Beautiful image, Jojo.  I love the detail in the archways.  Is what we see
there just a small part of a larger model?  ...Oh, and the historical notes
in your post are quite nice too!  :)

Hello!

For you October 31st is "Halloween".
For me it is the day (485 years ago) when Dr Martin Luther nailed 95 theses
against the practice of indulgence on the portal of the Schlosskirche
(chateau church) in Wittenberg. This was a revolt against the Church's
doctrine and let set in the age of the Reformation. So the schism of the
Churches began (which was in fact not intended by Luther).

Well, historical research nowadays questions this formal act of nailing the
theses on the door. However, it has become sort of a legend and a symbol of
moral courage.

Bye

Hello!

Beautiful image, Jojo.  I love the detail in the archways.

Thanks!

Unfortunatelly not. I've only built this portal just for this one picture.
This door would fit into my cathedral though. If only I had bricks and space
enough to build the cathedral...

...Oh, and the historical notes
in your post are quite nice too!  :)

I'm pleased to hear that :-)

Bye
Jojo
