Phot-o' the Day; Zagreb Cathedral; Zagreb, Croatia


Today's Phot-o' the Day is ripped from the headlines. Sort of.

Back on March 22, when the only news any of the rest of us were focused on was coronavirus coronavirus coronavirus, Zagreb, Croatia, was hit by 5.5 earthquake. That's right at the cusp of what strength can cause major damage. Among the buildings damaged was the Cathedral of Zagreb, as seen here from Trg bana Josipa Jelačića, Jelacic Square, the main square in downtown Zagreb.

The top few feet of the one spire closest to us are gone. The other spire is standing relatively intact, but upon later inspection, it was found to have been displaced enough during the earthquake that it will have to be removed, too.
