Hagia Sofia Funhouse
some beautiful work - fun false capitols (basket capitols) that looked unusually detailed carving, even more impressive up close and you realize the carvings are freestanding, not attatched to the stone at all. useless, but beautiful. somehow the ages have melted down the church a bit though,and walking around the second floor arcades the arches wave dangerously close to eachother... the painting just emphasizes it... unless it was downplayed and it was even worse. wierd detail of a vault underneathe the dome - double dome? but with more original paintings... they seemed so loosely put down, they didn't care that the lines weren't straight. maybe because they're weavers not quilters?
