Guildhall Crypt is another stop on the tour of Open House London. Guildhall was full of people, so I never really was able to get any great shots.

Mosaics of the 5th century AD are in the flooded crypt of the Basilica di San Francesco in Ravenna, Italy. Goldfish swim in the water.
The earliest part of the building at Worcester is the multi-columned crypt in Norman style with cushion capitals, surviving from the original monastic church begun by bishop Saint Wulfstan of Worcester in 1084.
There's actually plenty to see in this photograph if you look closely beyond the monument that dominates this section of the Melbourne General Cemetery.
To the right of the Vergona crypt is a grave for a Chinese family from Hong Kong. And if you enlarge the photo you can make out that a Macbeth has been buried here as well!
The Vergonas have been popular identities in the Italian community in Melbourne for some generations. Perhaps the most famous to the general public is a former Australian Rules Football umpire, Frank Vergona. Frank was also a teacher of Latin at Melbourne Grammar School.
The Latin phrase on the front of this monument: "Mortuus erat et revixit perierat et inventus est" is from the Latin Vulgate version of the New Testament, Luke 15:24:
"For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry." The actual Latin phrase on the monument is "...was dead and is alive again."
It is the story Jesus told of the Prodigal Son, the one who took his inheritance and ran away, squandering it, but he then returned at the end to his father's love and forgiveness. The father had once given him up for lost, but now the "dead" son had come back to life again. That surely is the story of all of us. It is also why a graveyard is a powerful sermon.
There's a fine carving of Mary Queen of Heaven there too, indicating a family with very traditional (Latin Rites) Roman Catholic ties.
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
Washington, D.C.
The Basilica is located a short distance from the U.S. Capitol building on the grounds of the Catholic University of America.
The Basilica is the largest Catholic church in North America. Construction was started during 1920 and was not completed until 2017 (with the completion of the mosaic for the Trinity Dome). The structure design is classified as Romanesque-Byzantine and is constructed entirely of stone, brick, tiles and mortar with no steel framing. The colorful domes and archways are all mosaics with the Trinity dome alone having more than 14 million pieces of Venetian glass covering more than 18,300 square feet. The basilica contains more than 80 chapels and has the largest collection of contemporary ecclesiastic art in the world.
The facility is open to those of all faiths with free parking across the street. It has been visited by Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI and Saint Pope John Paul II.

This sculpture is by Antony Gormley, probably most well known for his creation 'Angel of the North.' I've wanted to see it first hand ever since I first saw some photo's of it on Flickr. Situated in the crypt at Winchester Cathedral, it's a life sized lead statue of a man contemplating the water held in his cupped hands.The crypt floods in wet weather when the water table rises, and the majority of shots of the statue take advantage of the wonderful reflections this provides. I must admit, with all the rain we've had recently, I was disappointed to find it completely dry, so this is a different composition I than the one I had in mind. Another visit on the cards then, lol.
