These are some wonderful photos of outstanding architecture. These were the glory days of European architecture as reflected across the continent in this time period. Spice, and some other terrible sorts of business funded them, as is usual with these things, but we can't deny the magnificence of these structures and intricacy of the art.

Yeah that's true for sure. A lot of terrible shit went down in the past. Some things in the recent past unfortunately. There certainly was a crazy mix of greatness and infamy throughout most of human history. It's nice to admire the beauty of our creation and hopefully learn from our mistakes.
