I found a sunset photo taken at St. Michael's Mount that I had not processed. I timed my day so that I would be close enough to drive to Parranuthnoe, park and walk around the peninsula to catch this view.

St. Michael's Episcopal Church ( 1752)
Charleston, South Carolina
St. Michael’s Church is the oldest church edifice in the City of Charleston, standing on the site of the first Anglican Church built south of Virginia. In the 1680’s a small wooden church, the first in the new town of Charles Town, was built on this spot for the families of the Church of England, and named St. Philip’s. By 1727, the town had grown too large for the small church and a more spacious one was built of brick on Church Street, later destroyed by fire in 1835.
By 1751, St. Philip’s had again proved too small for the increasing population, and another church as authorized by the General Assembly of the Province, to be built on the old site and to be known as St. Michael’s. The cornerstone was laid in 1752 and in 1761 the church was opened for services. Except for the addition of the sacristy in 1883 on the southeast corner, the structure of the building has been little changed.
Although the architect’s name is unknown, the type of architecture follows the tradition of Sir Christopher Wren, generally used during our Colonial period and up to the Gothic revival in 1841. The design carries out worship according to the Book of Common Prayer, where the service is to be heard and all the worshippers are to participate. The altar is close to the congregation in a shallow recess, the apse, with the choir and organ in the rear. A gallery on three sides brings more people closer to the center of worship. St. Michael’s is one of the few city churches in America that has retained this original design.

St Michael's is the northernmost of the two medieval parish churches at Sutton Bonington and with its slender tower and tapering spire is by far the more imposing of the two buildings. The present building is the result of successive modifications from the 13th to 15th centuries while the chancel was mostly rebuilt during the Victorian restoration.
The interior is spacious with aisles on either side and walls scraped back to the stonework. There is an interesting mix of 19th and 20th century glass by various makers (including four by C.E. Kempe) and this doesn't lower the light level too significantly owing to the generous clerestorey windows high in the nave.
St Michael's is worth a look, a handsome building with some rewarding windows, and happily in normal times seems to be usually kept open and welcoming to visitors (like its sister church down the road).

St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall
This image was taken close to sunset from the East of the Mount. Quite an armada of clouds make this a little more interesting…
These are not mine but "Just Called Me Michael's" who is having computer woes. These are entries for Take Aim's Dramatic Tree/s challenge. You can comment, and once Mike gets his issues resolved, he can see them.
Future home of Michael's in Parkersburg. This is the recently closed Pat Catan's. Michael's previously were located in Parkersburg in the HIll's Shopping Plaza across from the mall. They were only open a couple of years in the early '00s. If you look closely, you can see the old Crafts 2000 labelscar behind the Michael's logo. This building was originally built for Hart's Depart Store in the mid 1980s.
Father O'Leary of St. Michael's Church in Oldham was looking for a bus to transport children to and from Catholic Schools in the Oldham area, and of all that was looked at, a certain Northern Counties bodied Leyland Atlantean registered PNF941J was deemed the best of the bunch.
The bus in question was none other than the first prototype 'Standard' for the new Selnec PTE, EX1, and there is no doubt that Father O'Leary's new purchase safeguarded the vehicle to ensure it would eventually end up in preservation. Of course, he wouldn't have known this at the time, to him it was just the best of what was available.
Even before The SELNEC Preservation Society was formed on 11th January 1987, individuals who were to come together to form the society had expressed an interest in EX1, and made a number of visits to Father O'Leary in Oldham. Eventually, after the Society was formed and 7206 and 7185 had been acquired, more serious attention then turned to EX1, the Society's potential third preservation prospect. Clearly, the Father required a bus to transport the children to and from school daily, but the actual identity of that vehicle was not important, and in fact he did not realise the relevance of the vehicle he was using, until it was explained to him. Conversations with the Father indicated that should a vehicle in equal or better condition be provided to St. Michael's Church for their use, they would accept it in exchange for EX1, as all they required was a serviceable vehicle for their transportation functions.
Eventually, the Selnec group agreed with the PTE to purchase 7110 XJA501L, the first Park Royal production Standard delivered to the Southern Division. It was purchased and swapped with Father O'Leary in a ceremony outside Birchfields Depot, recorded by the Manchester Evening News on 6th April 1988.
The bus continued in the same role as EX1 before it, but was never repainted out of GMT livery, even retaining in house advertising for pre paid tickets!
It is seen here parked outside Father O'Leary's residence in the summer of 1994 looking pretty much the same as it did a decade earlier when running for the PTE.

St. Michael's Parish Church is one of the largest burgh churches in the Church of Scotland. It is one of two parishes serving the West Lothian county town of Linlithgow, the other being St. Ninian's Craigmailen. St Michael is the town's patron saint; the town's motto is "St Michael is kinde to strangers".
King David I of Scotland granted a charter for the establishment of the church in 1138. The church was built on the site of an older church and was consecrated in 1242. Following a fire in 1424, most of the present building dates from the mid 15th century, with extensive restorations in the 19th century. Parts of the Church of St Michael were brought into use as they were completed, and the church was completed in 1540.

St Michael's Church stands within an extensive Churchyard within Lowther park and in the shadow of the ruined Lowther Castle. A spectacular location which overlooks the River Lowther and commands fine views over forest and fell. From "hog-back" Saxon burial stones unearthed in the Churchyard, it is clear that Christian worship has continued on this sight for 1000 years. Todays building dates from 1686 when the walls of the 13th Century Church were pulled down and rebuilt. There are also 18th and 19th Century additions.
There are 4 Edwards Littleton commemorated in this church ; for this one, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Littleton_(died_1558) ; the monument is attributed to the Royley workshop in Burton on Trent.

