#MagdeburgCathedral

We're enjoying a 4-day weekend and are off to meet friends (and maybe find inspiration for today's photo prompt), so I don't have time for an epic #Doorsday post. Instead, here's the visitor's entrance to #Magdeburg Cathedral, in all its old, crooked, metal glory. Simple, and not that beautiful, but would you look at the #door #handle! 😱

Have a good bank holiday today – if you're lucky enough to have the day off 😬

A weathered, dark metal door with a bright yellow lower panel. The metal shows signs of age and oxidation, with patches of turquoise and orange. A decorative metal handle and escutcheon are visible on the left side. The door is set within a frame of similar dark, textured metal.

The image shows a close-up of a weathered, dark metal door. The metal surface exhibits signs of age and oxidation, with patches of turquoise and orange. A decorative metal handle and escutcheon, featuring a bird-shaped handle and a design of birds on branches, are visible on the left side of the door. When using the door handle, it looks like the bird that forms the handle is feeding the smaller birds below.

Here's one of the new #gargoyles of #MagdeburgCathedral for #SpookySaturday 👹 I love this one! I wish I had a better camera to capture more details

A low-angle, close-up shot captures the intricate architectural details of a Magdeburg Cathedral. The structure is predominantly grey, with variations in tone suggesting age and exposure to the elements.
The focal point is a grotesque gargoyle figure, positioned on the left side of the frame. It is carved from the same grey stone as the building and features a somewhat humanoid face with large eyes and a downturned mouth, combined with bat-like wings that extend downwards. Patches of green moss or lichen are visible on its surface, indicating its age and exposure to moisture.
To the right of the gargoyle, a section of the building's facade shows ornate Gothic-style arched windows or niches, also constructed from grey stone. Above these architectural elements, more detailed stonework and mouldings are visible, running horizontally across the building's surface. The texture of the stone is rough and uneven, with signs of weathering.

A detailed close-up captures the intricate stonework and stained glass of a Gothic archway, likely part of a cathedral. The arch is constructed from light-coloured stone, showing signs of weathering and age. The stonework features multiple layers of pointed arches, adorned with decorative mouldings and carvings.
The stained glass windows within the arch are a deep blue, patterned with a delicate, repeating geometric design of small circles. The windows are framed by ornate stone tracery, forming clover-like and quatrefoil shapes. Small, stylised floral or foliate carvings are integrated into the stone framework around the central and upper windows.
A slender, intricately carved stone pillar or mullion divides the lower section of the archway. The overall impression is one of impressive craftsmanship and architectural detail, typical of Gothic design.

Whooosh.

(This is an aaaah-the-light-is-so-nice-fumbling-around-for-my-phone photo of the #Elbe river in #Magdeburg I took last night on the way home. The church on the right is the #MagdeburgCathedral.)

A long exposure shot taken at dusk shows a cityscape bordering a wide river. The sky is a deep blue with some lighter streaks near the horizon, suggesting the fading or approaching light. The river, reflecting the sky and the city lights, flows horizontally across the frame, its surface slightly blurred due to the long exposure.
Along both banks of the river, buildings are illuminated with warm yellow lights, creating a contrast with the cool blue tones of the sky and water. Trees line the riverbanks, their dark silhouettes visible against the city lights. Several boats are docked along the river, their lights adding to the urban glow.
In the foreground, a pedestrian is captured in motion, walking from left to right across what appears to be a bridge. The long exposure has blurred the person's form, indicating movement. The bridge has metal railings that run horizontally across the lower half of the frame, slightly obscuring the view of the river and the opposite bank.

Sonntag ist Domtag.

Gemütlich am Ufer sitzen in der Hafenbar im Winterhafen.

Ein Wasserspeier in Form eines Gargoyles (bestehend aus aggressiv zähnefletschenden Hundekopf, angedrückten Fledermausflügeln und dürren Beinen). Er schaut drohend und Unheil verkündend von der Außenwand des Magdeburger Doms herab.
