'Autumn Arch'

A stone arch frames a lush green field below a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds, capturing Jervaulx Abbey's serene beauty.

Sparty 🙏🏼💙

This image captures a view through a weathered stone archway at Jervaulx Abbey, a 12th-century Cistercian monastery in North Yorkshire. The massive, uneven blocks of pale sandstone form a rugged frame, their rough textures and varying shades of tan and yellowy-brown telling a story of centuries of exposure. This "Aylesbury Arch" was historically the entrance for the family from the nearby Jervaulx Hall. Through this ancient portal, the scene opens onto a vibrant, tranquil landscape. A lush green lawn stretches toward a line of dense, mature trees, their foliage displaying the deep greens of early autumn. Low metal fencing and a solitary wooden bench sit quietly in the middle ground, inviting quiet contemplation in this privately owned "secret garden". Dominating the upper half of the view is a brilliant blue sky, punctuated by a large, brilliantly white cumulus cloud that seems almost to mirror the jagged shape of the arch's top. The sharp contrast between the dark, heavy stone of the foreground and the luminous, airy landscape beyond creates a powerful sense of depth and timelessness. Founded in 1156, Jervaulx was once a powerful religious house famous for breeding horses and originating Wensleydale cheese. After being plundered during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, it was left to ruin. Today, the Burdon family manages the site, allowing over 180 varieties of wildflowers to flourish amidst the stone, maintaining an enchanting atmosphere of "unkempt beauty" that sets it apart from more manicured historical sites. This view encapsulates the romantic, peaceful essence of Jervaulx, where the grandeur of medieval architecture harmoniously meets the untamed beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

Ashford Castle in Co Mayo, Ireland, on a winter day. Access to the castle is via this bridge across the river. You arrive at the main entrance through the arch at the end. Looks very forbidding here, but it's the best I can do for today's #PalacesAndGardens #ThroughTheFrame.

A photograph of a bay window in Cardiff Castle topped with six stained glass figures. The window is split between three arches. Each arch contains a pair of regular windows at the bottom, two stained glass panels each with a full length figure, and a four petal flower shaped window to top it off. From left to right the six figures are the following three couples: Katherine Wydville (usually spelled Woodville) & Jasper Tudor, King Edward VII & Elizabeth of York, King Richard III & Anne Neville.

'Light and Shadow'

Skeletal branches appear to hold the setting sun in place over Holyrood Park.

Sparty 🔆

This image captures a serene sunset at Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. The composition is dominated by rows of deciduous trees, their bare, intricate branches creating a dense, dark lattice against the sky. The low-hanging sun is positioned centrally, radiating a warm, golden glow that filters through the web of twigs. This brilliant light source creates a stark contrast, silhouetting the primary trunks and casting elongated, dramatic shadows across the foreground. The ground in the lower third of the frame is a mix of shadowed grass and dark, weathered stones. These stones, mossy and irregular, add a grounded, textural element to the scene. A paved walking path cuts through the park, its surface reflecting the amber hues of the sunset. The path splits in the mid-ground, leading the eye deeper into the landscape. In the distance, the soft silhouettes of people can be seen—two figures on the left appear to be walking together, while others are further off, mere suggestions of life in the quiet park. Beyond the trees, the background reveals a glimpse of an open road with the distant shapes of parked cars and a soft, hazy horizon, all bathed in the same golden hour light. The overall mood is peaceful and autumnal, emphasising the transition from day to night. The photograph's colour palette is rich and moody, ranging from deep, near-black browns and greens in the shadows to vibrant oranges and yellows where the sunlight hits directly. The sky, visible through the upper branches, transitions from a pale, muted teal at the top to a bright, luminous white-gold at the horizon line. The play of light and shadow is the central theme, transforming a standard park setting into a dramatic, atmospheric scene. Every branch is etched clearly against the light, highlighting the stark beauty of nature in winter. The composition is balanced, with the verticality of the trees anchoring the frame while the radiating light and horizontal paths provide depth and movement.

So beautiful you forget the noise of the world, Castle Falkenlust, Germany.
“Come from the greedy mart, the troubled street,
And listen to the music, faint and sweet
That echoes ever to a listening ear,
Unheard by those who do not pause to hear..”L.M. Montgomery

I may have used this shot before but both Janet and I liked the photo taken of Churchill’s home Chartwell, framed through a door, leading into the walled garden.

A green wooden door stands ajar in a stone wall at the top of semi-circular steps. Beyond the door a path leads through a garden to Chartwell, an imposing mansion in Kent, near Westerham, that was once the home of Winston Churchill and his wife but is now run by the National Trust charity. The picture was taken on a sunny early September day and the blue sky features broken white cloud. Camera: iPhone 14 Pro Max
