Via dell'Archiginnasio

On your left there is Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio and on your right, a sliver of the Basilica to San Petronio.
Construction started on the Basilica in 1390 - alla Sagrada Familia style - they were still building it in 1514 when a new architect was brought on to build the dome. Legend has it that Pope Pius IV halted the construction of the "megalomaniac dream" and encouraged the building of the Archiginnasio.
The Archiginnasio is one of the most important buildings in Bologna. It was the main hub of the University. It now houses the Anatomical Theatre and The Archeological Museum.
We got the Archiginnasio but the Basilica has never been finished. 😂
Follow for more lazy recaps of Bolognese history!😂😂😂

The Triumphal Arch Of The Carousel

"The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel was built by Percier and Fontaine in circa 1806 to 1808 to celebrate the Napoleonic victories of 1805, and it was originally intended as a monumental entrance to the Tuileries palace."

The image showcases a striking architectural scene centered around the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, a magnificent triumphal arch. The arch is intricately adorned with detailed sculptures and reliefs, reflecting a rich history and artistry. Above, a chariot is depicted, pulled by horses, symbolizing victory and grandeur. Surrounding the arch, the environment exudes a serene ambiance, perhaps suggesting a moment frozen in time. The contrast of light and shadow, accentuated by the black-and-white treatment, adds a dramatic flair, enhancing the elegance of the structure. In the background, the Louvre’s distinct architecture looms, further contextualizing the arch's historical significance. Visitors appear small beneath the towering arch, emphasizing its monumental scale. This invites reflection on themes of time, history, and coming together in a space that has witnessed countless events and societal changes. The atmosphere invites curiosity about the stories held within its walls, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the past.

“Louis IX is the only canonized king of France and the only Capetian king of France with an equestrian statue. His equestrian statue is placed above the entrance of the Sacré-Coeur in Paris.”
equestrianstatue.org/louis-ix/

The image captures an architectural composition featuring the grand building of the Sacré-Coeur basilica, with intricate stonework and turrets reaching into the sky. Dominating the scene is a statuesque figure on horseback of Louis IX, poised and commanding, which adds a sense of majesty and historical significance to the structure. The monochromatic tones envelop the scene in a dramatic atmosphere, hinting at a blend of solemnity and elegance. The details of the stone carvings, from the ornate arches to the carefully sculpted figures, highlight the craftsmanship of a bygone era, inviting viewers to contemplate the stories and symbols embedded in the architecture. The positioning of the statue on the highest point emphasizes a theme of protection or guardianship, suggesting it watches over the surroundings. This visual interplay between the figure, the building, and the skies above may evoke thoughts of history, faith, and the cultural narratives that shape a place. Overall, the image conveys a sense of timelessness and reverence, inviting reflection on the past as it intersects with the present.

I had a really hard time making this image during a super moon. For those who know Marseille, this is one of the angels that adorn the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde. There are very few angles to achieve perfect alignment of this angel with the super moon and I only had a few seconds to take this image with a very large telephoto lens. Voilà !

How I took this photo ? Panasonic GH4 Tamron 150-600 mm f5-6,3 x 2 so 1200 mm 1/1000e f6,3 Iso 500 Manual Raw Not IA natural light

The Basilica of Saint Mary Minneapolis Springtime The Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a historic and architectural landmark that serves as a center of worship, arts, and community engagement. Completed in 1914, it was the first basilica established in the United States and is renowned for its stunning Beaux-Arts architecture, designed by French architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray. The basilica features an impressive marble and granite façade, a grand central dome, and intricate interior details, including beautiful stained-glass windows, ornate sculptures, and a richly decorated altar. Located near Loring Park, the basilica plays a significant role in the cultural and spiritual life of the Twin Cities. It hosts regular worship services, concerts, and community events, including the popular Basilica Block Party, a music festival that raises funds for restoration and outreach programs. As a designated co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, it continues to be a place of inspiration, welcoming visitors and worshippers with its blend of historical significance, artistic beauty, and commitment to social service.

“Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar” — Dusk view of the Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar and the Ebro River, Zaragoza, Spain.

As the new year begins we are still thinking about our travels at the end of the old year. In late 2024 we spent six weeks visiting in Germany, France, Spain, and New York City — and we’ve only been back a few days. This photograph comes from Zaragoza, Spain, one of the pleasant surprises of this trip. We spent several days there and we loved the place. Seen here is the Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar, a remarkable cathedral on the banks of the Ebro River…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/01/01/ba
