#cathedral

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

Been inspired to make a little more progress on the #Minecraft #cathedral we're building.

It is based loosely on the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de #Chartres including the labyrinth which @solcita designed and rendered. The build was my primary coping mechanism in the earlier part of the pandemic and as spoons allow, @solcita and I continue on it just as the pandemic continues.

It's worth noting that this world is a Survival world, and all of the diorite used to construct this cathedral is mined by hand. The floor is made of half-block and lit at intervals from beneath with torches lending to the criss-cross pattern visible. This is in part to prevent the spawning of mobs.

I wanted the impossible forever project, and it has not disappointed. 🙂

Mentally, i'm here. Physically sitze ich auf meiner Couch und frage mich ob #Flashes was kann und ob ich wirklich noch ein insta-like Social Network brauche und ob ich mich nicht einfach für immer ausloggen sollte (bis mir einfällt dass ich in der medienbranche arbeite und 100% meiner arbeit online stattfindet) - schade. jedenfalls ist das mein Lieblingsbild aus meinem Urlaub und die Kathedrale von Porto war das Highlight, trotz der Tourimassen, mit denen ich im März nicht gerechnet hatte: Ein Foto dieser Kathedrale war vor ca. 7 Jahren der Grund, wieso Porto auf meine Travel-Bucket-Liste kam.
