“Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls.”
― Morgan Rhodes, Falling Kingdoms
Vestige du tympan roman abordant un épisode de la vie de Samson. Ici, le héro biblique est à califourchon sur le lion dont il ouvre la gueule pour le vaincre. A droite, un ange nimbé protecteur,
les ailes déployées, tient un livre de sa main gauche et brandit une croix de sa main droite.

The church was partly destroyed by bombs in WW II. Today its ruins are a memorial for the many victims in world War II.
In the 11th century Melkhisedek, the Catholicos of Georgia, began building the new patriarchal temple on the place of the old church. There is a legend connected with this building too. “To build the temple Arsukisdze, an architect, was invited. When the building was ready it turned out that the masterpiece considerably surpassed the creations of his teacher. The teacher's pride was hurt so he slandered his pupil and the architect's hand was cut off. According to an alternative version the hand of Arsukidze was cut off by the king's order so that he was not able to construct anything similar to Svetitskhoveli.”
Probably the latter version is true as over one of the facade arches there is the relief with the image of a hand holding a setsquare. The inscription under the relief says: “the Hand of the servant of God Arsukidze. Remember”.
I found "Chicken Creek" bridge this afternoon on the way to another home visit in the country. It's located in a quiet setting away from the main road so I felt safe enough to climb up for a quick bench shot!
HBM!
Cette statue de la Vierge consacre la totalité de la façade à la mère du Christ. Elle fut commandée par Viollet-le-Duc pour remplacer la statue originale de l’époque médiévale, sévèrement endommagée par les années et les conditions climatiques. La rosace ouest se trouvant derrière cette statue constitue une auréole magnifique.
La Rose de la Vierge et son auréole de pierre: Il suffit d'être dans le bon axe et avec le recul nécessaire pour que la Vierge, Notre Dame finalement, ait la plus mémorable couronne qui soit : une rose pierre de 9,60 mètres de diamètre, édifiée entre 1220 et 1225.

Non è un montaggio...
la mia seconda galleria di dicembre
Dentro e fuori si confondono ... e la purezza delle linee evoca l'illusione dell'esistenza possibile di una Città della Ragione ...
In effetti, tutta questa serie, tramite scorci e dettagli, sembra suggerire una città (metafisica) ispirata alla Ragione ...
I passed the church while stuck in traffic on the way to Connaught Water. The red door spoke to me
