Archaeological excavations demonstrate a continuity of life in Calnic (judet Alba), starting with the Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements, the Dacian and Roman remains, or from the period of migration to the Middle Ages.
The name of the city, mentioned for the first time in 1269 (villa Kelnuk) is of Slavic-Romanian origin. The name of the place was taken over by the Saxons (Kelling) and the Hungarians (Kelnek).
The Romanesque fortress of Calnic is an old noble residence, which by its small size cannot compete with those of the big cities, but which is considered as very representative of a local civilization, transylvaine and a particular time.
The fortress consists of two rows of walls (enclosures) with an oval path, arranged concentric and reinforced with flanking elements: two towers and a bastion. The front door is defended by a fortified corridor. The belts protect the interior courtyard, at the heart of the fortress, where the chapel, the fountain and the dungeon are located. The latter dominates by its height (27m) and its massiveness (walls of 1m) the whole complex. During the romantic era, this impressive medieval vestige was nicknamed the Siegfried Tower.
The outer enclosure or zwinger has a maximum diameter of around 70 m with a height of 3 m. The inner enclosure is the most imposing with its 7m height. On the small diameter, it is fortified by two towers: the portal tower (NW) and a defense tower (SE). 24 m high, the portal tower is one of the vertical domes of the complex. There are four bells here, which is why the building is also called the bell tower.
Due to its preservation in good condition, in the middle of a locality bearing until now the imprint of the civilization of the German colonists established in Transylvania, the edifice was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List (1999).
Park Tower (formerly known as the Lykes Building) is a skyscraper located in downtown Tampa, Florida. It is Tampa's first high-rise tower. At the time of its completion in November 1973, it was the tallest in Florida, and is currently sixth-tallest in Tampa, at 458 feet (36 stories). It was the tallest building in Tampa until One Tampa City Center was built in 1981.
Park Tower is located in the heart of downtown Tampa directly across from The Tampa Riverwalk & Hillsborough River; Curtis Hixon and Gaslight Parks; the Glazer Children's Museum and the Tampa Museum of Art. It is within walking distance of the Tampa Convention Center, University of Tampa, and the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts.
In 2016 the tower was purchased by a joint venture consisting of affiliates of NYSE listed City Office REIT (NYSE: CIO), Feldman Equities LLC, and Tower Realty Partners for $79.75 million. The group completed a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2019. The most significant change at Park Tower is the modernization of the office building's façade by painting the exterior a lighter color and upgrading the main entrance. The building's amenities were upgraded with a modern lobby and the addition of Buddy Brew Coffee café. The office tower's updated design was created by internationally renowned architect Gensler.
Since acquiring the property, new leases have been signed including the headquarters relocation of CAPTRUST Advisors, LLC, Buddy Brew Coffee and Continuity Logic, LLC. Anchor tenants include BB&T, United States Department of Justice – US Attorney's Office, Level 3 Communications, and Lykes Insurance.
Park Tower is LEED EB Gold Certified and EPA Energy Star certified.
The tower's amenities include FedEx Office, U.S. Post Office, BB&T Bank, Grow Financial Credit Union, Pearl Salon, Nature's Table Café, a fitness center, conference room and a 6th-floor tenant lounge, lobby concierge and Buddy Brew Coffee.
Park Tower is the "Telco-Hotel" for the region, with a major telephony and internet presence.

So with the centuries old tradition of today’s proclamation of King Charles III the mantle is passed. Incidentally, as I understand it, the flags are to be raised today in celebration of the new king, returning to half mast again to mourn Queen Elizabeth II.

No. The photo was taken (not by me) in the summer of 1965 in West-Germany. Is this then a kind of re-enactment of a World War II scenario? Again, no. This is personal, and the man in uniform is me. This is the story: when I was drafted (conscripted to military service) - something I seriously disliked, I chose an alternative route open to me at the time, namely joining the police force for 18 months. The field uniform is that of the Federal Border Guard (Bundesgrenzschutz). I knew that it too was somewhat militarised, but I was shocked to find that parts of the equipment, the helmets for example, were still WWII material - some even with engraved swastikas. Worse, among the marching songs were some suspiciously close to Nazi hymnology. At that time, the Federal Border Guard had not yet arrived in the West, so to speak. There was too much continuity with the past. However, the fact that I did not fit in became a trigger for me, later on as a scholar, to explore that dark period of the European past.

