The lower floor of the Baroque 2-floor Bürgersaalkirche located at the Neuhauser Straße in Munich.
The Bürgersaal was built 1709/1710 by master builder Johann Georg Ettenhofer, following plans created by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi. It is known as Bürgersaalkirche since the consecration of the altar in 1778.
The building is the prayer and meeting hall of the "Sodality of Our Lady 'Annunciation'".
This lower floor served originally as the printing room of the Sodality. It was converted to a crypt-like chapel in the 19th century.

The town church Ludwigsburg is a Protestant church building in the core city of Ludwigsburg.
The town church was built between 1718 and 1726 by master builder Donato Giuseppe Frisoni as a baroque preaching church on the west side of the market square. Already in 1720, before the completion of the two towers, the office of a city councilor (tower-blower) had been established, which still exists today.

I just love the folds moving in the non-existent wind of this angel.
The angel is one of several decorating Ponte Sant'Angelo - the bridge was originally called Pons Aelius (Aelian Bridge) and built in 134 A.D. by emperor Hadrian to connect the city and his mausoleum, supposedly by the architect Demetrian. It was later also referred to as pons Sancti Petri (the bridge of St Peter) because pilgrims used it to get to the St Peter's basilica. And in the early 7th century it was given the official name of Sant'Angelo, to match the name-change of the mausoleum to Castel Sant'Angelo.
In the 15th century the bridge was used to display the bodies of executed criminals.
The angels now adorning the bridge were commissioned in 1669 by pope Clement IX and made by students of Bernini under his directions. This particular one, holding a column, was made by Antonio Raggi

Interior of the church Santa Maria Maddalena - a Baroque church, for the order Ministri degli Infirmi which had a church on this spot since 1586. The work on the current church was begun in the 17th century in the Baroque style (and the main main facade was actually finished in the 1730s in the Rococo style (after some 70 years of work on the church). Several architects were involved in this long process, and the dome is thought to be the work of Carlo Fontana.

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Built 1705-1722 originally for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, as reward for military activities including the Battle of Blenheim. Birthplace in 1874 of Winston Churchill.
Christopher Wren was in the running to be architect but the post was given to John Vanbrugh who was assisted by Hawksmoor. The building is in the ‘English Baroque’ style that paralleled the perhaps more exuberant Continental Baroque. English baroque was soon unfashionable and replaced by the restraint of the Georgian buildings of Edinburgh and Bath.
Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, England and home to a branch of the Howards. Designed by John Vanbrugh assisted by Nicholas Hawksmoor in the then fashionable English Baroque style. Construction began in 1701.
It was Vanbrugh’s first major foray into architecture. He and the professional architect Hawksmoor were involved shortly after with the design of Blenheim Palace

If you were to believe social media, everybody is happy and mankind lives on beaches and in restaurants. "Faces of Sorrow" aims to show the hidden face of mankind - the sorrow, the shame, the pain and anguish. Strangely, these baroque sculptures are more honest to us than we could hope to be today...

Андріївська церква, що розташована на Андріївському узвозі у Києві, споруджена за проектом архітектора Бартоломео Растреллі у стилі бароко. Вона є пам’яткою архітектури та монументального живопису XVIII ст. світового значення, входить до складу Національного заповідника "Софія Київська". Церкву внесено до попереднього списку Всесвітньої спадщини ЮНЕСКО.
«Фасады Андреевской церкви по замыслу архитектора богато украшены сложным рельефным декором, лепными наличниками окон, ниш и входных дверей, чугунными литыми позолоченными капителями пилястр и колонн, картушами кокошников и наличников. Нарастая снизу вверх, пышность убранства восхищает разнообразием цветовой гаммы, богатством позолоты рельефных деталей. Силуэт храма четко вырисовывается на фоне неба. Бирюзово-белый цвет стен, изящные декоративные купола, далеко отстоящие от центрального купола; маковки, увенчанные ажурными позолоченными крестами — все это и создает образ легкости, изящества, высокой гармонии с окружающей природой.» / Ирина Бекетова/
The convent and church of Santa Clara, founded in 1596, located in the historic centre of Quito, stands out for its Baroque style. The church has no tower and the square cloister consists of arches resting on octagonal pillars.
This organ case in the Peterskirche (English: St. Peter's Church) in Vienna is by Gottfried Sonnholz and dates from 1751. It consists of 119 blind pipes, the actual present organ behind it was built in 1903 by Franz Josef Swoboda.
While I was taking these photos, an organist played Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. That just sounded wonderful! When he finished playing, the people sitting in the pews, about a dozen in number, applauded and I realised that I had walked around with my camera in the middle of a poorly attended organ concert. Of course, I applauded too.
The Castle in Nordkirchen/Germany was built in the 18th century.

My wife commissioned this Gibertoni & Nalin violin over a year ago from Milan and we finally collected it at the weekend. Much practice for her and many photo opportunities for me.
