@hellovonnie Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Book-spine poetry and a journey of holiday book recommendations.

Clever, original, hand-drawn chalkboard ads are even more delightful to see these days. Like flowers growing in the rubbish heap of AI slop in public spaces.

@liebach The Fediverse is forgiving - tak

@EregLoch Yes, and the way the bell frame blends in with the church from certain angles - so well designed.

@liebach I wasn't sorry enough not to post another toot, at any rate

@NellytheWillow I was feeling a bit sheepish about posting one random Silent Sunday-photo that accidentally grew into a long thread, so thank you for saying that And agreed, it's a beautiful door frame. Striking in contrast to the simple, austere, gloomy interior.

@Chris

@Chris @forestfjord There are a few tiny holes for light in the walls at distant spots. The day I took the photos, there was extreme-heat sunshine. It created that one bright light-ball on the floor at different angles, depending where you stood. In that dark, atmospheric place, it seemed like something deliberate and otherworldly.

My apologies for lying to the Fediverse. Here comes one more toot. I was just packing away my photos from the Viking church and spotted the door frame. I don't want it to feel overlooked and under-appreciated.

@Chris

@forestfjord @Chris It is an excellent door, isn't it. The hinges alone are magnificent. Architectural elements from 1060 hold their own, in both senses, all these centuries later. The door is absolutely not within my gift. Best I can do you is another blurry photo of it from an inside angle.

@Chris Now I'm imagining the ghosts of hundreds of Vikings chasing after me when they see me steal it. I wouldn't dare!

@percefia

I'll stop now, I promise. Last one. As well as the bell, I just think the door deserves a look-in too.

I didn't mean to start an actual thread of photos of the Viking church, but now that I've accidentally done so, I feel I should include the bell.

@1pseudodeplus Oui, c'est definitely vrai!

@jvschrag All the costumes are cool and fun and detailed - great photos.

There's a sacred feeling inside this reconstructed Viking church, not in any religious sense, but because it's impossible not to 'see' the ghosts of the people who used to worship here, sitting there in the small, gloomy space. A congregation of forgotten names and stories.