Dans un petit coin d'humus, deux petits escargots (+/- 5mm) se livraient à un curieux rituel orchestré par la Nature. Une danse étrange : en un glissement rotatif synchronisé, leurs deux corps entremêlés s'échangeaient leur capital génétique dans le but de permettre la continuité de l'espèce. Le plus étrange, c'est que les deux se fécondent et les deux porteront les œufs, fruit de leur union.

In a small corner of humus, two little snails (+/- 5mm) were engaged in a curious ritual orchestrated by Nature. A strange dance: in a synchronized rotating slide, their two bodies interwoven exchanged their genetic capital in order to allow the continuity of the species. The strangest thing is that both of them fertilize each other and they will bear the eggs, fruit of their union.

This was a real photo, but I worked it in a program for the "manner of Klimt"
For Continuity Two group ***Horns***
Beginning in the late 1950’s, real estate developers began to purchase numerous properties in the Yorkville section of New York’s Upper East Side. Older multi- family residences built in the late 19th or early 20th century were torn down and replaced with block after block of large high-rise apartment buildings, completely transforming the neighborhood both visually and demographically. The buildings at the center of this image look back to the older Yorkville, when it was home to a large working class community with heavy concentrations of German, Irish and Central European immigrants. The glass tower in the background contains multi-million dollar condominium residences for the upper middle class and the wealthy who today make Yorkville their home. The buildings on the left with the boarded up windows will be demolished this spring and will be replaced with yet another high end residence. In its small way, my photograph testifies to both the change and the continuity that is characteristic not only of Yorkville but of many urban neighborhoods that are perpetually in transition, never standing still for very long
In October 1981, flying tiger ancient human remains from Guizhou Provincial Museum trial excavation, the accumulation of complex, broadly divided into early and late phases. Early formation of yellow or grayish yellow, unearthed panda, Stegodon fossils, stone products are made for the late Paleolithic culture era. Advanced formation is black, black, unearthed animal genetic pulp for extant species, and human mandibular and chipped stone, grinding stone, grinding bone, pottery and other large, geological time for the Holocene, culture in the age of the Neolithic age, that about 4000 years ago to 6000 years.
Unearthed stone products made a total of 532 pieces of raw materials, mainly to flint stone, there is, nuclear, stone etc.. The stone to stone, with the forward direction of processing processing, types of hit device, a scraper, tip like device and dolabriform etc.. The scraper accounted for 76%, tip like device is small but fine processing. The axe is a symbol of the transformation of Neolithic culture. 27 pieces of polished stone, delicate process, a stone axe, stone adzes, stone spinning wheels, stone scraper, stone arrow head, small stones (spear) 8. The number of stone adzes, regular shape, with long oblique cutting tool representative. 79 pieces of bone, in addition to the 1 pieces of grinding residual bone scraper, are making bone, bone and bone shovel cone. The three notches in the teeth may be scratching the porcupine symbol. In addition to pottery and ball spinning round round cake 1, the rest are all pieces of artifacts. 1494 tablets. The uneven thickness, thickness of 1.2 cm, thickness of only 0.2 cm, high temperature, hard texture. About 70% of sand pottery, pottery sand shale pottery class accounted for 30%, very little. Sand and sand are mainly sand. Pottery ornamentation is complicated, there are thick rope lines and Fang Gewen cone, tattoo, carved lines and lines and other additional cone. There are 3 pieces of pottery pottery, which has 1 pieces of orange powder is subjected to pottery coating inside and outside the grey clay, on the exterior is painted with two parallel red bands. This is the first time in Guizhou, Guizhou is also the earliest pottery record.
The site has a new and old stone formation, and the cultural connotation is rich. Pottery appear more attractive, but considerable differences in advanced culture. These have great significance to the study of the relationship between the new and the old stone culture in Guizhou and the time continuity of the times.
