Catedral de León
Me recuerda a mi abuelo Miguel.
Resuena en mis oídos la portentosa voz de mi tia Mary, cantando junto a su sobrino de tres o cuatro años canciones de misa.
Comparto la norma de todas y todos los leoneses que emigraron, cuya primera visita inexcusable al regresar a León es ir hacia ella, para verla, para hablarle, para tocar esas piedras adorablemente eternas...
Permitid que hoy, mientras observais la luz dorada del atardecer sobre esas mis piedras vetustas, os traiga un precioso y sentido texto del gran periodista y leonés universal, Luis del Olmo.
EL MILAGRO DE LA PULCHRA LEONINA
Quienes construyeron la catedral de León se empeñaron en convertir en realidad una impresionante utopía. Soñaban con desmaterializar el arte, adelgazar la materia hasta el límite, despegarla de la tierra y elevarla al cielo.
En esta sagrada locura participó toda la ciudad. Era tal el desafío que solamente un milagro podría mantenerla firme. Y así ha sido. Aunque la piedra sea quebradiza, los cimientos padezcan debilidad y el fuego haya estado a punto de destruirla, nuestra catedral asombra por su verticalidad y por la inmensa luminosidad de sus muros adornados con el maravilloso colorido de los vitrales.
Si está en pie es de milagro, sí, pero no ha sido solo el milagro de la ciencia, sino también el de la fe, el milagro del esfuerzo de muchas generaciones de leoneses que lo han dado todo para reparar, sostener y cuidar su catedral, manteniendo así las mismas creencias de sus constructores.
A lo largo de su historia, ha tenido varias veces que ser restaurada, porque nuestra pulchra leonina posee la belleza de la fragilidad y necesita cuidado, mimo y dedicación.
Los visitantes se asombran al entrar en ella y contemplar una de las mayores colecciones de vidrieras medievales del mundo. Ese derroche de luz es también un resumen de la historia sagrada, que acompaña al creyente en su fe. De esta forma la catedral habla a quien la visita, y sus altas columnas góticas animan a mirar hacia arriba, a la catedral del cielo, allá donde reside la madre de todos los milagros.
Todos los que hemos nacido en esta tierra leonesa tenemos en nuestros genes el amor a nuestra pulchra leonina. Si estamos fuera, la recordamos con nostalgia, y al regresar a casa lo primero que hacemos es visitarla, ver como está, manifestarle nuestro amor y nuestro ánimo, porque sabemos que sintiéndose querida, ella mantendrá por siempre su firmeza.
He perdido la cuenta de las miles de veces que he hablado de nuestra catedral, pero nunca se me olvidará aquella mañana mágica en que los micrófonos de "Protagonistas" entraron en sus naves y allí, en compañía de todo León, realizamos para el resto de España un programa especial destinado a recaudar fondos para reparar sus vidrieras.
Esta tierra nuestra, mitad mística, mitad guerrera, tiene muy presente el pasado para asegurar el futuro, y por eso lleva en su corazón de león a su querida catedral. Este es el auténtico milagro de nuestra pulchra leonina, que cada leonés se convierte en un firme arbotante para sostener con su esfuerzo una estructura prodigiosa, donde la materia se funde con el espíritu y las piedras se llenan de luz.
Luis del Olmo

This photograph captures the imposing Neue Burg in Vienna, Austria. The building's grand architecture is highlighted by its white stone facade, adorned with numerous columns, statues, and intricate detailing. A group of people are walking towards the building, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, creating a dramatic and slightly somber atmosphere.
In a world of speed and precision, one photographer finds stillness in the geometry of the scene. The sleek lines of the Porsche Museum intertwine with the silent observer, capturing a moment where architecture and artistry collide. A stairway becomes a stage, a lens a gateway—perspective is everything.

The Stunning Interior of St Gerion Basilica in Cologne. This Romanesque church, dating back to 612 is an architectural masterpiece that seemingly almost defies and challenges conventional assumptions about symmetry and geometry. It feels almost as if its builders anticipated Frank Gehry!
