I had just been hiking for two days down at Wilsons Promontory and decided to catch the sunset at Pillar Point before heading home. Two days before 140mm of rain had fallen creating many new creeks I had not seen before. I found this one on the way back to the car after photographing a spectacular sunset from Pillar Point. By the time I reached this spot the sun was long gone but this little rivulet caught my attention. It was so dark that a thirty second exposure was required but I loved how this heightened the blue of the sky reflected in the water while adding a slightly blurred effect to the clouds. Have had one poster sale on rb of this work. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society .

A piece I did for my BFA show coming up this Spring. This illustrates my character, Norman, and I on the grandest day … really a combination of all grand days. All colour pencil on masonite.

Last Saturday night I managed to score myself an off track permit to camp on Bad Saddle near Little Oberon at Wilsons Promontory. Got my slides back today and this is the first shot I’ve scanned in. The weather was a bit weird mostly wet dull and overcast except for two small breaks in the clouds. Each sun patch was accompanied seconds later by a windy drenching. The extra heat from the sun being enough to cause the clouds in nearby proximity to drop their bundles. I literally took the shot whipped the camera off the tripod (which seconds later blew over) and with my back to the golden gale tried to protect the camera from the elements under my coat. An amazing place to spend the night and quite literally a privilege to do so. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Taken just before my last post. Amazing evening in an amazing place. It was so dull and overcast at one stage I thought I’d set up my tent and cook my dinner before it got dark rather than spend it on the nearby knoll the light seemed so uninspiring. Glad I didn’t.

I watched this storm front get closer and closer, being accompanied by good light and a break in the clouds I waited on top of this exposed summit and was taken by surprise when it actually hit. One moment calm the next wind, sun and pelting rain with the extreme variance in light that you can see.

Carrickfergus castle has lots of peep holes nooks and crannies … and archers windows designed so that a wide angle of movement could be achieved to shoot arrows at enemy intruders …

I like the puddle of light in the centre, it has a warm welcoming glow, unlike the lady in the shop who told me off for taking photos without paying two pounds. I looked at her and sombrely said “im an orphan”. She left me alone i think she was a little scarred. A former Benedictine Abbey Church, consecrated in 1121, it is reputed to be the second largest parish church in England larger than fourteen cathedrals, and has the highest Norman tower in the country.

View from Pillar Point overlooking the main beach of Wilsons Promontory National Park – Victoria – Australia

This view is one I have dreamed about for years after seeing it in an article I found on-line. The picture is taken off the rarely visited Mt Norgate (419m) overlooking Oberon Bay, then Norman, Pillar, Leonard and Tongue Points before getting to Shellback Island at Wilsons Promontory. When down amongst these points the fact that they line up is impossible to percieve how they do line up when up here is a true wonder to behold. The difficulty in getting to this spot was staggeringly hard involving two days of hard bushbashing and dangerous sea level traverses to cover less than 10km. Part of the journey can be seen on this You Tube clip . Incidentally this clip was of one of the easier traverses on which no-one actually got (very)wet (was so preoccupied with me and my companions doing the other ones safely I forgot to get my camera out, doh). For more of the story of this trip check out the caption linked with my Anser Island from South-west Point pic below.

Found this Church on the way through Pevensey & Westham, East Sussex UK. We had already spent a little time at the castle, so did not get time to venture in. St Mary’s is reputed to be the first Norman church in England. Standing near the western gate of Pevensey Castle, the church originally belonged to a hospice and dates from about 1100. Externally, the only clue is on the south side, as a tower and north aisle were added in the early 15th century, and the chancel rebuilt. Aside from the lovely old church complete with Graveyard, the Blossom tree was such an amazing contrast to the Stone and dreary English day.

