In further proof that you shouldn’t let an art restorer with credentials from the back of a cereal box actually restore art, this is a before-and-after shot of a 1923 statue adorning the top of a bank building in Palencia, Spain that was restored by somebody who I’m sure has

This is a visualization created by MetaBallStudios (previously) of the size of various cities around the globe as measured by total urban area and not just “city proper (administrative) or metropolitan area.” There are some big-ass cities in the world!
