Robins use their sense of sight to find worms, When robins tilt their heads, they're actually using one eye to look for worms in their underground tunnels—and the other eye is focused above, so the robin can spot predators, too!
The Worms Kaiserdom while not the largest church I have been in or even the largest imperial church of the trip was quite massive and you could really feel it when you first walk in.
The church through design seems to have a very grounded feeling at its ground floor base and then soars upward uplifting the eye to its lofty arched ceilings, quite a nice bit of engineering.
The Dom overall is 110 m long, and 27 m wide, the transepts near the west end, extend to 36 m, the height in the nave is 26 m and the interior of the domes are 40 m.
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.

Welcome to the inside of the Kaiserdom of Worms, picture here is the high altar it is a Baroque extravaganza by the famous 18th-century architect Balthasar Neumann.
When you photograph the interiors of these large structures remember a flash does absolutely no good and is frowned upon by most locations as well as being annoying to everyone, parishioner or visitor.
Another thought is to switch your camera to quiet mode if you have such a setting as to not disturb others and be respectful this is someone’s house of worship.
This fantastic work is made of gold leaf covered wood and marble, it was so large that there was no place for a proper transept.
The decorations feature Saints Peter and Paul with two angels pointing at the Madonna and Child, this lavish high altar 1742 is in the east choir.

If the InterTubes are to be believed, according to Native American lore, the first full moon in March is named the "worm moon" because it's when the worms start to make their way to the surface after Winter.
It was also the last super-moon of 2019.
If it looks kind of grainy, you are not wrong, as I had to do heavy post-processing to compensate for the so-so 2X tele-converter I was using with my 170-500mm lens.
Liverpool - Princes Dock.
Blue hour. Totally misjudged where the moon would rise. So rather than the classic view of the moon rising over the old Liver building, i ended up with a view of something "new".
Worm moon reflected in the sea at Oxwich Bay, South Wales, photographed on 18 March 2022, close to the spring equinox on March 20, 2022. This photograph was taken slightly later that the photos for the worm-moon quadtych (flic.kr/p/2naTVEi). The daylight has faded and the contrast between the sky and the full moon means that the features of the moon are lost. This is ISO 100 with a 30 second exposure.
A huge privilege to encounter this beautiful Slow-worm! Thanks to David W for spotting it!
Wart Hill - Shropshire
Berthulf was the first known Bishop of Worms in 614. A new church was laid out, with the dimensions of the current building, under Bishop Burchard of Worms at the beginning of the 11th century. He succeeded in persuading the Salians to abandon their fort in the city, on which he erected the Paulus Stift from 1002/3.
The old cathedral was demolished and the construction of the new one occurred simultaneously. It was a cross-shaped basilica with two semicircular choirs, built on an east-west orientation. In 1018, the cathedral was consecrated in the presence of the Emperor, but the western part of the building collapsed only two years later and had to be rebuilt. The church had a flat wooden roof. According to Burchard's biography, the cathedral was magnificently furnished in the 1030s and 1040s. Thus there is mention of columns with golden capitals (which cannot have been the church's main columns).
Most likely, Burchard's cathedral was a pier-basilica, since no remains of columns (difficult to acquire in the 11th century anyway) have been found.
Only the foundations of the west towers and the treasury north of the choir, which was probably built at the end of the 11th century, survived subsequent rebuilding.
In 1110, the cathedral was consecrated for the second time. More damage had probably occurred, whose removal was followed by this renewed consecration.
Wir befinden uns im Chorumlauf der Kirche bei hellstem Sonnenschein...
Man weiß, daß bereits in gotischen Zeiten dieser Chorumlauf mit Glasmaleien in den Maßwerkfenstern ausgestattet war. Diese fielen einem Standbrand im Jahre 1689 zum Opfer.
Bei der fälligen Renovierung der Kirche, 1707 - 1732 wurden neue bemalte Fenster eingesetzt. Zwar überlebten diese Fenster die Aufhebung des Stiftes aber nicht die darauffolgende Neogotisierung ...
Auch diesen Fenstern wiederum war keine lange Spanne vergönnt: die Explosionskatastrophe im Oppauer Stickstoffwerk am 21.09.1921 machte ihnen den Garaus.
Ziemlich schnell - 1922 - wurde die nächste Generation eingesetzt. Auch hier hielten die Fenster nur bis zum 4. 10.1943:
2 Luftminen explodierten in unmittelbarer Nähe...
1945 erfolgte eine Notverglasung, die dann peu a peu seit 1966 durch Glasgemäldefenster ersetzt wurde.
Alois Plum war fast 30 Jahre mit dem Fensterzyklus in dieser Kirche beschäftigt. Erst 1995 konnte das letzte Fenster
übergeben werden.

The Full moon is March is the ‘Worm’ moon. The other names for Worm Moon are Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon and Sap Moon. This is the last full moon before the vernal equinox.
Sakral geht es weiter mit dieser Aufnahme bei der die Kirche direkt vom Eingang her geknipst wird. Auch hier wird man durchaus überrascht nach dem man das schöne romanische Gewändeportal bewundert hat, daß man sich nun in einer barock wirkenden Vorhalle wiederfindet. Der rote Buntsandstein gleicht den Stilmix jedoch angenehm aus.
Two more shots from yesterday's Cuckoo encounter, there's more to come too. It was absolutely fascinating watching this bird for 3 hours or so. He would choose a vantage point call for a while then survey the grass and drop down and pick up any worms that he'd spotted, these were obviously on the surface as he never pulled them out of the ground.
Mit den Vorgängern ist dieser Kirchenstandort schon bereits seit 1000 Jahren in Verwendung. Diese romanisch/gotische Kirche wurde nach einem Brand im Jahre 1689 im Bereich des Langhauses 1706-16 als flachgedeckter Barocksaal erneuert. 1945 sind alle barocken Teile bei einem Brand untergegangen und bereits 1947 wurde die Anlage bis auf die barocke Ausmahlung wieder hergestellt.
I'm back from my short Flickr hiatus...
Spring is here and so are the hungry robins. The bird had to pull hard to loosen this tasty worm!
It was early spring and the grass still had its winter tan look rather than its chlorophyll green, so this is not frost.
I like lying on the grass and shooting at eye level with these iconic birds.
Have a great weekend, everyone :)
