Inside of a Short Sunderland flying boat, RAF museum, London

My son and I had the magical experience of exploring this beautiful machine from the inside. The Sunderland was indeed a war machine but there is something more peaceful and elegant about it, compared to many military planes. It has something of the character of a giant goose. It would be wonderful to see one of these take off or land on the water!

"Also students on their way to learn to preach
need a rescue route to reach"

Nun der Blick von unten
Eine der faszinierensten Fluchtreppen, hier aus dem neuen Predigerseminar auf dem Wittenberger Schlossdach in die Tiefe.
Entwurf: Bruno Fioretti Marquez Architekten, Fertigstell. 2017, Deutscher Architekturpreis 2019, zu Recht, sehr eindrückliche Architektur, die der über die Jahrhunderte sehr geschundenen Bausubstanz des Schlosses mit neuen feinen Zutaten zu dauerhafter Würde verhilft, großartig!

And now the view from below
"Man can see how the staircase winds its way down
into the depths and disappears in darkness, not for the crown"

One of the most fascinating emergency staircases, leading down from the new seminary on the roof of Wittenberg Castle.
Design: Bruno Fioretti Marquez Architects, completed 2017, German Architecture Prize 2019, and rightly so; truly impressive architecture that helps restore lasting dignity to the castle’s structure – which has been badly battered over the centuries – with new, refined elements. Magnificent!
