Well,I could have shown people waiting to cross the road or other takes on cross, but decided to go with this one- the reproduction of the Pinnacle Cross made for the rebuilt Frauenkirche in Dresden – this image was taken in 2001, before the restoration was complete:
Linked to One Word Sunday at Debbie’s here
A nice cross Sue
Yes, and the main craftsman was the son of one of the bomber crew who was in the raid that destroyed the church in the war
That is an interesting fact.
and multiple scaffolding crosses too!
Quite so!
The scaffolding makes the image even more striking.
Yes
It really stands out in this shot, Sue. Great that you got to see it so clearly even though the other work was still ongoing.
A cross or two with a difference :- https://davidoakes-images.com/2024/04/07/ows-debbies-one-word-sunday-challenge-cross/
Impressive indeed. When I went to Dresden it was still in the DDR. Restoration was ‘ongoing’, but The Zwinger had been completed enough for us to take a tour of it.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, Dresden’s restoration was good to see
The grey scaffolding makes it glow
Good point, Pauline!
Excellent choice, Sue!
Thank you, Amy!
The contrast between the cross and the scaffolding! Magical.
Thank you, John. More magical was who the cross was created by….
