Above All Kingdoms

While traveling with my family to München, we visited the beautiful Frauenkirche. While walking toward the altar, I looked up to see the Christ crucified Above All Kingdoms. I have visited many cathedrals and churches and never seen anything so powerful.

Berliner Dom

Last one for today and... yes, I decided to do another black and white photograph. I really think architecture looks better that way. Anyway, so this is the Berliner Dom (the Berlin Cathedral). Itis a Lutheran cathedral on Museum Island in the Mitte district of the city, built between 1895 and 1905.

During the Second World War, the building was bombed by the Allies and severely damaged (quite tragic how many beautiful buildings were destroyed or severely damaged in the war). A temporary roof was installed to protect what remained of the interior and in 1975 reconstruction started. The restoration of the interior was begun in 1984 and in 1993 the church reopened.