In February 23, 1982, the Guizhou Provincial People's Government approved the publication of the provincial cultural relics protection units. 1981年10月，飞虎山古人类遗址由贵州省博物馆试掘，洞内堆积复杂，大致分早、晚两期。早期地层呈黄色或灰黄色，出土大熊猫、剑齿象等化石，石制品均为打制，文化时代为旧石器时代晚期。晚期地层呈黑色、灰黑色，出土动物遗髓为现生属种，并出人类下颌件和打制石器、磨制石器、磨制骨器、大量的陶片等，地质时代为全新世，文化时代属新石器时代，推测距今约4000年至6000年。
遗址出土打制的石制品共532件，原料以燧石为主，有是核、石片、石器等。石器以石片为主，加工方向以正向加工为主，类型有砸器、刮削器、尖状器和斧形器等。其中刮削器占76%，尖状器虽少但加工精细。斧形器似为向新石器文化转化的象征。磨制石器27件，加工精致，有石斧、石锛、石纺轮、石刮刀、石箭(矛)头、小石块等8种。石锛数量多，形制规整，以长形斜刃具代表性。骨器79件，除1件残的磨制骨刮刀外，均为打制骨器，有骨锥和骨铲。其中豪猪牙上的三道刻痕可能是刻划符。陶器除圆饼式及圆珠纺轮各1件外，其余全是器物碎片。计1494片。其厚度不匀，厚者达1.2厘米，薄者仅0.2厘米，火候高，质地坚硬。夹砂灰陶约占70%，夹砂黑陶占30%，泥质类陶极少。夹砂陶以夹细砂为主。陶片纹饰复杂多样，有粗细绳纹、方格纹、锥刺纹、刻划纹和附加锥纹等。陶片中有3片彩陶，其中有1片是在泥质灰陶的内外施以粉澄色陶衣，再于外表绘有两条平行的红色条带。这是贵州首次发现，也是贵州迄今最早的彩陶记录。
遗址具有新、旧石器地层叠压，文化内涵丰富。彩陶的出现更引人瞩目，但中、晚期文化差异颇大。这些对研究贵州新、旧石器文化的相互关系和时代延续问题具有重要的意义。
1982年2月23日，经贵州省人民政府批准公布为省级文物保护单位。

We usually think of beautiful forests and mountainous places when it comes to fall foliage. Being from Los Angeles, the only fall colors I would see in the city limits were from the local parking lots of various big chain type stores and malls. It wasn't until I began exploring Northern California back in early 2012, and that's when I started appreciating fall for what it was. Little did I know I would make a move to the Pacific Northwest, where my love for fall photography increased ten fold. I fell in love with such areas like Leavenworth, Metaline Falls and Stevens County. Those top three areas are still my go-to areas for fall foliage in the State of Washington. Sometimes, it pays us photographers to look in the city. I didn't have to try hard to get this capture. I simply went out to my car, which was parked on the street outside of my Airbnb; as I was getting ready to warm up the car, something told me to open up the door and look at the curb. I was already reading the sign that was knocked over from last night's wind or possibly could have been down from another night who knows about parking and such. Then, I noticed this nice puddle where the water was still for the most part yet murky looking. There were interesting colors going on; both competing and colliding. portions of the smoothness of the water reminds me of some plastic waterproof bag no it wasn't umbrella it was a plastic type of umbrella that my mother had when I was a kid and I want to say it was yellow if not clear.

The Keener-Johnson Farm on Boyd's Creek Road in Sevier County, Tennessee, is a listed Tennessee Bicentennial Farm and the oldest historic family farm yet identified in Sevier County. The farm landscape represents a rural historic district that demonstrates agricultural change and continuity for well over 150 years. The farm gains additional significance for the contribution its history makes to the understanding of the roles of farm women in the maintenance and perpetuation of historic family farms in Tennessee. The farm's history begins in 1785 when John McCroskey received a North Carolina land grant of 3,000 acres, most of which was centered along Boyd's Creek in present-day Sevier County. John McCroskey shared the grant with William & Samuel McGauhey, also of North Carolina. In 1806, John Sharp, Jr. received a land grant from the State of Tennessee for part of the original McCroskey grant. Conflicting titles such as this one were not uncommon; in the great majority of cases, the Tennessee title was recognized as legitimate. Certainly part of the controversy ended when Robert Scott McCroskey, the son of John McCroskey, married Mary McChesney Sharp, the daughter of John Sharp, Jr. Robert and Mary Sharp McCroskey began to farm at the present location of the property by circa 1830. Their child, Mary Narcissa McCroskey, inherited 168 acres of the farm and after her marriage to Adam Harvey Keener. They built the present historic dwelling seen in the photograph above, the Keener House, in 1853. The dwelling, although remodeled throughout the next century, remains largely intact and at its original location. As the farm's oldest surviving building, it is a landmark for travelers along the highway as well as for the subsequent history of the farm.
