It’s been raining for days here and everyone is slightly gloomy. So let’s have some links about ruins and mausoleums!

After World War I, postcards showing ruins were…well, not popular, exactly, but often-purchased souvenirs of what had happened.

A mausoleum design from the 1800s inspired Britain’s iconic telephone box! (No word on whether it had any influence on the TARDIS.)

Stelios Faitakis is an artist using Greek Byzantine imagery in very modern ways. The Instagram account has some absolutely incredible work.
