A recent stones trip to Coldrum long barrow in Kent with @classicalalan.bsky.social - misty, muddy and very atmospheric! This place is 6,000 years old, just so awesome. #StandingStoneSunday

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France 📷

A thin stream of water is illuminated by the sunlight above, and gives the illusion of a full waterfall inside the dell. The marvel of nature.

A rather splendid ornate (flowery) screen across the tower and porch of St Mary, Bruton, Somerset. Dated 1620 and possibly given by John Sampson, churchwarden. Pevsner wonders if the screen was originally made for installation elsewhere.

Knight-time prayers. Fifteenth century splendour at St Michael’s, Stanton Harcourt. A special place!
Scene of a church interior showing two painted effigies of knights from 1480-1520. The knights lie on raised tombs lit by huge windows casting streaked shadows upon them.

A little Sunday morning romance. The Beggars Bridge at Glaisdale. The bridge is the centre of the wonderfully romantic legend of Thomas Ferris, a poor man who had been denounced as a beggar by the local squire. Thomas was in love with the squire’s daughter Agnes Richardson. Before Thomas 1/3
This image is a vintage photochrom print of the historic Beggar's Bridge in Glaisdale, North Yorkshire. The bridge spans the River Esk and is a notable local landmark. It was built in 1619 by Thomas Ferris, a wealthy merchant who, according to legend, was once a poor farmer prevented from crossing the river by a flood. The structure is a 17th-century, single-arched packhorse bridge. It holds a Grade II* listed building status and is also a Scheduled Monument

St Margaret of Antioch spearing the dragon at South Newington. Margaret refused to renounce christianity and one of the delights awaiting her was to be consumed by Satan disguised as a dragon. Her cross scratched his insides and she was regurgitated. Sadly, she was decapitated later.

Beyond the old Norman entrance of Skipton Castle is the gem that is Conduit Court. This paved and cobbled courtyard, surrounded by a range of domestic Tudor buildings, contains the famous yew tree reputedly planted by Lady Anne Clifford. The courtyard takes its
This image displays the Conduit Court at Skipton Castle, a medieval castle in North Yorkshire, The castle has been preserved for over 900 years and is considered one of the most complete and well-preserved medieval castles in England. The court is named for the 16th-century water piping that terminated here. The prominent, twisting yew tree in the center is thought to have been planted in 1659 by Lady Anne Clifford to celebrate the castle's restoration after the English Civil War.

The impressive vaulted ceiling of the Crypt below Glasgow Cathedral. The crypt was built in the mid-1200s to house the tomb of St Mungo, the founder of the cathedral and the city's patron saint.

South door, interior #StMaryEastBrent from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuttonToBrentKnoll leg. Cross braced. Styles that extend around the 2-centred head and a ledge that looks as if it was shaped with an adze. A sheer door delight #AdoorableThursday

The image shows a dried hop cone (Humulus lupulus) hanging from a long, thin branch and covered in snow. The background is bokeh.

Beneath a soft blue evening sky we are walking a trail along a wooded ridge crest in the golden slanting rays and long shadows of the late day sun. The forest floor is carpeted with low leafy underbrush with patches of bright green moss.

Two men pass the time of day on a sun-dappled bench on the courthouse square in San Augustine, Texas, 1943. I imagine them to be old friends and old farmers who tell the same old jokes and stories and always laugh. There's a beautiful spirit about this John Vachon photo.
