Toledo is the theme once again for my contribution to this week’s Look Up, Look Down photo challenge, laid on by travelwithintent.
First up is the steeple of Saint Thomas’s Church (Iglesia de Santo Tomé), advertising an organ concert:
The next one is a tiny segment of Toledo Cathedral’s elaborate main portal:
I’m forever sneaking lanterns into these posts 😉 I took this pic on a dull day, and thought that it looked best in black and white.
Are you going to the concert? Oh, and which movie did you see?

Nooooo, not quite my thing… I’m a pleb through and through.
Some Danish film. “Jagten”. Very good and absolutely gripping, but very depressing 😦

They gave a free organ concert in the Cathedral a few months ago, I was in there, and it was very impressive in that bombastic setting. Toledo Cathedral is the first Cathedral that was built in Spain, it’s where it all started.