St Michael's Church - Llanfihangel-y-pennant
This attractive little church stands near the River Dysynni, just east of the ruins of Castell-y-Bere. The church has several interesting historic features. The font, a scalloped bowl atop a cylindrical column, is 12th century and is thought to have come from the castle chapel.
There has been a church on this site since the 13th century, suggesting that the current building was erected in conjunction with Castell-y-Bere. Near the vestry is a small window, slightly offset. This is known as the Leper Window, and tradition says that it was made to allow inmates of a local leper colony to view services without actually entering the church.
In the vestry is a fascinating fabric model of the Dysynni valley, crafted by local people. The model is fully 14 feet long, and is housed in a glass case. Also in the vestry, which was added to the church around 1878, is a display on the life of Llanfihangel-y-pennant's most famous native, Mary Jones.
Jones was born in the village, and became famous as the inspiration for the foundation of the Bible Society. In 1800, at the age of 15 or 16, she walked barefoot from Llanfihangel-y-pennant to Bala, a distance of 26 miles, to obtain a Bible. Her story gave impetus to the foundation of the Bible Society in 1804. Mary Jones's parents are buried in the churchyard, but her grave is at nearby Bryncrug. A short walk from the church brings you to Tyn-y-ddol, where you can find a monument, erected in the ruined shell of the Jones house.
The location of the church is utterly superb, and the setting, combined with the historical connections, makes St Michael's a fascinating place to visit.
A couple of days ago I posted an image looking at the cliffs at the southern end of Avalon Beach, taken during a floatplane flight up the Northern Beaches in late 2009. The image above is in North Avalon. At the time I took it, I thought some of the houses looked precariously close to the cliff edge and worth a shot. It was only when I researched it I discovered the story below.
Although the peninsula that you see is composed primarily of Hawkesbury sandstone and the underlying Narrabeen group of sandstones and shales from the Triassic period (250-200 million years ago), tectonic movements over the eons have created vertical cracks through the layered sedimentary rocks.
In the succeeding Jurassic period (200-145 million years ago), molten rock forced its way through these cracks, forming dolerite dykes that rise from the depths and form thin vertical sheets punctuating the otherwise sedimentary geology.
Dolerite dykes weather more slowly on sea-level rock platforms, as can be seen at Long Reef (off to the south - left), but dykes exposed above sea level tend to erode more quickly, as is the case with St Michael’s Cave.
Much of the metre-wide dyke here is mineral feldspar which, when decomposed by weathering turns to a light clay. As the dyke has been weathered over the eons, so too have the immediately-adjacent shales and sandstones, and a cave has formed, penetrating nearly 70m into the headland.
Not only have the sides of the cave weathered but also the roof, from which material has continued to fall to the floor of the cave.
In earlier times, especially during those brief periods when the sea level was higher than it is now, the fallen material would have been washed away, leaving the floor of the cave clean. But when the sea level stabilised at its current level, the fallen material simply lay where it fell, slowly building up the floor level.
Today, the lip of the cave is now tens of metres above sea level. The mouth of the cave is now only about 8m wide and 4m high but the cave heightens as the floor near the lip falls away until a point is reached where the cave is about 17m high, although in the centre is a large pile of debris that has fallen from the roof and remained where it fell.
The dyke still traverses the full length of the roof of the cave, at the rear of which high-pitched squeaks and the smell of guano reveal a breeding site for common bent-wing bats and large-eared pied bats.
It would be interesting to know what significance was attached to the cave by the local Aborigines. This wondrous natural feature did not long escape the attention of arriving Europeans, although it is not known which of them was the first to enter the cave.
For all its beauty and wonder, this window into the geological past is a dangerous place to be - rocks continually fall from the roof and could easily kill a person - so the mouth of the cave is now fenced off for public safety.
And as for that trampoline in the grounds of the cliff-edge property on the left of the image, it is just landward of a fence - on the largest version of the image you can see that most of the properties have fence lines or walls that prevent direct access to the cliff...
St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos yn Koos, meaning "hoar rock in woodland") is a small tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The island is a civil parish and is linked to the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. The population of this parish in 2011 was 35. It is managed by the National Trust, and the castle and chapel have been the home of the St Aubyn family since approximately 1650. The earliest buildings, on the summit, date to the 12th century.
Its Cornish language name – literally, "the grey rock in a wood" – may represent a folk memory of a time before Mount's Bay was flooded, indicating a description of the mount set in woodland. Remains of trees have been seen at low tides following storms on the beach at Perranuthnoe. Radiocarbon dating established the submerging of the hazel wood at about 1700 BC.
Historically, St Michael's Mount was a Cornish counterpart of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France (with which it shares the same tidal island characteristics and the same conical shape, in spite of being much smaller), when it was given to the Benedictine religious order of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century. In the 12th century it was their hands that built the church and priory that still lie at the heart of the castle today.
From 1193 when the Mount was seized by Henry La Pomeray who disguised his men as pilgrims, through the Wars of the Roses in 1473 when the Mount was held by the Earl of Oxford, to the Civil War, when Royalists valiantly held back the forces of Oliver Cromwell – the Mount has weathered many times of battle. Visitors can gaze out across the rows of cannons which once drove a Napoleonic ship to its capture on Marazion beach or peer up to the top of the church tower where the first beacon was lit of the series that warned London of the approach of the Spanish Armada.
