Hope everyone enjoyed a terrific Xmas day.
This image was taken at the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba (World Heritage Site since 1984) in Andalucia, Spain. It is arguably one of the most significant monuments and one of the most amazing buildings in the western World. The complete evolution of the Omeyan style in Spain can be appreciated in its different sections, as well as the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of the Christian part.
BTW, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform everyone that Flickr apparently no longer sends notifications to Yahoo mail accounts. I only receive notices regarding promotions by Flickr. As a result, it is impossible to track and reciprocate Faves. Sorry about that and happy holidays!

Have a nice day :-)
Nature is a fascinating architect! This sublime tree trunk reminded me of the walls of a magnificent Gothic cathedral.

Kaluga is a city in the European part of Russia, in the Central Federal District. It is located on the banks of the Oka River and its tributaries—the Yachenka, Kaluzhka, and Kiyevka—160 km southwest of central Moscow.
To this day, the origin and date of Kaluga's founding remain a subject of debate among scholars and researchers. The official date of the city's founding is considered to be 1371, the year of the first written mention of Kaluga in surviving sources. The city existed for some as yet unknown period before 1371. Even the first historians of Kaluga noted that the city was much older than its official age. This is confirmed by archaeological excavations at ancient settlement sites in what is now Kaluga. In 2021, Kaluga celebrated its 650th anniversary.
This is one of my favourite views of Newcastle, taken from the Tyne Bridge and showing a huge range of architectural styles and ages. Processed with bucketloads of HDR. HSS, everyone! :)
Ten years ago it was not necessary to pre-book your visit to some parts of the basilica. 30 years ago one side was open and there was no roof yet. Yes, I am getting old......
