
Das Verlorene ist unsichtbar.
Und trotzdem spürt, fühlt und sieht man
Jeden Tag diese Lücke.

"Die Armen gibt es nicht zufällig oder aufgrund eines blinden und bitteren Schicksals. Noch weniger ist Armut für die meisten von ihnen eine freie Entscheidung. Und doch gibt es immer noch Personen, die dies behaupten und damit ihre Blindheit und Grausamkeit offenbaren." (Leo XIV., Dilexi te 14)
