Cathedrals
I love cathedrals, I really do. And I love living in a place with a plethora of them. This is Regensburg's Cathedral: | ||||||||||
| People built this with their bare hands a thousand years ago. Bare hands! A thousand years ago! |
 |
| I want these in my living room. Is that so wrong? |
 |
| Although this looks like a venerable saint being mugged for his cloak, it actually represents St Martin sharing his cape with a penniless beggar. I find the statues in Regensburg's cathedral charmingly ambiguous. See below: |
 |
| Two figures, smooching saucily. Quite at odds with their surroundings, not least because - to my untrained eye - they look like two women. Very mysterious and very much ahead of its time. |
 |
| The dirndl shop down the road. I want a dirndl. I want to be clad in the costume of a nation that celebrates the virtues of the well-stacked woman. |
