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 sun was positioned low, beyond the horizon in this Pitt River, winter scene.
To the right you can see a couple operating a drone,
If you zoom in, you may see the two illuminated red lights of the drone as it hovers slightly to the right, just above their heads..
The light captured and illuminated the cabin enclosure on the aluminum river boat, seen moored at a dock.
There is silhouette of a river barge also on the right.

Spotted these lovely lambs when out on my walk. I was very conscious of the wired fence with tufts of wool that was keeping them in and keeping them safe.
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 :-)
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
Wikipedia: Prasat Mueang Tam is a Khmer Hindu Temple in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province, Thailand. It is primarily in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its primary phases of construction to the late-10th and early-11th centuries. The primary deity was Shiva, although Vishnu was also worshipped there.
Like most Hindu temples, Mueang Tam is oriented towards the east. It has a flat concentric plan, with a central sanctuary and two surrounded successively by an inner enclosure, ponds, and an outer enclosure. The ponds between the enclosures are an unusual feature of the temple, as is the central sanctuary, which is not elevated and has its towers arranged in rows of three and two. All the towers except the central one have been restored.
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.
This morning I had make room for more caterpillars and two of the enclosures were filled on the top with chrysalis... one had 33 and the other 20....
With one pull, I was able to bring down 12!! What an amazing sight... I'd love this around my neck!
To date I have released 55.... 27 Females / 28 Males
SO MANY more to go....

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.

This shot was taken at Four Winds, just off the Tavistock to Princetown road on Dartmoor. There is now a car park on the far side of the stone enclosure. But many years ago there was a local school there. The stone enclosure seems to have been used as the playground.
The school was attended by the children of families working in local quarries and agriculture. Foggintor School opened in 1914 and at one point had over 80 pupils. But as employment opportunities declined so too did the size of the school roll. The school finally closed down in July 1936 when the decline in the quarry industry at Merrivale and elsewhere reduced the number of families in the area. The school buildings gradually crumbled away over the years but were not finally demolished until the 1960s.
Having seen old photos of the school I was interested to see that it was purpose-built in brick. I suspect this substantial stone enclosure could be a much earlier structure that was taken over and used by the school as a playground, though I have not been able to find any confirmation.
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..

One of six whinchats seen in the masts field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve last Friday. This individual is on the fence around the heather enclosure.
I noticed this flower as I was leaving the butterfly enclosure in Thames. To be honest, I'm surprised it was even in focus. I was almost passing out from the heat and humidity of the butterfly enclosure, so was a little light headed! It was a nice surprise to see it came out fairly well, even if the main flower isn't in perfect focus.
HPPS everyone. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday. :)
