Landscape by Stuart Thorpe

You know how it is.How often have you driven along a motorway, no chance to stop, and some fantastic image is just begging to be photographed…this time I was lucky. I saw the sun moving over the fields right before an exit. I had just time to fire off a few shots before it was gone. We all need a break sometimes. / I AM PROUD TO HAVE THIS FEATURED IN ‘PENTAX’ / PENTAX LX 50mm 1.7 EKTACHROME 100 POLARISED /

1984 Vezelay Nave to Apse by FailingMemory

One of the French heroes Girart de Roussilon founded an abbey at Vezelay at the river Crure crossing on the pilgrimage route to Compostela . In the early C9 the Vikings raided Vezelay and destroyed the abbey. The monks then took over the church at Vezelay St Père and used it as their base. In 878 a new abbey foundation was consecrated in what is now known as Vezelay on the top of a hill, rather than at a crossing of a river. Unfortunately the townspeople were not anxious to move . It was not until another Viking raid in 927 that work was restarted in 1050 to rebuild on the hill. because of loss of interest it was not completed until 1455. / You come from a dark narthex to a middle brightness nave which in the distance has a brilliant apse. It was meant to convey the thought that christianity is a movement from darkness to light. / People have mostly disappeared from the picture because it was of about 1 minute. Taken with Pentax LX and 28 mm shift lens on Kodachrome film.

The central part of the tympanum is also on the outside of the cathedral, but is copy. It was thought necessary to protect the original under cover. The main nave can be seen through th doorway. / Because of low light levels and an exposure of about 2 minutes the colour as taken was not good. It is therefore shown as B&W

In the C16 the church in the lower town became the parish church of St Père. / In travelling through France we came across a very similar entombment in several churches, but they were not in a positon wher I could photograph them. This one at the side of the nave of St Père was so similar to others in design and colour that I must assume it was from the same ‘factory’, It was supposed to be C15 work in tradition of Claus Sluter who began in Dijon at end of C14. / This was taken by electronic flash on a Pentax LX camera on Kodachrome film.

This one in a set called the Four seasons shows the killing of beasts for food. It was interesting in that the beast is being knocked out by being hit on the head by the back of an axe so that it can be humanely killed. / Taken with Pentax LX camera on Kodachrome film.

1984 Semur en Auxois Apse Notre Dame by FailingMemory

This church founded in C11 has been rebuilt or modified in C13, C14, C15, and C16. Viollet-le-Duc was the last person to do restoration. There is an ambulatory around the apse with 3 rayonet chapels which are not very visible in this shot. / Around the apse are heads of people at the tops of columns of the middle level. / We arrived just before the church shut for the lunch recess, which meant that to reach our nights destination we were not able to decently explore the building. Taken with Pentax LX and 28 mm shift lens on Kodachrome film.
