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.

The early bird gets the worms. Especially after rain and when you need to feed the youngsters. Taken last year.
The Worm Full Moon is the name given to the full moon that occurs in March, marking the transition from winter to spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The name originates from Native American and colonial folklore, referring to the time when the ground begins to thaw, and earthworms emerge, signaling the return of birds and the awakening of nature.
This full moon is often associated with renewal, growth, and transformation, as it coincides with the shift from winter's harsh cold to spring's vitality. Spiritually, it is seen as a time to shed the old and embrace new beginnings, making it an ideal period for reflection, manifestation, and cleansing rituals.
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.

This Robin searches the lawn for bugs and worms, and is not at all interested in joining the other birds as they gobble down bird seed.
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.

Worm’s Head is a tidal island on the south-west end of Rhossili Bay on the Gower peninsula in Swansea, South Wales.
The abandoned boathouse, called Kitchen Corner, gives a sense of scale of this rock formation.
There is also a little video about exposure blending, addressed to Photoshop beginners. Sounds interesting to you? Have a look: youtu.be/m6ByCwNCWaI and let me know what you think.
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".
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.
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 :)

This Australian Laughing Kookaburra was in a great spot to survey the surrinding grounds for its regular diet of worms and other little creatures.
Taken in the Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia.

Worms, located on the west bank of the Rhine River, is one of Germany’s oldest cities. Besides the archaeological finds that go back more than 6,000 years, Worms was the scene of several events that shaped European history. It is the site of a medieval epic “the Nibelungelied’ , a story every German child learns at school about a legendary hero, Siegfried, and the Hun destruction of Worms. Legend says the name “Worms” referred to when Siegfried slew a lindworm (a type of serpent or dragon) near the city.
