I looked up and from my viewpoint it seemed like this church just seemed to go on for ever into this cloudless blue sky.

The ruins of St John’s Church in Chester. I love the way it frames the tree. The foundation of the church can be traced back to Saxon times. When in 689 AD King Ethelred (675 – 704) of the Mercians visited Chester and was told by God in a vision to ‘build a Church on the spot where he should find a white hind’. Or so the story goes. The church was built of local red sandstone on a small cliff over looking the River Dee. The Church was shortened and the three east end chapels were left in ruin after the church lost its collegiate status at the time of the Dissolution.

On the South side of St. Levans Church is a rock known as the St. Levan Stone. In pre- Christian times, the stone was venerated for its powers and in particular in connection with fertility rites. The pagan use was neutralized by the erection of the tall cross nigh on seven feet high nearby the Stone. It is split in two and it was said that St. Levan sat upon this rock when tired from fishing. Wishing to leave a memento of himself in connection with his rude but favourite seat, one day, he gave it a blow with his staff and cracked it through. He prayed over the rock and uttered the following prophecy. When with panniers astride, / A Pack Horse can ride, / Through the St. Levan’s Stone, / The world will be done. A personal observation from me would be that anyone breeding miniature horses please don’t let them loose in St. Levan’s church graveyard. The Church is just past the famous Minack open air theatre which is built into the cliffside on the West Cornwall south coast. http://www.minack.com/

Church on Le mont Saint Michel. Trying to capture as much as possible of the structure but there is a limit to one’s lens capacitiy… Mont Saint-Michel (English: St Michael’s Mount) is a rocky tidal island in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometer off the country’s north coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. / Mont Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. Thus, Mont Saint-Michel has been compromised by several developments. Over the centuries, the coastal flats have been polderised to create pasture. Thus the distance between the shore and the south coast of Mont-Saint-Michel has decreased. The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay. In 1879, the land bridge was fortified into a true causeway. This prevented the tide from scouring the silt round the mount. On 16 June 2006, the French prime minister and regional authorities announced a €164 million project (Projet Mont-Saint-Michel) to build a hydraulic dam that will help remove the accumulated silt and make Mont Saint-Michel an island again. It is expected to be completed by 2012. Mont Saint-Michel was used in the sixth and seventh centuries as an Armorican stronghold of Romano-Breton culture and power, until it was ransacked by the Franks, thus ending the trans-channel culture that had stood since the departure of the Romans in AD 460. Before the construction of the first monastic establishment in the 8th century, the island was called Mont Tombe. According to legend, the archangel Michael appeared to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, in 708 and instructed him to build a church on the rocky islet. Aubert repeatedly ignored the angel’s instruction, until Michael burned a hole in the bishop’s skull with his finger. The mount gained strategic significance in 933 when William “Long Sword”, William I, Duke of Normandy, annexed the Cotentin Peninsula, definitively placing the mount in Normandy. It is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, which commemorates the 1066 Norman conquest of England. Ducal patronage financed the spectacular Norman architecture of the abbey in subsequent centuries. In 1067, the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel gave its support to duke William of Normandy in his claim to the throne of England. It was rewarded with properties and grounds on the English side of the Channel, including a small island located at the west of Cornwall, which, modelled after the Mount, became a Norman priory named St Michael’s Mount of Penzance. During the Hundred Years’ War the English made repeated assaults on the island but were unable to seize it, partly because of the abbey’s improved fortifications. Les Michelettes, two wrought-iron bombards left by the English in their failed 1423–24 siege of Mont Saint-Michel, are still displayed near the outer defense wall. The wealth and influence of the abbey extended to many daughter foundations, including St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. However, its popularity and prestige as a centre of pilgrimage waned with the Reformation, and by the time of the French Revolution there were scarcely any monks in residence. The abbey was closed and converted into a prison, initially to hold clerical opponents of the republican régime. High-profile political prisoners followed, but by 1836 influential figures, including Victor Hugo, had launched a campaign to restore what was seen as a national architectural treasure. The prison was finally closed in 1863, and the mount was declared a historic monument in 1874. The Mont Saint-Michel and its bay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979, as they rank very high on such World Heritage Site criteria as cultural, historical, and architectural significance, as well as human-created and natural beauty. / / Have a look at my other photos.

Taken in the village of Wallendbeen (between Harden and Cootamundra – NSW, Australia – on a recent trip … sadly these once well-used ‘family’ churches are now more likely to be used to store hay or stock feed than to be frequented for Sunday services. This is an HDR produced from a single jpeg (handheld) in Photomatix, then treated in CS3 to give a light sepia look – I tried not to produce an exact replica of Gail’s wonderful shot of the same building!

This church is in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. I believe it is called Saint Matthew’s. It was built by Sarah M. Packer in 1881 in memory of her husband Asa Packer.
