The Darkness Monthly Event - Round October 2020
This stunning space was built to provide car parking underneath the South Lawn at Melbourne University. Each column is a giant freestanding flowerpot to allow trees as well as grass in the landscape above.
Antony Gormley’s mysterious life-size sculpture of a solitary man, Sound II, floods in rainy months. It sometimes stands up to its knees in water. You can see the crypt and sculpture by taking our Crypt Tour
Sorry about the lack of comments this week pals, have had a thousand and one things to do, try and do some catching up on Sunday or Monday.

Winchester Cathedral Crypt.
The bronze is a praying figure gifted to the Cathedral by Anthony Gormley.
The crypt floods only at certain times of the year when the water table is high and it rains constantly.
The guide stated that this occassion was the highest the water had ever been, coming up over the top of the statues ankles.

Naples Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Napoli, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta or Cattedrale di San Gennaro; Neapolitan: Viscuvato 'e Napule) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, the main church of Naples, southern Italy, and the seat of the Archbishop of Naples. It is widely known as the Cattedrale di San Gennaro, in honour of Saint Januarius, the city's patron saint.
History
The present cathedral was commissioned by King Charles I of Anjou. Construction continued during the reign of his successor, Charles II (1285-1309) and was completed in the early 14th century under Robert of Anjou. It was built on the foundations of two palaeo-Christian basilicas, whose traces can still be clearly seen. Underneath the building excavations have revealed Greek and Roman artifacts. (Wikipedia)
This is where the body of St.Ambrose, patron saint of Milan, can be viewed in the Basilica di Sant' Ambrogio. Although the basilica was largely built in the Romanesque era, the crypt here was decorated in later times in a Baroque/Rococo style.
Not too sure about this. I got bored earlier today. Haha.
View on black, if you have the time. :)

EXPLORED ON 28 AUGUST 2009 - #398
Only in Italy you can find such magical places. Visiting an old church in one of Italy's many beautiful towns, I found that the entry to the crypt was open. The guy who was taking care told me that I had five minutes before he closed it.
I quickly hurried below and saw the most fascinating place. It was a simple crypt below the main church, and I was told by the guy, that it was where the old church was, before the one above was constructed.
I saw a woman kneeling down to pray at one corner of the crypt, and quickly wanted to capture it.
I changed my camera to shutter priority mode, set the time to 1/10, and an EV bias of +1/3. I just hoped that my hand would hold still for this period of time to capture the magical moment.
I was so happy with the result. Not only can you see the details of the crypt, but you can also find the woman praying, as well as the entrances to the main church above.
I dedicate this shot to my friend PRABHAKARAN, who not only thinks that I don't like architectural photography, but also thinks I don't like shutter priority mode. I hope this image will convince him, that both his opinions of me are wrong.

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.
I posted earlier photos with views of the upper church which is constructed above this area. Also, my last posting is of a small side section of this area of the crypt;
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 (see postings of the upper church) 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.
Tripods are not permitted without prior permission and the structure and art are protected by copywrite.
