Did you stub your toe? It's hard to tell which one, because they're so small... (Jk)

Reply to comment by wanking_to_got in Someone beheaded a statue in a Cambridge cemetery by ApacheSnow

I spoke to a man at the cemetery - a local who was walking his dog - who told me that this likely wasn't the handiwork of a student, but rather of one of the several homeless people who sometimes sleep on the overturned tombstones of several graves. I don't know if he was telling the truth or if it was just pure speculation, but apparently, the cemetery is "a notorious haunt for drug users and rough sleepers". While I don't condone vandalism, I can't help but think that whoever did it created a piece of iconoclastic art, intentionally or otherwise

Reply to Sumela monastery, Trabzon, Turkiye by Drunkcodes

Established 386 ce. Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) facing the Altındere valley, it is a site of great historical and cultural significance, as well as a major tourist attraction within Altındere National Park. Due to an increase in rock falls, on 22 September 2015 the monastery was closed to the public for safety reasons for the duration of one year to resolve the problem; this was later extended to three years. It reopened to tourists 25 May 2019.[3] The monastery is one of the most important historic and touristic venues in Trabzon.[4] - Wikipedia
