We're enjoying a 4-day weekend and are off to meet friends (and maybe find inspiration for today's photo prompt), so I don't have time for an epic #Doorsday post. Instead, here's the visitor's entrance to #Magdeburg Cathedral, in all its old, crooked, metal glory. Simple, and not that beautiful, but would you look at the #door #handle! 😱

Have a good bank holiday today – if you're lucky enough to have the day off 😬

A weathered, dark metal door with a bright yellow lower panel. The metal shows signs of age and oxidation, with patches of turquoise and orange. A decorative metal handle and escutcheon are visible on the left side. The door is set within a frame of similar dark, textured metal.
The image shows a close-up of a weathered, dark metal door. The metal surface exhibits signs of age and oxidation, with patches of turquoise and orange. A decorative metal handle and escutcheon, featuring a bird-shaped handle and a design of birds on branches, are visible on the left side of the door. When using the door handle, it looks like the bird that forms the handle is feeding the smaller birds below.

After Pitlochry today, we headed for Dunkeld since it was on the way home.

I adore Dunkeld, so many old buildings lead the way to the cathedral. The cathedral itself is an interesting building, the history of it is absolutely fascinating. The present cathedral dates from 1318, parts of it took a battering during the Reformation. The choir part of the cathedral does have a roof and is used as the parish church. The church part is open to visitors and is a lovely, peaceful space, with a small museum attached to tell you the history of the place. The grounds are beautiful, tall trees and lush green grass, home to a lot of rabbits. The river Tay - yes, the same river I sit next to when I pop to the shops - runs alongside the grounds.

Dunkeld is a lovely place, there isn't an awful lot to do there, but there are some amazing walks in the area (one day I might manage them again). Although I am not religious, visiting the cathedral is always a highlight, a place I feel at peace.

Today has been pretty damn good.

A terrible photo of The Atholl Memorial Fountain in Dunkeld. It is an ornate tall fountain, a stone base, four pillars with ornate arches and a spire reaching up into the sky. The fountain is covered in stone carvings of different native animals and birds. In the centre of the fountain is a carving of fish. On each side of the fountain is what appears to be a metal lions head which are the spouts of the fountain, spilling water into a stone bowl. Behind the fountain is the stone building which is the community archive.
The large and imposing stained glass window within Dunkeld Cathedral. There are 10 large panes in the window depicting people/different religious scenes. Above the large panes are 8 smaller panes each with one person depicted. The colours are bold - reds, greens, blues.
A view of the cathedral taken from within the grounds. Looking up the sloped grass and through the tall trees, the catherdral can be seen. A large stone building with 2 very distinct halves. One have is the restored choir which is in use today for services. The other half is in a serious state of disrepair, through the ruined windows and the upper ledge where there was a roof, scaffolding is visible.
A view of Dunkeld Bridge, its stone arches span the river Tay. The distant landscape is trees, hills covered in trees, lots of greenery!

The narrow nave of the Viterbo Cathedral. A central aisle is flanked by rows of wooden pews. Rows of columns on either side of the nave have elaborate capitals. A simple altar in an alcove is at the far end. The ceiling is exposed wood.
