Invocations/ Le Invocazioni for #monochromemonday

This is San Pietro's Cathedral in the centre of Bologna. The statues in the back are from Alfonso Lombardi's Terracotta "Compianto su Cristo Morto"/ "Lament for the Dead Christ" early 16th century.
Going to be honest friends, no matter how often I look up the differences between a cathedral, a church and a basilica - it's just not going in. I call them all "spooky churches". 😂✨

I don't often post photos of urban landscapes, but look at this view of Cusco. Cusco is the capital of archaeology in all of South America. At 3,400 metres above sea level, Cusco quite literally sits closer to the heavens. In Cusco the gods are so close you can almost touch them!

#FotoVorschlag: Näher dran geht's nicht // Can't get any closer

Näher dran an die #TerrakottaArmee kommt man nicht und sieht so die unglaublichen Details - jeder #Krieger ist einzigartig, bis hin zu den Schuhsohlen! Auch wenn die Farben mittlerweile kaum noch zu sehen sind, hat mich das sehr beeindruckt. Es zeigt aber auch, dass auch damals schon größenwahnsinnige Spinner an der Macht waren 🙄 // You can't get any closer to the #TerracottaArmy than this and marvel at the wonderful details - each #warrior is unique, down to the soles of his shoes! The colours are mostly faded now but still, I was deeply impressed. It also shows that megalomaniac leaders aren't a recent development. 🙄