The organ pipes in St Mary’s Church, Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex, England. The earliest recorded use of the placename of Harrow on the Hill is found in 1398 as Harrowe atte Hille. Etymology before then derives from Harrow, which is first recorded in 767 as Hergae. Hergae, Herga or Hearg translates from Old English as (heathen) ‘Temple’. The hill has historically been used as a place of pagan worship. Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, began the construction of a church on this site in 1087. The new church building was consecrated by the new Archbishop, St Anselm, on 4th.January 1094 (a most appropriate date as, at the time, 25th December was a more pagan festival and Christians kept the feast of the Epiphany, Little Christmas or Old Christmas day [6th January] — as their principal feast of the birth of Christ). Consecration on the 4th would have made the church ready for the Christmas Mass. The difference between the two Christmas dates is where we get our ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ from. Little of the original building remains apart from the lower section of the tower. The Chancel, with its fine arch and lancet windows, had been constructed by the end of the 12th century and this was followed by the rebuilding of the nave and the addition of the two transcepts. The small room, still there at the top of the staircase, contains evidence of Norman work, traces of colour decoration on the roof beams and a carved niche. John Byrkhede, himself a master builder, was appointed Rector of St Mary’s in 1437, and died at Harrow in 1469. By 1450, the present clerestory windows, the nave and transcept roofs, in the chancel and the upper stages of the tower with its famous spire, had been constructed. The roofs of the nave and transcepts are reckoned to be the finest in Middlesex with over 300 carvings, while the spire is covered with 12 tons of lead. 400 years later, extensive restoration and renovation took place under Giles Gilbert Scott during the 1840s. A parapet was added to the nave and aisle roofs, the north wall of the chancel was pulled down to enlarge the building, the east walls were rebuilt, the church building faced with flint and a vestry added to the north side. This vestry was further enlarged about the turn of the present century. A proposal in 1893 to build an organ at the south side of the chancel was abandoned when three Norman windows were uncovered, still showing decoration on the splays. There are thirteen ancient brasses in the church, mostly badly mutilated. The cope, to be seen in the North transcept, was made for the 900th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone, and the embroidered designs on this were copied from the mutilated brass of John Byrkhede in the chancel. The brass to John Lyon, founder of Harrow School, and his wife Joan, is to be found on the walls of the nave near his grave by the lectern. It has an interesting inscription in English. The gravestone on the floor, with a Latin inscription, was laid in 1875 . Lord Byron was at Harrow School as a boy and his little daughter Allegra (by Clair Clairmont) is buried in an unmarked grave outside, very near to the south porch. The old door into the north porch used to be on the south side and was moved to its present position by Gilbert Scott for better protection. The 800 year old font of Purbeck marble was almost completely lost when it was replaced in about 1800. The original resided in a local garden for nearly fifty years before being repaired and returned to its rightful home. The chest in the north transcept, like the door and the font have been in use since 1200 — or even earlier. The pulpit is Jacobean, c.1657. A parishioner, Mr Tanner Arnold, presented it to St. Mary’s in 1708. The pulpit is a good example of 17th century woodcarving.

Created with free stock images from Deviantart.com and layered in photoshop CS3. This image was inspired by the a song called Sweet,Sweet Salvation by the late Larry Norman. Lyrics to Sweet Sweet Song Of Salvation : / When you know a pretty story / you don’t let it go unsaid / you tell it to your children / as you tuck them into bed / and when you know a wonderful secret / you tell it to your friends / because a lifetime filled with happiness / is like a street that never ends sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and let your laughter fill the air / sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and tell the people everywhere / sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / to every man and every nation / sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and let the people know that Jesus cares look around you as you sing it / there are people everywhere / and to those who stop and listen / this sweet song becomes a prayer / cause when you know a wonderful secret / you tell it to your friends / tell them that a lifetime filled with Jesus / is like a street that never ends sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and let your laughter fill the air / sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and tell the people everywhere sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / to every man and every nation / sing that sweet sweet song of salvation / and let the people know that Jesus cares /

