The image for today was taken in the City Centre of Coventry. The view is of the historic Cook Street Gate. This Grade I listed structure was originally part of the Medieval Town wall of Coventry and was built during the 14th century. This gatehouse was one of twelve forming part of the surrounding wall. Most of the town wall and gates were demolished in 1662 on the orders of King Charles II. This was a punishment for Coventry siding with the Parliamentarians during the English Civil war. This Gate along with the nearby Swanswell (or Priory) Gate are the only two that have survived out of the original twelve gates to the city. It is thought that upon it's completion Coventry had the strongest city wall (except for London) in England. The Gatehouse also a scheduled ancient monument.
The photo was taken using the app ProCamera on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation and Ambiance, as well as decreasing the Highlights and Shadows. I finally used the Healing feature to delete the double yellow (no parking) lines from the road leading to the gate. Next I used the app Waterlogue to apply the Travelogue watercolour effect. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Tone preset, the Vibrant FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Stucco texture and the Leather frame.
Today's image was taken this afternoon in Upper Spon Street, which is near to the City Centre of Coventry. The view is of the recently restored 'Black Swan Terrace'. The houses within view form part of a selection of what we're originally Medieval houses. These were built in the Mid 15th century as one structure by the Coventry Priory. After the dissolution during the reign of King Henry VIII the houses were taken away from the Priory and eventually sold on to the Mercer's Guild. Over the next few hundred years the houses passed though several owners who made various changes, such as rendering the buildings in cement and facing the fronts with brick, which can be seen now. These group of houses are Grade II* listed buildings.

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I cropped and Straightened the picture, then I applied the Tonal Contrast preset. After this I decreased the Highlights a little and boosted the Saturation, Warmth, Contrast and Ambiance. Next I used the app Stackables to apply the Peeling Paint formula to the image. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Vibrant FX and the Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Old Paper texture and the Burlap frame.