Adam Harvey Keener was a miller by trade and during the 1850's he constructed and operated a gristmill and sawmill along Boyd's Creek, east of the dwelling. Similar to other farmers in the county, the Keener's raised small grains, livestock for their own consumption, and corn. After Adam Harvey Keener's death in 1891, his wife Mary M. Keener assumed ownership of the property and managed the farm for the next 11-12 years, dependent on the help of her adult children. After Mary M. Keener's death in 1902, the farm passed to her son Joseph A. Keener and his wife Hannah Clark Keener. It was probably Joseph and Hannah Keener who made the first substantial additions to the family's historic dwelling by adding a Victorian-styled porch. Joseph A. Keener continued farming and operating the sawmill, but he also became a local postmaster and opened a small post office in the front of the house, by the Boyd's Creek Road. Income from the post office was an important source of cash for the family. (The post office was demolished circa 1960.) Joseph A. Keener died in 1914 and farm management passed to his wife Hannah Clark Keener who would also continue to manage the post office. She lived on the farm for the next thirty years and became an active participant in the property's conversion into a modem progressive farm.
This modernization began in earnest after Hannah Clark Keener gave the farm to her daughter, Georgia Neva Bell Keener, in 1919. Georgia Keener married a returning World War I vet, Charles Wright Johnson, in 1919 and they settled on the farm, living in the historic Keener House with her mother. But, the Johnson's assumed the everyday management and operation of the property. Like other women across Tennessee interested in and active in Home Demonstration during the 1920's and 1930's, Georgia Keener Johnson became an active breeder and seller of chickens. Her first chicken coop in 1920, the design of which was standardized plans drawn by the University of Tennessee Extension Service, was small but turned enough profit that by 1930 the family had constructed a much larger rectangular-shaped chicken house. Four years later, when the family decided to build a garage along the road facing the house, they installed electricity and a hatchery in the basement so more chicks could be produced for market. Tenants played an important role in helping Georgia Kenner maintain her flocks and in 1935 the family demolished the old log tenant house that stood behind the dwelling and replaced it with a concrete block tenant house, with electricity. The family also branched out into fruit production and set up a fruit stand along the new state highway (now Tennessee 338) in front of the house. The fruit stand is no longer extant but the orchard, located behind the chicken coops, is still exists. The Johnson's sold apples, pears, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupes, and grapes, all grown on the farm. Another important product of the farm in the mid-20th century produced by Georgia Keener Johnson was flowers. She grew a variety of flowers that she sold at the roadside stand as well as at markets in Sevierville.
The transformation of the domestic complex of the farm from 1920 to 1935 was paralleled by changes in the farm's work complex, located to the northwest of the dwelling. The Johnson's built two large bams and a corn crib, along with a water tank and water system for their livestock. During these years, the Johnson's raised small grains, corn, tobacco, strawberries, peanuts, and a wide range of livestock, including dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, hogs, and mules. They also raised a truck garden, some of which was sold at the fruit stand but also sold weekly at the historic Market Square in Knoxville. From 1940 to 1950, however, the family began to focus its production strategy on hay and beef cattle. As participants in the local chapter of the Soil Conservation Service, the Johnson's terraced their fields, fenced others with wire fence or permanent tree lines, and built ponds. The field patterns found today on the farm reflect both the family's reliance on new government land conservation programs but also its shift toward more agricultural specialization, in their case livestock production.
In 1967, Charles W. Johnson, Jr. and his sisters Mary Johnson Bolton, Barbara Johnson Cox, Christine Johnson Posey, and Louise Johnson Posey inherited the farm from their mother Georgia Johnson. Charles W. Johnson, Jr. and his family resided on and most recently worked the farm. Their agricultural commodities were beef cattle, hay, and corn. But the farm is now surrounded by recent development and threatened by demands for new houses, new schools, and new roads in Sevier County. As a result, the number of family farms in Sevier County continues to dwindle. The commendable efforts by the Johnson's to continue farming and to maintain their link with the county's agricultural past brought about an effort to document the farm's history. Compared to other known Tennessee Century Farms in Sevier County, the Keener-Johnson Farm has several areas of special significance in agricultural history. First, it is the oldest identified historic family farm in the county. Second, its many surviving buildings from 1920 to 1940 document the transformation of rural life and farm production brought on by the progressive agricultural movement and how that movement impacted the roles of both women and men. And, for these reasons and its significant history, the Kenner-Johnson Farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on March 18, 1999.

