Curiosity keeps life interesting!
Phenomenal photography!
✨I always lose myself in this photo. 📷A moment of serenity: the jaw-dropping Gothic beauty of Salisbury Cathedral, mirrored in the shimmering reflection of William Pye’s font. 📷 #throwbackthursday

What a lovely store. Read the thread through
What’s in a picture?

A memory. A childhood. A future shaped by the hands of a father.

Photographs tell stories, beautifully, evocatively, and sometimes secretively, and often they tie us to the destinies we shape for ourselves with our own hands. 7/9

Gorgeous!
As we headed into a 2nd wave of Covid in 2020, drawing York Minster seemed to offer a way of keeping steady, a little less worried. I added some pigeons (doves?) to show a bit of life.

For any family historian this is an interesting story of one family’s move from Clare to Connecticut. Detailed PhD research and a great example of how successful migration of one generation led to subsequent generations emigrating to the same area.

For a few moments of serenity in this turbulent world I please give Andy your support from as little as £2 per month. His architectural photography is sublime, his words thought provoking. His eye for the small detail that frames the whole, unmatched.

Poulnabrone • The Burren

Situated in the heart of the Burren, Poulnabrone is one of Ireland's earliest dated megalithic tombs.

During excavations, the co-mingled remains of at least 36 individuals were recovered from the tomb chamber, largely dating from c.3800–3200 BC.
