I just used a scratchy overlay layer and then created a layer mask with it. Also, the photo really sucked hardcore, so I made it a silhouette.
Dawlish Warren station. Annie and I walked from Starcross back to Dawlish Warren station via Cockwood, which was a lovely walk through the countryside.

High School Students 10-12 grade
The California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA) is a rigorous pre-professional training program in the visual and performing arts, creative writing, animation, and film for talented artists of high school age. CSSSA provides a supportive environment in which students hone acquired skills and explore new techniques and ideas for an intense and exciting learning experience. The School was created by the California Legislature, held its first session in 1987 and will conduct its 26th session in 2012. Its purpose is to provide a training ground for future artists who wish to pursue careers in the arts and entertainment industries in California. The California State Summer School for the Arts is a state agency funded through a unique public-private partnership.
Church of St Peter ad Vincula, Combe Martin, Devon
The village consists principally of one single long street which runs 2 miles between the valley head down to the sea and there is evidence of Iron Age occupation including the nearby Newberry Castle fort.
The name "Combe" is Old English for "wooded valley" with Martin added from that family who held the the village as feudal barons of Barnstaple following the marriage of Nicholas FitzMartin (d.1260) to heiress Maud de Tracy
There are several disused silver mines on the eastern ridge and evidence of tunnels can still be seen, as well as the remains of a wheelhouse used to lift ore from the mine. Items in the Crown Jewels are made from Combe Martin silver and a large part of the war expenses of Edward III and Henry V were paid for by the sale of silver mined here. It also financed the rood screen
The church consists of chancel, nave, north and south transepts, north aisle, north and south porches, and west tower. Possibly built on the site of a Saxon church, the rebuild was probably originally cruciform, the earlier north transept being removed later when a north aisle was added
Built with stone rubble with ashlar dressings and with a dressed stone façade to the south porch, the structure was constructed in the Early English style with 13c materials surviving in the south transept and on the south side of the chancel and nave. The first listed rector is of 1309.
The Impressively tall four stage west tower was begun in the reign of Henry II [1154-1189], and completed later in early 15c ; 99 feet in height to the battlement. It has a clock and the 8 bells were recast by Taylor of Oxford in 1827 and by Mears and Stainbank of London in 1922.
Also in early 15c the north chancel chapel & north porch were added followed in late 15c / early 16c by the addition of the rebuilt north transept.
The south porch was rebuilt 1725. It has a slate sundial above dated 1753. flic.kr/p/cCTiu3
Restorations took place in 1858 and 1881.
Over the west window of the tower is a figure of Christ and on the south buttress is a niche with a representation of the Trinity, the north buttress has a figure of St. Michael slaying the Dragon. On the south side of the tower is a niche with a figure of a bishop, possibly St. Peter. An animal figure on abuttress of south side supports a shield with 3 lions passant, the royal arms from Richard i to 1340 before Edward iii added the fleur-de-lys.
The 15c rood screen its doors, but the groining and cornices have been removed. In 1727 the churchwardens substituted a cornice of plaster for the original one of wood with their initials and date of the work recorded on the front of the screen — the model taken seems to have been that of an ordinary sitting-room ceiling cornice, and the effect has been described as "truly awful "— However it is redeemed in the lower panels with images of saints and the pier casing retains some fine canopy work. . www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/PB48484Dwp
