Port Arthur. A place with a history of violence both recent and centuries past. Why should it be then that I feel so at home here? Countless restless souls both innocent and guilty surely prowl the grounds and should create a miasma of misery that is palpable and yet… whenever I step inside the walls of this old church I feel an overwhelming sense of peace permeate my very soul. Welcome to my sanctuary. Best viewed large

I have often passed this beautiful cemetery and on this particular day decided to stop for a few minutes. Those few minutes turned into approximately 120 minutes and as a result i got this image. I hope you like it.

This old kirk and graveyard lay just behind the beach and little river that runs into Gruinard Bay … I presume it is the original church for the village of Laide.

On the junction of no less than five roads, I would imagine this little church at Wauraltee would have been quite picturesque in it hay day. Now just used as shelter for cattle and sheep and left to ruin in the middle of the paddock.

The castle is located in what was once the very volatile border area between England and Scotland. Not only did the English and Scots fight, but the area was frequently attacked by Vikings. The castle was built in 1550, around the time that Lindisfarne Priory went out of use, and stones from the priory were used as building material. It is very small by the usual standards, and was more of a fort. The castle sits on the highest point of the island, a whin stone hill called Beblowe. It can be located in Northumberland,on Holy Island. England.

Old Sheldon Church, is a historic ruin located in Garden Corner, SC The majestic outline of the old Sheldon Church stands deep in the forest and has lain in ruin for more than 120 years. Its One of the first Greek-Revival structures built in the United States, Prince William’s Parish Church, erected 1745-55, was once one of the most impressive churches in the Province. During the Revolution, the Patriots are believed to have stored gun powder in it. In 1779, when the British General Augustine Prevost invaded the Lowcountry, the church was burned by a detachment which according to tradition, was commanded by the flamboyant local Tory, Andrew Deveaux. Rebuilt in 1826, the church was again burned by Sherman’s men in 1865. The ruins are nevertheless a picturesque site from which the visitor can visualize the grandeur of the pre-Revolutionary church.

By far the most famous fictional ghost ship is The Flying Dutchman. The ship has become synonymous with the phenomenon so that “Flying Dutchman” is often used as a generic term for any apparition-type ghost ship. The term may also refer to a real ship that was reported to be seen – often as an apparition – after sinking, or to a ship found floating with no crewmembers on board. According to folklore, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never go home, but must sail “the seven seas” forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes glowing with ghostly light. If she is hailed by another ship, her crew will often try to send messages to land, to people long since dead. / Versions of the story are numerous. According to some, the story is originally Dutch, while others claim it is based on the English play The Flying Dutchman (1826) by Edward Fitzball and the novel The Phantom Ship (1837) by Frederick Marryat, later adapted into the Dutch story Het Vliegend Schip (The Flying Ship) by the Dutch clergyman A.H.C. Römer. Other versions include the opera by Richard Wagner (1841) and The Flying Dutchman on Tappan Sea by Washington Irving (1855).

The vaulted ceilings of Tintern Abbey in South Wales are no longer there, but the glorious skeleton remains. As you travel down Tintern Valley, when you come around the bend and spy the Abbey, it takes your breath away and you can see why Wordsworth had so much to say about it.

This ruined chapel seems to be gently & peacefully becoming one with the hillside high above Tintern Abbey. I have visited this spot so many times & yet never noticed it before, a welcome reminder for me to look at more than what is right in front of me…........

The Ruined Nave of Dunkeld Cathedral in the small town of Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. Dunkeld Cathedral is a building of two very distinct halves. Its east end is a rather attractive parish church; its west end, apart from the bell tower and chapter house, a roofless ruin with a grassy carpet. The chapter house, under the bell tower at the west end of the Cathedral contains a museum with a graphic display outlining the history of the church and its community from Celtic times to the present day. Other interesting exhibits include the Apostles’ Stone, a fine 9th Century example of Pictish art, the Cross Slab from the 9th Century monastery, the Old Bell, removed during the 1975 restoration and marble statues of the 4th Duke of Atholl and Sir Donald Currie the 1908 restoration benefactor. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at Highland Scotland.
