Excerpt from Wikipedia:
St. Michael's Cave or Old St. Michael's Cave is the name given to a network of limestone caves located within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, at a height of over 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. According to Alonso Hernández del Portillo, the first historian of Gibraltar, its name is derived from a similar grotto in Monte Gargano near the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo in Apulia, Italy, where the archangel Michael is said to have appeared.
It is the most visited of the more than 150 caves found inside the Rock of Gibraltar, receiving almost 1,000,000 visitors a year.
The town of St Andrews on the east coast of Scotland lies within the Kingdom of Fife. Pictured here are a couple of locations from the town.
Looking back down towards St Davids Cathedral, in the city of St Davids (Pembrokeshire, in southwesternmost Wales), on an afternoon in late October 2024.
The cathedral, known in Welsh as Eglwys Gadeiriol Tyddewi, is located on the site of a monastic community established during the 6th century by Dewi Sant – the Welsh name of St David – who became the patron saint of Wales. Unlike many such churches, instead of being on a prominent height, it is tucked into a hollow, which would have made it less visible from the nearby sea, providing some (although not sufficient) protection from Viking raids and other piracy during the early medieval period. The local stone is a characteristic grey with pink-to-purple tints.
Bishop Peter de Leia began the construction of the current building in 1181, during the reign of Henry II. By then, the place had official papal privilege as an important pilgrimage destination. Repairs, redesign, and expansion continued through 1540, but pillaging and destruction resulted from periods of the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the (so-called “English”) Civil War. Noted church architect George Gilbert Scott (1811-1878) restored most of the building, including a redesigned tower; the building and its decorations thus incorporate Victorian elements. St Davids continues to be active as an Anglican cathedral as well as a historic site welcoming visitors.
The cathedral city of St Davids (also spelled St David’s, based on the Welsh Tyddewi, or House of David) has the official status of a city, the UK’s smallest city by population and urban area, even though its size corresponds to that of many a large village. In addition to the cathedral and other listed historic structures, the Oriel y Parc Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Visitor Centre is located in St Davids. Some of the Park’s varied landscapes are visible in the background.

St. Juraj Church in the abandoned village of Spiljari near Kotor, Montenegro, is accessible only on foot via the old Ladder of Kotor mule track or through a window in the walls of St. John Fortress high above the town.
Downtown St. Paul gives off a beautiful glow. This view from Mounds Park is the only place where you can see the downtowns of St. Paul and Minneapolis in the same frame. And one of the rare occasions when Minneapolis takes a back seat to St. Paul! The First Bank "1" is ice blue this week to recognize the state high school hockey tournaments occurring in St. Paul.
A seemingly often photographed location - put my own spin on it with the edit - looking for the colours and perspective.