St Peter, Walpole St Peter, Norfolk
St Peter is one of the dozen most famous parish churches in England. Alec Clifton-Taylor thought it was the best. Of course, claims can made for many big churches; but St Peter is not just special for its size. It is indeed magnificent, but also infinitely subtle, the fruit of circumstance and the ebb and flow of centuries. There is a sense of community and continuity as well; this is no mere museum, and it is not simply St Peter's historic survivals that attract its champions. This is a building to visit again and again, to delight in, and always see something new.
Be in no doubt that St Peter is a big church. At 160 feet long it dwarfs other East Anglian giants like Southwold, Blythburgh, Cley and Cawston. Only Salle gives it a run for its money. It is also a welcoming church, as all great churches should be. But even if it were kept locked, there would still be so much to see here that it would be worth the journey.
This part of the county has a character more commonly associated with Cambridgeshire, and of course we are only a couple of miles from the Nene which forms the border between the two counties. Walpole St Peter is closer to Peterborough and Cambridge than it is to Norwich. Indeed, it is closer to Leicester than it is to Great Yarmouth at the other end of Norfolk, a reminder that this is a BIG county. Today, the Norfolk marshland villages tend to be rather mundane, apart from their churches of course. In this curiously remote area around the Wash delineated by Lynn, Wisbech and Boston, there is an agri-industrial shabbiness accentuated by the flat of the land. But you need to imagine the enormous wealth of this area in the late medieval period. The silt washed by the great rivers out of the Fens was superb for growing crops. East Anglia, with the densest population in England, provided a ready market, and the proximity of the great ports gave easy access for exports. And then there was the Midlands and the North which could be accessed by the east coast ports.
The landowners and merchants became seriously wealthy, and according to custom bequeathed enhancements to their parish churches to encourage their fellow parishioners to pray for their souls after they were dead. This was nothing to do with the size of the local population; in England's Catholic days, these buildings were not intended merely for congregational worship. The fixtures and fittings of the parish churches reflected the volume of devotion, not just the volume of people. In areas where there was serious wealth, the entire church might be rebuilt.
But here at Walpole St Peter there was another imperative for rebuilding the church. In the terrible floods of the 1330s, the church here was destroyed, apart from its tower. Before it could be rebuilt in the fashionable Decorated style, the Black Death came along and took away fully half of the local population. However, the economic effects of the pestilence would turn out to be rather good for East Anglia in the long term, and by the early-15th century churches were being rebuilt on a grand scale all over Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Walpole has two late medieval churches - St Andrew on the other side of the village is very fine, but St Peter is the one that puts it in the shade.
The nave came first, the chancel following a few decades after. Eventually, the tower would also have been rebuilt, in a similar scale to the rest of the church. How amazing it might have been! We only need to look a few miles over the border to Boston to see what could have been possible. But the English Reformation of the 16th century brought an end to the need for bequests, and so the late 13th century tower remains in place to this day.
The vast church sits hemmed in to the north and east by its wide churchyard. The battlemented nave and chancel are a magnificent sight, most commonly first seen from the village street to the north. Rendering accentuates the reddishness of the stone, and the finest moment is probably the conjunction between nave and chancel; spired roodstair turrets rise to the gable, and at the apex is a glorious sanctus bell turret. The stairway on the north side is supported by a small figure who has been variously interpreted as the Greek god Atlas, the Fenland giant Hickathrift, or as anyone else I suppose.
The chancel is beautiful, but its most striking feature is the tunnel that goes beneath its eastern end. One of the features of the late medieval English Catholic church was liturgical processions, but when this chancel was extended in the 15th century it took the building right up to the boundary of consecrated ground. To enable processions still to circumnavigate this building, the tunnel was placed beneath the high altar. Such passageways are more common under towers, and there are several examples of this in Norfolk, but that option was obviously not possible here.
