Factory of Faith

St Marys Lowe House in St Helens. Known as 'The Poor Man's Cathedral'. Built with donations from the poor. A testament to northern industrial grit and community spirit.
#StHelens #IndustrialHeritage #Architecture #History
A low-angle photograph of St Mary Lowe House in St Helens at sunset. The "Poor Man's Cathedral" is constructed from light buff-colored sandstone, featuring a massive tower and a large oxidized copper-green dome. The golden hour light illuminates the industrial-grade reinforced glass windows of the dome and the Romanesque arches.

By Ego’s Breath... 🌫️

We move through the world shrouded in the mist of our own perceptions, a distortion of our own making. Yet, the stark reality of truth still breaks through. 🌳✨

#Photography #Mindfulness #Philosophy #LandscapePhotography
An ethereal aerial view of a green countryside at dawn. A thick, white mist clings to the low-lying fields and follows the curves of a river, partially obscuring the landscape. Several dark, solitary trees and stone walls pierce through the fog, standing out as sharp, grounded landmarks against the soft, hazy atmosphere of the morning light.

Ten Words.
'The power of a mantra when everything else falls away.'

#Hooponopono #Photography #BlackAndWhite #MentalHealth #Healing #Resilience #Portrait #TenWords #Spirituality
A high-contrast, grainy black and white close-up portrait of a man wearing a dark beanie and a heavy hooded jacket. His gaze is direct and weary, capturing a raw moment of vulnerability and resilience following an emotional release. The texture of the image is gritty, emphasizing a sense of somber, quiet reflection.

At my best.
A study in vulnerability and high-contrast B&W.

✨ Blue Hour - Skipton. ✨
Something so inviting about the warm glow of a local shopfront against the twilight sky. Captured a moment of calm at Holistic House - perfect for a bit of "nourishment for mind, body, & soul."🧘‍♀️🌿

#Skipton #BlueHour #CozyVibes #Mindfulness #HolisticLiving #StreetPhotography
A professional architectural-style photograph of a storefront named "Holistic House" in Skipton at twilight. The stone building is illuminated by a warm, golden light from within the shop window, which displays colorful textiles and plants. The street is paved with cobblestones, and strings of warm festoon lights hang overhead, leading the eye down a narrow, quiet alleyway under a deep blue evening sky. The image is captured with straight vertical lines and a balanced, atmospheric contrast.

We build temporary structures to support the eternal. The "Scaffolding of Belief" reminds us that even the most solid foundations require maintenance, care, and a little bit of structural support during the transition. 🧱✨

#Photography #Architecture #BlackAndWhite #Art #Metaphor
A high-contrast black and white vertical photograph of a stone church spire encased in complex metal scaffolding. The spire rises from a textured stone base with arched windows. The scaffolding creates a geometric, skeletal frame around the tapering stone structure against a streaky, cloud-filled sky. In the background, the soft silhouettes of a town and trees are visible under a bright horizon.

What Lies Behind the Veil?

There’s a quiet mystery in the things we can’t quite see.

#skylog #NaturePhotography #moody #landscapes
A moody and atmospheric landscape photograph. The scene is shrouded in a thick, ethereal mist or fog that obscures the background, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the textures of the natural environment in the foreground while the "veil" of fog creates a minimalist, peaceful aesthetic.

A morning blanket of mist over the Yorkshire Dales. 🌫️ There’s a quiet magic in the way the stone barn sits against the rolling fog and the ancient dry stone walls. The world feels completely still, caught between the night and the new day.
#LandscapePhotography #Yorkshire #MorningMist #Fog
A black and white landscape photograph showing a stone farmhouse and barn in a rural valley. Thick, low-lying mist weaves between clusters of trees in the background, while a traditional dry stone wall and a railway track run across the foreground. The mood is serene and atmospheric.

Golden hour over St Helens. 🌇
A mixture of ecclesiastical and industrial architecture. Pilkington's Glass Works from St Thomas' church.

#StHelens #IndustrialHeritage #StThomasChurch #PilkingtonGlass #Merseyside #Skyline #GoldenHour
A photograph taken from the roof of St Thomas' Church on Peter Street in St Helens, looking out toward an industrial skyline. In the foreground, the dark silhouettes of red brick crenelations (battlements) are lit by the warm, orange glow of a sunset. In the distance, the tall chimneys and sprawling factory buildings of the Pilkington glass works are visible against a soft, pale blue and orange sky. The image captures a blend of ecclesiastical architecture and the town's famous industrial landscape

The quiet architecture of the Royal Albert Dock at night. 🌙 There is something about the symmetry of Liverpool's waterfront in black and white that feels timeless. Always a favorite spot for a midnight stroll.

#Liverpool #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Art
A high-angle, black and white photograph of the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool at night. The historic brick warehouse buildings are illuminated against a dark sky, perfectly reflected in the still water of the dock. In the background, the city lights of the Wirral shoreline twinkle across the River Mersey.

Sunrise over Clitheroe Castle. 🏰✨

There is nothing quite like the Lancashire mist rolling through the valley at dawn. Finally dialed in the edit to capture the light exactly how it felt in the moment.

#Clitheroe #Lancashire #Photography #AerialPhotography #DronePhoto #Sunrise #UK
A professional aerial photograph of Clitheroe Castle keep at sunrise. The stone castle stands prominently on a hill in the foreground, partially shrouded in low-lying white mist. In the background, a church spire and an industrial chimney rise above the fog. The sky features a vibrant gradient transition from deep orange at the horizon to a soft, pale pink above.

Following the winding path of Mickleden Beck. There’s nothing quite like the scale of the Great Langdale valley when the light hits the fells just right. A moody, beautiful day in the heart of the Lake District. 🏔️☁️
#Mickleden #LakeDistrict #GreatLangdale #Cumbria #Hiking #Landscape
A high-angle, atmospheric landscape of Mickleden valley in the Lake District. A narrow, silvery river snakes in a sharp S-curve through dark green, undulating moorland. In the distance, a small cluster of buildings sits nestled at the base of steep, dramatic fells. Sunlight breaks through heavy, dark grey clouds, illuminating a patch of the valley floor and the side of a sloping mountain.

Standing tall. St Mary's Church in Clitheroe, watching over the Ribble Valley. There's a profound, quiet strength in these ancient stones and gothic lines that always captivates me.

Winding down from Whernside with Ingleborough on the horizon. ⛰️ This colored pencil piece captures a favorite section of the path from last spring. The scale of the Dales is always a joy to draw.
#Yorkshire #Hiking #YorkshireDales #Art #TraditionalArt #LandscapeArt #ThreePeaks #HillWalking
A detailed colored pencil drawing of a winding stone path leading through the rolling green hills of the Yorkshire Dales. In the distance, the prominent flat-topped peak of Ingleborough sits under a soft blue sky with wispy clouds. A rustic wooden fence runs along the bottom right foreground, and the landscape is dotted with green fields and small clusters of trees.
