Unlike most orders of the period, under which the arts flourished, the Cistercians exercised severe restrictions on their use of art. During the course of the 12th century the sculptural decoration of churches, manuscript illumination, stone towers on churches, and stained glass were all successively proscribed. Reflecting this severity is the austerely impressive architecture of the more than 700 Cistercian monasteries that spread throughout Europe in the 12th century, most of them built in isolated places.
The National Trust bought the 674-acre (273 ha) Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal estate from North Yorkshire County Council in 1983. In 1986 the parkland in which the abbey is situated and the abbey was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The river Coln drifts quietly through Bibury, and past the famous Arlington Row.
We had the good fortune to be there early on a September morning and got a few shots off just head of the lines of tour buses coming in.

Life has been total chaos here at home, but I have missed all my contacts on Flickr and at least wanted to get an image up to let all know I haven't vanished. Will catch up with comments tomorrow. ~Rae

Headlands walk along the Yorkshire Coast
As the farms look so tiny perched atop these powerful cliffs, it made me consider how that we may think our mark on the planet is insignificant, but if we look again more closely we find that is not the case. As a group over 8 billion strong, our actions are destroying this wonderful gift of earth and we are fools if we think this can continue.

Was hoping to shoot some lighthouses on Friday but they didn't have an ice buildup like I had wanted. So we had a lovely drive around the farm country and came away with a few interesting images.

This little building (now a home) sits above the drive to the farm where my brother spent his summers as a child. It is a beautiful area in West Yorkshire and always a treat to return to.

I am so grateful for your visits and comments. However, due to time constraints I will NO LONGER be posting in award groups other than the MasterClass groups. Thank you to all the hard working admins who have invited my work in the past.
We finally got home to the US after multiple attempts and cancelled flights from the UK. So happy to be settled safely back, although very sad to have the visit with our little brother Andy cut short. This scene down the road from our home greeted us on Monday after our arrival.

Another from our visit last week to my friend's wonderful little farm. I'm getting used to my new telephoto lens and its weight, so I came away with only a limited number of shots of the horses running, but there were a couple I was pleased with and I have learned a lot. I have done little work with telephoto and never over 200mm so this is a very different genre for me.

I'm working with an online group. This month is to think about an image for each letter of the alphabet as I move through February. As usual, I am behind and a bit hit or miss. I'm also not feeling well enough to go out and shoot. However it is getting me to think about the images I choose to edit.
This is on the same farm as the previous ice sculpture.

The limestone stretches out in broken patterns beneath a wide, shifting sky. A lone tree leans into the wind, shaped by years of weather sweeping across Twistleton Scar. The scene feels raw and desolate.

Someday I am going to get one of these guys with the beautiful iridescent blue wings open. I guess it's good to have an unfulfilled goal. In the meantime I do think the camouflage underside of their wings is pretty amazing too.

Conditions for limestone pavements are created when an advancing glacier scrapes away overburden and exposes horizontally bedded limestone, with subsequent glacial retreat leaving behind a flat, bare surface. Limestone is slightly soluble in water and especially in acid rain, so corrosive drainage along joints and cracks in the limestone can produce slabs called clints isolated by deep fissures called grikes or grykes[2] (terms derived from a northern English dialect).

The name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land"
The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream crossed by two footbridges, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold limestone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables.

I usually try and keep people out of my photos, but I loved how this family set off the scale of Broadway Tower and the little girl seemed so enthused, like she was about to move in.
