La iglesia de Santa MarÃa La Mayor de Villacantid constituye un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura religiosa de estilo románico en el sur de Cantabria. el estilo de los templos de Cervatos, Elines y Retortillo, además recibe la influencia del románico del norte de la provincia de Palencia.
Es un extraño ejemplar, un templo "contorsionista", que se ha doblado sobre si hasta unir la portada con el ábside. Este extraño aspecto, es producto de las reformas sufridas en el s.XVII.
Parece que, avanzado el s.XIII, se eliminó la nave única, románica, y en su lugar se proyectaron tres naves, aunque se conservó la cabecera. Se alzó la nave norte, pero la sur quedó inconclusa, hasta que al comienzo del s.XVII se reformó la nave del evangelio y se añadió la parte inacabada de la epÃstola, en cuyo muro de levante se recolocó, pegada al ábside, la portada románica que antes estaba al costado meridional.
El resultado es un ejemplar único.
Just after sun rise, after a clear night, with mist forming across the autumn countryside. Looking East from Bringsty Common, near Bromyard, in Herefordshire.
There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.
Brimstone Butterfly - Gonepteryx rhamni
Knapweed - Centaurea nigra
Seen here feeding on Knapweed at the side of the River Dove at Milldale, Staffordshire Peak District. This is the closest I've managed to get to one of these beauties...the rest of the time they've just flown past me at a 100 mph!!! I think this is a male due to the rich yellow.
INFO.
A fairly large, pale yellow butterfly, Brimstone adults hibernate through cold weather, so may be seen flying on warm days throughout the year, although they are most common in the spring.
Family: Whites and Yellows
Size: Large
Wing Span Range (male to female): 60mm
I'm just addicted to mother nature and wildflowers, thank goodness there is no cure :))

Schloss Brake near Lemgo is a castle built in the style of the Weserrenaissance. We used the second advent weekend for a visit to attend an interesting exhibition about historic maps and navigation.
La Cascade de Saint Herbot
La rivière Ellez et son chaos qui forment cette cascade. Non loin d'Huegoat, un autre site remarquable, tout deux très représentatifs du centre Finistère et de sa nature majestueuse.

La ruta de los molinos de Bimenes - Asturias
Se trata de una sencilla ruta de sedentarismo en la que a lo largo de unos 5 km en total podremos disfrutar del bonito paisaje de la zona, con sus molinos, sus pequeñas cascadas y el bosque autóctono asturiano. Al ser bastante fácil es muy recomendable en caso de que la hagáis con niños o no esteÃs muy acostumbrados a caminar.
Espero que esta escena y foto también sea de vuestro agrado

Amsterdam, Noord – Voormalig kraanspoor; langs deze 270 meter lange constructie van gewapend beton werden vorige eeuw mammoettankers van de Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) afgebouwd. Architect Trude Hooykaas redde het eind jaren negentig van de sloop, met haar ontwerp voor het transparante gebouw dat nu drie meter boven het oorspronkelijke Kraanspoor lijkt te zweven.
AMSTERDAM, Noord – former craineway; along the 270 metres long construction of reinforced concrete were last century supertankers of the Dutch dock and shipbuilding company (NDSM) phased out. Architect Trude Hooykaas saved the late nineties of the demolition, with her design for the transparent building that now three metres above the original craineway seems to float.
Recently mother nature has changed the landscape here. lately I've been reminiscing from a weekend trip i did earlier in the year such a beautiful and amazing place. See more photos of that trip on my facebook page.
Another 2-day weekend trip.
