St.-Baafskathedraal
While in Ghent, we visited this historic cathedral. Click any image to see them large (click post title, above, first if that’s not working).

Some more pictures of the Bamberg area taken in 1955-56 on Kodachrome slide film by my father.
According to Wikipedia, “Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the “Franconian Rome” — although a running joke among Bamberg’s tour guides is to refer to Rome instead as the “Italian Bamberg”. The hills are Cathedral Hill, Michaelsberg, Kaulberg/Obere Pfarre, Stefansberg, Jakobsberg, Altenburger Hill and Abtsberg.” I’m not sure which of these are pictured below, or even if these are all churches and not some of the many Schlösser my mother told me about but couldn’t identify.

I’ve really been enjoying the work of iphoneographer Davide Capponi on his blog, rubicorno. When I passed the back of St Patrick’s the other night, I couldn’t resist the opportunity for this hommage, though mine was shot with a DSLR and developed in Lightroom and Nik Color Efex.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen St John the Divine without bus-loads of tourists milling about everywhere. Had to take a snap.
