Just a bit of fun with this whimsical look at a dairy farm. I had so much fun in fact, with this piece, that I just may try a few more.

I was looking for Saint Chapelle and stumbled across this little beauty of a church instead. What a great find!
St. John's Co-Kathedrale in Valetta/Malta ------ Die St. John’s Co-Cathedral (maltesisch Kon-Katidral ta' San Ġwann) ist die Konkathedrale des römisch-katholischen Erzbistums Malta in Valletta. Sie wird als Ko-Kathedrale bezeichnet, da sie als zweiter Sitz des Erzbischofs von Malta neben der Kathedrale St. Paul in Mdina dient. Die Kirche wurde zwischen 1573 und 1578 von den Maltesern errichtet, in Auftrag gegeben von Großmeister Jean de la Cassière als repräsentative Klosterkirche an der Ordenszentrale. Entworfen wurde sie vom maltesischen Militärarchitekten Gerolamo Cassar, der auch viele andere Gebäude in Valletta konzipiert hat. Während der Bau nur vier Jahre dauerte, benötigte die vollständige Ausstattung des Innenraums über 100 Jahre. 1820 erhob Papst Pius VII. die Kirche zur Ko-Kathedrale, um ihre Bedeutung für Land und Stadt auch nach der Vertreibung der Malteserritter durch Napoleon im Jahre 1798 zu unterstreichen; der eigentliche Bischofssitz befindet sich in Mdina. Geweiht ist sie dem heiligen Johannes dem Täufer, Schutzpatron des Malteserordens. Das Innere aus der Zeit des Hochbarock wurde sehr kunstvoll und reich dekoriert. Die Kathedrale wird sogar als eine der schönsten Kirchen im Mittelmeerraum angesehen. Der Innenraum wurde zum Großteil vom kalabrischen Künstler und Malteserritter Mattia Pretiin ausgestattet. Er schuf die kompliziert geschnitzten Steinwände und bemalte die Gewölbe und Seitenaltäre mit Szenen aus dem Leben des Heiligen Johannes. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die Schnitzereien an Ort und Stelle geschaffen wurden und nicht wie üblich unabhängig voneinander geschnitzt und dann an den Wänden angebracht wurden (wie z. B. Stuck).
Nahe dem Eingang findet sich das Grabmonument des Großmeisters Marc’Antonio Zondadari von Siena. Er war der Neffe von Papst Alexander VII.
Das Hauptschiff ist 53 Meter lang und mit Seitenkapellen 15 Meter breit. Die meisten Wände sind mit Wandteppichen behangen. -------------------------------------------------------------------
St. Johns Co-Cathedral (Maltese: Kon-Katidral ta’ San Ġwann), located in Valletta, Malta, was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578, having been commissioned in 1572 by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière as the conventual church of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of St John, known as the Knights of Malta. The Church was designed by the Maltese military architect Glormu Cassar (Girolamo Cassar) who designed several of the more prominent buildings in Valletta. The church is considered to be one of the finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Europe and one of the world's great cathedrals. The interior, in sharp contrast with the facade, is extremely ornate [1] and decorated in the height of the Baroque period. The interior was largely decorated by Mattia Preti, the Calabrian artist and Knight. Preti designed the intricate carved stone walls and painted the vaulted ceiling and side altars with scenes from the life of St John. Interestingly, the figures painted into the ceiling next to each column initially appear to the viewer as three-dimensional statues, but on closer inspection we see that the artist cleverly created an illusion of three-dimensionality by his use of shadows and placement. Also noteworthy is the fact that the carving was all undertaken in-place (in-situ) rather than being carved independently and then attached to the walls (stucco). The Maltese limestone from which the Cathedral is built lends itself particularly well to such intricate carving. The whole marble floor is an entire series of tombs, housing about 375 Knights and officers of the order. There is also a crypt containing the tombs of Grandmasters like Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Claude de la Sengle, Jean Parisot de Valette, and Alof de Wignacourt.
In 1666, a project for the main altar by Malta's greatest sculptor, Melchiorre Cafà, was approved and begun. Cafà intended a large sculpture group in bronze depicting the Baptism of Christ. Following Cafà's tragical death in 1667 in a foundry accident while working on this work in Rome, the plans were abandoned. Only in 1703, Giuseppe Mazzuoli, Cafà's only pupil, finished a marble group of the Baptism of Christ which might have been influenced by his master's undocumented designs but certainly is strongly dependent on a small baptism group by Alessandro Algardi.[2]
Near the main entrance one finds the funerary monument of Grand Master Fra Marc'Antonio Zondadari of Siena. He was the nephew of Pope Alexander VII.

The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is a minor basilica in Lyon. It was built with private funds in a dominating position on a hill looking over the city.
Fourvière is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who saved the city of Lyon from a cholera epidemic sweeping Europe in 1643.
During the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), Prussian forces, having taken Paris, were progressing south towards Lyon. Their halt and retreat were, once again, attributed by the Church to the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
Fourvière actually contains two churches, one on top of the other. The upper sanctuary is very ornate, while the lower is a much simpler design. Work on the triumphant basilica was begun in 1872 and finished in 1884. Finishing touches in the interior were not completed until 1964.

Hexham Abbey is a place of Christian worship dedicated to St Andrew and located in the town of Hexham, Northumberland, in northeast England. Since the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, the Abbey has been the parish church of Hexham.
There has been a church on the site for over 1300 years since Etheldreda, Queen of Northumbria made a grant of lands to Wilfrid, Bishop of York c.674. Of Wilfrid's Benedictine abbey, which was constructed almost entirely of material salvaged from nearby Roman ruins, the Saxon crypt still remains; as does a frith stool, a 7th/8th century cathedra or throne.[1] For a little while around that time it was the seat of a bishopric.
In the year 875 Halfdene (Halfdan Ragnarsson) the Dane ravaged the whole of Tyneside and Hexham Church was plundered and burnt to the ground.[2]
About 1050 one Eilaf was put in charge of Hexham, although as treasurer of Durham, he probably never came there. Eilaf was instructed to rebuild Hexham Church which then lay in utter ruin. His son Eilaf II completed the work, probably building in the Norman style.[2]
In Norman times Wilfrid's abbey was replaced by an Augustinian priory. The current church largely dates from that period (c.1170–1250), in the Early English style of architecture. The choir, north and south transepts and the cloisters, where canons studied and meditated, date from this period.

Una vista sulla sala dell'ingresso principale del Natural History Museum (Museo di Storia Naturale) di Londra.
In basso nella foto è possibile scorgere la coda di un dinosauro che troneggia all'ingresso, e che purtroppo non sono riuscito a far entrare nella foto.
Non avendo avuto modo di utilizzare il cavalletto, ho utilizzato il muretto della balconata che sovrasta l'ingresso.
Un posto fantastico..
L’église romane présente de belles proportions avec son large chœur, et son ample transept couvert d’une vaste coupole sur pendentifs. La nef, autrefois longue de 30 mètres pour trois travées, et la façade se sont écroulées en grande partie en 1903. La façade a été reconstruite plus en retrait amputant définitivement la nef d’une demi-travée. La nef est voûtée d’ogives établies au XVIIe siècle.
Visiting Catedral de la Almudena in Madrid, Spain. This was my first stop after arriving in the city.
Looking up towards the altar area from the nave of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence Italy. This is the largest Franciscan church in the world and really beautiful.
