I am looking - sometimes. There's a difference between looking at some crappy concrete mega church or a medieval cathedral or cloister. Although I have to admit, I'm looking far too little. What's right under your nose usually escapes your notice. But I always will have fond memories of our late town archeologist leading us around and pointing out the different styles and tools being used by the stone masons. You actually can tell by the toolmarks when the particular stone was crafted. Which, in case of my hometown cloister, covers a span from the 12th to the 19th century.
