The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.
The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.
A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.
The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
When Guru went into the cat enclosure, Muse still couldn't bring himself to use the cat flap. So I opened the bedroom window to see if he would use that avenue. He watched for a long time before finally venturing out.
This is one of the sheltered spots in Willow's enclosure. I love the butterfly tree, the secret to keep it flowering is clipping off the browned flower heads.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Today I met with one of my Monarch friends, who released over 1,000 last year... and she also raises Black Swallowtails! I've been filling my garden with all their host plants to help attract them this year...
She not only gave me a plant of carrot tops... she gave me two of her chrysalis from last year to care for!! I have them in a small enclosure and I will just sit and wait for them to do their thing... I've heard some swallowtails will stay in their chrysalis for years before they eclose... I hope I don't have to wait that long!!
The host plants of the Black Swallowtail butterfly include such plants as carrots, parsley, dill, fennel, Queen Anne's Lace and rue.
I will say they are not as beautiful as the jade Monarch chrysalis... these look more like pertrified wood!! lol!!
Third enclosure with gallery. It is probably a restored part of the archaeological site. Ta Prohm is surrounded by five concentric enclosures.
Plan of Ta Prohm is similar to Banteay Kdei but much larger and complicated. It was founded in 1186, one year later than Banteay Kdei, by Jayavarman VII. Both are referred to as the Bayon type of temples, but Bayon is newer than the two.
Not a Sunday Slide, the wacky colours are straight out of the camera. The LUT implementation in the S5ii makes it too easy to achieve garish results like this..
This is a walled field on the slopes of Skiddaw in the Northern Fells

Bredwardine
According to the information board next to this site there was a palisaded enclosure here by the Norman Conquest in 1066. This site was built next to an existing settlement to the north, controlling an important crossing of the River Wye. According to the Doomsday Book of 1086, this land was held by Alfred of Marlborough, 100 years later it seems the land was passed to the Baskerville family, who held Bredwardine until the late 14th century when it passed to the Vaughan family.
The Vaughan’s seemed to have gained a neglected site, as in 1374 the castle was described as being abandoned and in a ruinous state, it appears it was now being used as a farmstead.
The Vaughan’s built a new castle on a site closer to church, this is probably why Bredwardine has two castle sites.
A short walk from here down a slight incline is the fish pond which features in the previous upload. It appears that in the 12th century the Baskervilles had another fish pond, a garden, vineyard and orchard.
As you can see there is nothing left to indicate the existence of a castle, but the sheep seem to be making the most if the shade under the tree.
Thank you for your visit and your comment, they are greatly appreciated.
Guru is seen exiting the scene. Pretty much all of the cats who use this enclosure enjoy scratching on that beam.

During our visit to Mt Rainier last weekend, we found this snow cave carved out by the rushing flow. Going inside a snow cave can be dangerous and you should have the proper safety equipment. But it is such a surreal experience with the fluted ceiling textures, the drips of water coursing down, and the sound of the rushing stream echoing off the walls. While snow caves are cool (pun intended), ice caves take the experience to a whole different level! Imagine blue, translucent ice radiating all around you in myriad patterns and textures. If photographing an ice cave is on your bucket list, join us in Iceland Feb 2020. Due to demand, we opened up a second winter workshop with Siggi Brynjarsson and David Swindler. Learn more here:
A Bronze age encampment wall. Hut circles abut the wall that was reconstructed after an archaeological dig. The Beck or stream can be seen to the top right of the image and this is very much Ilkley Moor. The rain didn't effect my Pentax, but softened some of my vintage lenses with a haze of mist. Not an easy trip, but great fun trying to dry the insides of your waterproofs.
