Glastonbury Tor rises high above the Somerset levels.
This was one of the alcohol tents at Glastonbury 2007. It poured down with rain and was very muddy for most of the event (as usual!) making it a bit of a nightmare taking photos. I got this shot whilst having a beer with my mates in the warm and dry! / / / / / / / Add dave7j to your watchlist »

Legend has it that this is the final resting place of King Arthur…
For the Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings Group / / Glastonbury Abbey / / For centuries travellers and pilgrims have visited the sacred site of Glastonbury Abbey situated in the heart of the town of Glastonbury (of the famous rock festival) in the beautiful county of Somerset. Traditionally it was the seat of Christianity in England and is steeped in legend and myth. / / It is believed by some, that the grave of King Arthur is within the grounds, and that Joseph of Arimathea once visited, his staff becoming the Holy Thorn that grows there, and which flowers twice a year. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / / Do check out Marylee Martin’s growing portfolio / / / /
Glastonbury Tor / / If Glastonbury Abbey is surounded by myth and legend, then Glastonbury Tor is moreso. / / In early-medieval times there was a small monks’ retreat on top of the Tor, founded probably in the time of St Patrick in the mid-400s. This was followed in the early 1100s by a chapel, St Michael de Torre. This was destroyed in a powerful earthquake in 1275 and rebuilt in the early 1300s. The tower is all that remains today. / / The myths associated with the Tor are wide ranging. Is it a magic mountain, a faeries’ glass hill, a spiral castle, a Grail castle, an Arthurian hill-fort, a magnetic power-point, a crossroads of leys or even a converging point for UFOs? / / Even in the 21st Century, these myths are still very active, not surprisingly, as the Tor is some 500 feet high and a most striking landmark. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / / Do check out LauraO’s growing portfolio / / / /

Only the ruined tower is standing / on top of the Glastonbury Tor / A very windy place!
For a long time now i’ve been trying to think of a way of adding an image based around hares, These wonderful animals i rember from growing up on a farm, dashing round the feilds at dawn when the mist makes everything seem magical. / But i wanted to produce an image which was more than a hare stairing at the moon, so i hope you like the finished work with the horned god watching over them as they dance in the shadow of Glastonbury Tor.
This is the top of Glastonbury Tor. There are many legends associated with the tor. Prominent among them, in the Arthurian legends, Glastonbury Tor is often considered to be part of Avalon. In ancient times, the tor would have been an island in a marshy land, but it was later drained and now the Tor rises out of the village of modern day Glastonbury. The tower on the top is the remains of a 14th century church that was destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. The tower is all that remains of that church and was restored in modern times.

At last i’ve finished the colouring to the grail, challace image i’ve been working on, and i’m keeping my fingers crossed that i can get the challage well gardens to stock the image into there shop. / Now that i’ve added the colour it is easyer to see how the pitcher is made up. Around the grail i have added a maze, this represent the maze of life and that journey that all of us are on, with all its countless turns and mistakes that make us who we are. And in many ways each of us is on our own Grail Quest. / Around this i have added a knotwork patten this represents the two springs that run through Glastonbury. The red spring runs through the challace gardens where the Grail turns it red as it passes through it or so the ledgend goes. this spring is also full of iron and like so many others i’ve used it to clense crystals and other bits and bobs. The other spring is the White Spring which flows under the Tor and then come out across the road from the red spring. Currently the white spring is being added two and the room where the waters flow through is amazing to behold. / below the central design i have included the design of the challage well which is forged of iron and protects the well with in the challage gardens. / Whilst above i have added the cressent moon holding a pentagram, this symbol is a sign of protection as well as the pagan path, whilst the moon represents Diana and Isis two of the goddess that are worshiped with in Glastonburys Goddess temple, I hope you like it and i’m looking forward to seeing what you all think, Love and light to All Cherrie
