Die Welt ist ein wilder, unglaublicher, ja auch absurder Ort - aber doch ein Ort an dem es sich leben lässt. (Ray Bradbury) Und ich sitze hier, denke nach und weiß nicht worüber. (Bram Stoker) https://holundra.de/

👉🏻 No politics, please! 🙏🏻

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

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.

Day 10: Urn. #31DaysOfGraves

This gravestone rests over a large plot for the Heath family.

A tall column on top of a square plinth, with an urn on top of the column. The column has two sides of text around it.

A close up of the urn with engraved decorative details, such as swirls on the top of the column, and triangular markings on the urn.

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)

Papst Leo veröffentlicht sein erstes größeres Schreiben über die Liebe zu den Armen an dem Tag, an dem ein sich christlich nennender Kanzler seine Verachtung der Armen demonstriert.

I took this photo one foggy morning in the Calton Hill cemetery, Edinburgh. For those that care, Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax-F 50mm f/1.7 lens.

Black and white photograph of a tall burial monument. A tall urn with two handles stands on a tall plinth with a square cross-section. In the background is a leafless winter tree and multiple other monuments including some obelisks. It is a little bit foggy.

For #IronworkThursday, here are the main gates of Glasgow Central Station, from 1874. Restored in recent years, and given back their green and gold colour scheme.

The iron gates of Glasgow Central Railway Station, viewed from just inside the entrance. Elaborately decorated with cast- and wrought-iron elements, painted green with elements highlighted in gold.

For #ironworkthursday, here’s the elaborate fountain in the centre of Dumfries, cast by the Sun Foundry in Glasgow in 1882 and restored in 2023 after a lively campaign. Congratulations to all concerned for this marvellous project.

The Sun Foundry fountain in the centre of Dumfries, cast and installed in 1882 and restored in 2021-3 after a strong and engaging local campaign. Three stacked black-painted iron basins, decreasing in size towards the top, over the large masonry basin at its base. Figures are picked out in gold leaf, with putti holding open the mouths of crocodiles from which the water pours into the lowest basin. The upper tiers are supported by gilded fish. Four iron urns with gilded water plants rise from pedestals built into the edge of the masonry basin.