There are lots of interesting bosses in the vaulting. It isn't just the medieval past that has left its mark here. The floor of the tunnel is flagged, and there are horse-rings in the wall from the 18th and 19th century when it served the more mundane purpose of stabling during services.
Views of the south side of the church are hindered by a vast and beautiful copper beech, but there is no hiding the vastness of the south porch, one of the biggest and finest in Norfolk. The parvise window is as big as nave windows elsewhere; the keys of St Peter decorate the footstool of one of the niches.
And here are some of the finest medieval bosses in Norfolk. The two main ones are the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and the Last Judgement. There are characterful animals in the other bosses. Figures in niches include a Pieta, a Madonna and child, and a pilgrim with a staff, pack, and shell on his hat. Also in the porch is a sign reminding you to remove your patens, the hardy wooden clogs common to 19th century farm workers.
So much to see, then, even before you come to push open the original medieval door! And then you do, and the birdsong and leaf-thresh of the summer morning outside falls away, and you enter the cool of a serious stone space. The first impression is of height, because the vista to the east is cut off by an elegant 17th century screen, as at nearby Terrington St Clement. The unifying of nave and tower, almost a century apart, is accomplished by sprung buttresses high up on the west wall, each carved with a figure. Here are the Elizabethan communion table, a hudd ( the sentry box-like device intended to keep 18th century Rectors dry at the graveside) and the perpendicular light through the west windows.
And then you step through the pedimented entrance through the screen into the body of the church, and the building begins to unfold before you. Your journey through it begins.
Some huge churches impose themselves on you. St Peter doesn't. It isn't Salle or Long Melford. But neither is it jaunty and immediately accessible like Terrington St Clement or Southwold, nor full of light and air like Blythburgh. St Peter is a complex space, the sum of its parts, like Cley, and yet more than them, with a sense of being an act of worship in itself.
One of the delights of Walpole St Peter is that many of the furnishings reveal the hands of local craftsmen; the roodscreen dado Saints, for example. There are twelve of them, their naive character reminiscent of Westhall. The six outer saints are women, the inner ones apostles. The two sets are clearly by different hands, and the late Tom Muckley wondered if they were, in fact, from two different screens.
On the north side are St Catherine, the rare subject of the Blessed Virgin and Christchild, St Margaret (the processional cross with which she dispatches the dragon is unfinished), St John, St James and St Thomas. On the south side are St Peter, St Paul, St Andrew, St Mary of Magdala, St Dorothy and St Barbara. I was pleased to be asked recently for the use of my photographs for the information board which explains it.
The nave has a feel that is at once ancient and vital, not so much of age as of timelessness, of continuity. It's the sheer mixture of woodwork that impresses - silvery oak broods in the white light from the high windows. The best of the medieval work is in the south aisle, where the benches are tiered and face inwards. A massive dark wood pulpit and tester broods over the north side. Above all this rises the pale cream of the arcades, topped by the gold of the hanging candelabras, and the towering, serious early 17th century font cover. The font is clearly one of the Seven Sacraments series; but, as at the great churches of Blythburgh and Southwold in Suffolk, the panels have been completely erased. A dedicatory inscription is dated 1537.
As well as wood, metal. The candelabras provide a focus, but there is also one of the latten medieval lecterns familiar from elsewhere in Norfolk, the little lions perky at its feet. The south aisle chapel has a lovely parclose screen with a spiked iron gate. In the north aisle, the chapel has been neatly furnished for smaller scale worship.
And then you step through into the chancel, and this is something else again. Here is true grandeur. This immense spaces rises fully twenty-one steps from nave floor to high altar. Here is the late medieval imagination writ large, compromised in the years since, but largely restored by the late Victorians. You step from subtlety to richness. Niches and arcading flank the walls leading the eye east, their blankness becoming sedilia. In the high niches where once were images, 17th and 18th century worthies have their memorials. Everything leads the eye to the great east window, where excellent 19th century glass completes your journey through the Queen of the Marshlands.
Simon Jenkins, in the often-maligned England's Thousand Best Churches, tends to cast a cold and even sardonic eye on most buildings as he passes by, but at Walpole St Peter even his breath was taken away: it is a place not of curiosity but of subtle proportion, of the play of light on stone and wood. If English churches were Dutch Old Masters, this would be St Pieter de Hooch.
