Congregation

While touring Georgian Bay i came across this peculiar assembly...

That is indeed fascinating. I pored over it for some while.

Whitbarrow Scar

After months of looking at this limestone hill across the valley from our new home, we finally made time to get over there and do a bit of exploring.

The steep sides have been quarried historically but are now mostly wooded, including some venerable yew trees.

There was a cave marked on the map, reached by a slightly precipitous path. Not sure it was worth the detour...

Emerging onto the plateau into a different world. The thyme covered hump looks like an inviting place to sit and admire the view... But I wouldn't recommend sitting on this beautifully upholstered anthill 😁

Amazing to have such beauty on your doorstep.
Maybe it would have been worth bravely venturing into the cave. You may have been rewarded with piles of ancient gold.
Love the weatherworn little tree in this shot.

Medieval days in old town

Over this weekend there are medieval daysin old town. It's center is in town hall square where various handcraft is sold and concerts given. There are also other tours and concerts, I wanted to go to Rondellus' concert Sabbatum, where they play Black Sabbath music in latin, with medieval instruments and settings. To my dismay this concert was sold out, so I just walked yesterday evening in old town with my camera. It's raining a lot here but yesterday evening was sunny so old town was filled with tourists and locals, but only main streets and squares, other streets were quite empty. I guess in tourist maps only 3-4 main streets in old town are shown :D
Some shots with OM-3, SOOC.

WHICH TOWN? WHERE?

On my way to a (fabulous) restaurant on the outskirts of Rio, we stopped in this tiny town, fleetingly, to buy some water. I would had loved to gone back and spend some more time there. Santa Teresa, such a vibe.
And my apologies for a lack of participation last week due to a birthday party at my house.

Looks indeed to be nice place to explore, narrow streets, old buildings..

Tonbridge train station. Rusted metal, peeled paints and graffiti.

I like tonality of this photo, suits well with this industrial environment. Not fan of tagging signs, though here they add this abandoned feeling.

Love such old gnarled trees.

Sorry, I forgot that there could be others looking at this thread, frequent visitors probably know from where each of one is. But these are from my hometown Tallinn, Estonia. It has medieval old town in city center, some parts of it are quite well preserved and there are quite frequently various events taking place.

Veseley

As part of our holiday, Vesey was a stopover on our way back from the UK. The Abbey is this small village is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, even if it suffered the heavy handed restauration of Viollet-le-Duc in the Nineteenth Century. In fact the outer façade is a complete rebuilding of the existent.

The inner entrance into the Nave and the column capitals are the most remarkable features in this Abbey. The Choir area is Gothic.

The place was deserted and I was able to use my 24mm PC on a tripod.

Superb. The second above has simplicity and subtlety. Must put this place on my 'returning home' route one day. Vézeley I think.

I did take peek. Piles of recent aluminium more like 😉

Yes, Vézelay. Thanks for the correction.

We stayed in a hotel in the village, and got there early before more visitors arrived. If you like this sort of thing, it is vell worth thinking about it as a stopping off point. It is quite near the Motorway. We did make the mistake of believing the Satnav, which took us to the Motorways that circle Paris. It was hell, in the heat.

One of the 'summit' cairns, looking toward the Lakeland fells - that dog's tooth wreathed in cloud will be Pike o'Stickle in Langdale

In the other direction, Morecambe Bay and the distant hulk of Heysham power station.

More thyme...

Returning to the car, the nose of the Scar is quite impressive from below.

Looks like there are some good walks to be had in this area. I really like these sort of rugged landscapes.