/ This image was nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward group. / The redbubble member who nominated it was Andreisky and this is why he nominated me & this image - ”because he’s doing some sort of magic which I can’t. And he also writes so many interesting things…” According to tradition the abbey was first founded in 616 on the present site, then known as Thorn Ey (Thorn Island); based on a late ‘tradition’ that a fisherman called ‘Aldrich’ on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the presents of salmon from the Thames fishermen that the Abbey received in later years. The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, planted a community of Benedictine monks here. A stone Abbey was built around 1045–1050 by King Edward the Confessor as part of his palace there: it was consecrated on December 28, 1065, only a week before the Confessor’s death and subsequent funeral and burial. It was the site of the last coronation prior to the Norman Invasion, that of his successor King Harold. It was later rebuilt by Henry III from 1245, who had selected the site for his burial. The Abbey became the coronation site of Norman kings, but none were buried there until Henry III, intensely devoted to the cult of the Confessor, rebuilt the Abbey in Anglo-French Gothic style as a shrine to honour St Edward the Confessor and as a suitably regal setting for Henry’s own tomb, under the highest Gothic nave in England. The Confessor’s shrine subsequently played a great part in his canonisation. The work continued between 1245-1517 and was largely finished by the architect Henry Yevele in the reign of King Richard II. Henry VII added a Perpendicular style chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1503 (known as the Henry VII Chapel). Much of the stone came from Caen, in France (Caen stone), the Isle of Portland (Portland stone) and the Loire Valley region of France (tuffeau limestone). In 1535, the Abbey’s annual income of £2400-2800 during the assessment attendant on the Dissolution of the Monasteries rendered it second in wealth only to Glastonbury Abbey. Henry VIII had assumed direct royal control in 1539 and granted the Abbey cathedral status by charter in 1540, simultaneously issuing letters patent establishing the Diocese of Westminster. By granting the Abbey cathedral status Henry VIII gained an excuse to spare it from the destruction or dissolution which he inflicted on most English abbeys during this period. Westminster was a cathedral only until 1550. The expression “robbing Peter to pay Paul” may arise from this period when money meant for the Abbey, which was dedicated to St Peter, was diverted to the treasury of St Paul’s Cathedral. The Abbey was restored to the Benedictines under the Catholic Queen Mary, but they were again ejected under Queen Elizabeth I in 1559. In 1579, Elizabeth re-established Westminster as a “Royal Peculiar”—a church responsible directly to the sovereign, rather than to a diocesan bishop—and made it the Collegiate Church of St Peter, (that is a church with an attached chapter of canons, headed by a dean). The last Abbot was made the first Dean. It suffered damage during the turbulent 1640s, when it was attacked by Puritan iconoclasts, but was again protected by its close ties to the state during the Commonwealth period. Oliver Cromwell was given an elaborate funeral there in 1658, only to be disinterred in January 1661 and posthumously hanged from a nearby gibbet. The abbey’s two western towers were built between 1722 and 1745 by Nicholas Hawksmoor, constructed from Portland stone to an early example of a Gothic Revival design. Further rebuilding and restoration occurred in the 19th century under Sir George Gilbert Scott. A narthex for the west front was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 20th century but was not executed. Until the 19th century, Westminster was the third seat of learning in England, after Oxford and Cambridge. It was here that the first third of the King James Bible Old Testament and the last half of the New Testament were translated. The New English Bible was also put together here in the 20th century. Westminster suffered minor damage during the Blitz on November 15, 1940.

Durham Castle viewed from Old Elvet. Durham Castle is the ancient palace of the Prince Bishops of Durham and lies at the northern end of Palace Green opposite the cathedral. It is situated on the site of a fortress built to the orders of William the Conqueror on his return from Scotland in 1072. Waltheof, the Saxon Earl of Northumberland undertook the work of building the castle for William but over the years a succession of Prince Bishops have added important sections to the great building. The present castle is dominated by the KEEP which although the most imposing part of the castle is in fact the least historic. In the tradition of the Norman Motte and Bailey castles the keep is situated on a mound and was first erected in the fourteenth century during the episcopacy of BISHOP THOMAS HATFIELD. Over the centuries the keep fell into a ruinous state but was rebuilt in the 1840s as a sleeping quarters for students when the castle became Durham’s UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. The older and greater part of the castle is situated around a courtyard to the west of the keep. The courtyard is entered from the GATEHOUSE near to the site of the castle moat. The moat was crossed by means of a draw bridge just outside the Gatehouse. Primarily the work of Bishop Pudsey (1153-1195), the Gatehouse underwent some alterations during the episcopacies of Bishop Tunstal (1530-1559) and Bishop Shute Barrington (1791-1826).

Taken on February 28, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340. I know, there are probably many images of the Gherkin here already. But for myself who is not British, it was really exciting to get close to it. London is rich in history, but meanwhile you can also see a lot of modern architecture being developed and taking over; and we’re also moving towards building up, so our tall skyscrapers over shadow history in place and time. Here the Gherkin already looks much taller than the old buidlings in front. But for a better idea of scale (sound familiar? :P)... As you can see, one glass diamond is already about the height of a person.
