Wikipedia: "Bishop William of St. Calais demolished the old Saxon church, and on 11 August 1093, together with Prior Turgot of Durham (Aldwin's successor), he laid the foundation stone of the great new cathedral. [ . . . ] Since that time many major additions and reconstructions of parts of the building have been made, but the greater part of the structure remains the original Norman structure."
Wikipedia: "Die Durham Cathedral, oder The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham, so der vollständige Name, ist eine Kathedrale der Church of England in der Stadt Durham im Nordosten Englands. Sie gehört zum UNESCO-Welterbe.
2019 wurde die Kathedrale von Durham von rund 727.000 Personen besucht. [ . . . ]
Die Kathedrale liegt zusammen mit der Altstadt und der Burg von Durham auf einem hoch aufragenden Felsen in einer Schleife des Flusses Wear. Mit einer Länge von 143 m nimmt sie die gesamte Breite des Felsens ein. Der Haupteingang befindet sich auf der Nordseite des Hauptschiffs (früher der Eingang für Laien). An die Südseite schließt sich der frühere Klosterbezirk der Benediktinerabtei mit dem Kreuzgang an."

UNESCO: "Durham Cathedral is the largest and most perfect monument of ‘Norman’ style architecture in England. The small astral (castle) chapel for its part marks a turning point in the evolution of 11th century Romanesque sculpture. [ . . . ] Though some wrongly considered Durham Cathedral to be the first ‘Gothic’ monument (the relationship between it and the churches built in the Île-de-France region in the 12th century is not obvious), this building, owing to the innovative audacity of its vaulting, constitutes, as do Spire [Speyer] and Cluny, a type of experimental model which was far ahead of its time."

"I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes"

I have done a similar shot of just Marvel Super Hero Island before, but with this composition, I decided to include some of the highly textured elements of the platform I was standing on in the Lost Continent. Thanks for looking!

I enjoy photographing sculpted reliefs from an angle, rather than frontally. Lighting is usually an issue. For a more 'truthful' photo., see my Friend Elias's photo.:

This work is in the Bargello, of course.
The myth of Diana and Actaeon is in Ovid's Metamorphoses (written ca. 8CE), on the basis of which this relief was sculpted around 1555CE by Francesco Mosca, known as Moschino (the diminutive indicating that he was the son of Simone Mosca, also a sculptor). Diana, goddess of the hunt, turned Actaeon into a stag when he spied on Diana's maidens bathing. He was then eaten by his own hounds.

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"

Wikipedia (edited): "Schiermonnikoog is an island, a municipality and national park in the Northern Netherlands. Schiermonnikoog is one of the West Frisian Islands, and is part of the province of Friesland. It is situated between the islands of Ameland and Rottumerplaat.

"The Wadden Sea (Dutch: Waddenzee; German: Wattenmeer; . . .) is an intertidal zone in the southeastern part of the North Sea. It lies between the coast of northwestern continental Europe and the range of low-lying Frisian Islands, forming a shallow body of water with tidal flats and wetlands. It has a high biological diversity and is an important area for both breeding and migrating birds. In 2009, the Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List and the Danish part was added in June 2014."
