I took this image of Buckfast Abbey, Devon, last week as a follow on from the previous one that was taken in Midsummer,. A different composition and I liked the shadow play on the abbey from the lateral October sunlight. This one was taken with my Nikon D300 whereas the previous one was with my older Nikon D100 and the level of detail captured in the architecture is vastly improved, a perspective crop to correct converging verticals and an appropriate amount of USM, otherwise straight from camera.

Lislaughtin Abbey sits in an inlet of the Shannon estuary in North Kerry, Southern Ireland, historically O’Connor country. construction began in 1464, thirteen years later it was dedicated by indult of Pope Sixtus IV. In 1580 English forces moved vengefully through this area and laid siege to Carrigafoyle Castle close by, killing the defenders. They then went to Lislaughtin and all but 3 of the priests fled. Three elderly priests took refuge in the sanctuary of the Abbey. They were killed by the English soldiers and the Abbey was looted. The plaque outside the Abbey recalls the martyrdom of these men and records their names – Philip O’Shea, Maurice O’Scanlon and Donagh O’Hanrahan.

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speeds of 2.5, 0.6, 1/10 second, ISO100, processed in Photomatox and tweaked in Photoshop I took this shot a few months ago, I have looked at it several times, sometimes I like it sometimes I don’t…today I thought publish and be damned…I am happy to receive any citiques!! The Anglican church of St Mary’s was the religious masterpiece of architect William Burges whose Gothic designs clearly verged on the late 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement. / / The church of St. Mary’s was commissioned in 1870 by the first Marquess and Marchioness of Ripon to commemorate the Marchioness’ brother who had been murdered in Greece. / / The Marquess, who had succeeded to the estate in 1859, was a successful politician and Viceroy of India in 1880-1884. A deeply religious man, he disliked Renaissance architecture and looked back with nostalgia to what he saw as the more humanitarian caring Middle Ages. / / Designed by William Burges in the Victorian Gothic style, St Mary’s has a highly decorated interior characteristic of the Anglo-Catholic religious sentiments of the Victorian period.

Visit the church and do not miss the garden that offers breath-taking views of the sea from above – also because of its hidden terraces and panoramic benches, perfect for romantics. Legend has it that this picturesque little town was originally founded by Hercules, therefore the port is called a Hercules Port. The name Tropea dates back to the V Century after Christ and suffered for several hundred years under the constant attacks of the Saracens. / From the Norman era and on, the independent town of Tropea became the popular nest of noble families who constructed their luscious palaces on the spectacular cliff above the sea. The narrow streets of Tropea, the ancient noble palaces and the whiteness of the beaches below in contrast with the deep blu sea are an extraordinary experience for the senses. The town has almost completely preserved its 16th century planning. / Admire the “Porta Nuova”, the opening above the sea of piazza Galluppi with the savage cliff precipitating into the white beach stretching below.At a short distance there is another cliff, on which is erected the sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola.

A place I really, really love. Fountains Abbey is near to Aldfield, approximately two miles southwest of Ripon in North Yorkshire, England. / It is a Grade I listed building and owned by the National Trust. Along with the adjacent Studley Royal Water Garden, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fountains Abbey was founded in 1132 following a dispute and riot at St Mary’s Abbey in York. Following the riot, thirteen monks were exiled and after unsuccessfully attempting to return to the early 6th century Rule of St Benedict, were taken into the protection of Thurstan, Archbishop of York. He provided them with a site in the valley of the River Skell. / The enclosed valley had all the required materials for the creation of a monastery, providing shelter from the weather, stone and timber for building, and a running supply of water. The monks applied to join the Cistercian order in 1132. The abbey operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII. ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The Abbey buildings and over 500 acres of land were then sold by the Crown, on 1 October 1540, to Sir Richard Gresham, the London merchant, father of the founder of the Royal Exchange, Sir Thomas Gresham. / From Wikipedia From film

The historical building Baracca Faggioni bears the name of the age-old family of “masters of the axe” it belonged to. It is due to be opened to show the ancient skill of building wooden boats and to commemorate traditional seafaring activities. / On the point closing in the bay in the direction of the next village of Fezzano, the vast air force base has kept a part of “Luigi Conti” airport that was built in 1926 as a seaplane base, corresponding to the Muggiano seaplane base on the other side of the Gulf. The Gulf of La Spezia was one of the most active seaplane bases in Italy in the 20’s and 30’s of the last century and was the scene of many actions. Italo Balbo’s study is still intact in the Cadimare structure; amongst others he planned and commanded the first Atlantic crossing in 1931. Two years afterwards when Balbo himself led twenty-five seaplanes as far as Chicago and New York, Marinetti the futurist poet who was very fond of La Spezia invented the “Golfo della Spezia” painting award, at the same time launching a challenge to all poets inviting them to celebrate this place and he himself wrote Aeropoem to the Gulf of La Spezia where the main character leaves with his seaplane exactly from Cadimare airport.

It has been said that the name refers to a temple to the goddess Venus which was sited on the promontory where the church of Peter the Apostle now stands. The name has also been linked to that of the hermit Saint Venerius. In Roman times the city was essentially a fishing community After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Portovenere became the base of the Byzantine fleet in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea, but was destroyed by the Lombards in 643 CE. Later, it was a frequent target of Saracen raids. First indications of the existence of a castle date from 1113, and in 1161 the walls were erected. Portovenere became a fiefdom of a family from Vezzano before passing to Genoa in the early twelfth century. In 1494, it suffered a devastating bombardment from the Aragonese fleet during their war with Genoa: subsequently the old part of the town declined in importance, giving way to the development of the Borgo Nuovo (“New District”), which had existed from 1139 and is centred on the church of St. Peter.

Those last few minutes as the sun was going down at York Abbey in York, Yorkshire, during Donna and my meet up with Richard, Steve S and Lesley G, what a memorable day it was too… / Info on the Abbey from Wikipedia : / The Abbey of St Mary in York, England, is a ruined Benedictine abbey that lies in what are now the Yorkshire Museum Gardens, to the west of York Minster. The original abbey on the site was founded in 1055 and dedicated to Saint Olave. It was refounded by William II in 1088 who laid the foundation stone of the Norman church, although this church no longer remains. Following a dispute and riot in 1132, a party of reform-minded monks left to establish the Cistercian monastery of Fountains Abbey. The surviving ruins date back to the rebuilding programme begun in 1271 and finished by 1294. / The abbots of St Mary’s were said to be very worldly and the abbey featured heavily in the early medieval ballads of Robin Hood (with the abbot usually as Robin Hood’s nemesis). / St Mary’s was once the largest and richest Benedictine establishment in the north of England and the abbey was one of the largest landholders in Yorkshire. However, in 1539, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, it was closed and subsequently substantially destroyed. All that remains today are the north and west walls, plus a few other remnants: the Pilgrims’ Hospitium, the West Gate and the 14th-century timber-framed Abbot’s House (now called the King’s Manor). The walls include interval towers along the north and west stretches, St Mary’s Tower at the northwest corner and a polygonal water tower by the river. Excavated finds and architectural features, particularly relating to the warming house and late twelfth century chapter house, are displayed in the nearby Yorkshire Museum. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 18-70mm lens /
