St. Christopher Church was built from 1695-1698 by Father Francisco Albear, but damaged by an earthquake in 1880. It is the only church in the country with three belfries. The convent was also damaged by an earthquake in 1855 but was reconstructed in 1586 and was completed in 1873.
The church has a massive facade with baroque, renaissance and Muslim features.
Holyhead, UK. St. Cybi's dates back to the 13th Century, but stands within the walls of a 4th Century Roman Fort called Caer Gybi.

St.Catherine's is a remote Victorian church built in 1866.
Designed by architect EW Pugin, St.Catherine's at Kingsdown in Kent is the only complete Anglican church he designed and is almost totally unchanged since it opened in 1877.
It is no longer used for worship and is in the care of the chuches conservation trust.

First post in a while - not sure why, some charity work and more focus on my landscape photography www.markamlawrence.com are just some of the excuses!

Taken last weekend when we had some good weather at St Abbs near the harbor.
Difficult to get the colours right with the B&W ten stop and a Lee Grad filter.
Been raining all day here and doesn't look good for the weekend so probably not much shooting.
Still waiting for the Hitech Pro ND10 filter. Just hope its a good as the reviews
Update - got my Hitech filter today as hadn't checked the post, but could be a few days before i can use it properly, but will try and test the colour cast this eve.
Further Update- Tried the filter for a test shot and the cast looks somewhere in between the Lee and B&W which is great news, but the filter has a flaw as there is a dark patch in it. I can't see it with the naked eye but it will be going back... Apart from that it looks promising

Die römisch-katholische St.-Hedwigs-Kathedrale ist die Bischofskirche des Erzbistums Berlin . ,Der Rundbau wurde ab 1747 im Auftrag von Friedrich dem Großen nach Plänen von Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff im Stil des Friderizianischen Rokoko errichtet. Der erste katholische Kirchenbau in Berlin nach der Reformation wurde besonders für die neuen römisch-katholischen Einwohner Berlins aus Schlesien errichtet und deshalb dem Patrozinium der als Schutzpatronin Schlesiens verehrten Hedwig von Andechs unterstellt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg ausgebrannt, wurde die Kathedrale 1952–1963 nach Plänen von Hans Schwippert im Stil der Nachkriegsmoderne wiederhergestellt. In den Jahren 1952 bis 1963 wurde die nunmehr in der Hauptstadt der DDR gelegene Kathedrale wiederhergestellt. Den Innenraum gestaltete der (westdeutsche) Architekt Hans Schwippert in Zusammenarbeit mit Künstlern neu. Er schuf eine außergewöhnliche Raumaufteilung. In dem durch den Bombenabwurf zerstörten Sakralbau wurde ein Zugang zur Unterkirche mit den neugeschaffenen acht Kapellen angelegt. Die in der Substanz weitgehend erhaltene Außenarchitektur des Zentralbaus wurde in Anlehnung an das historische Erscheinungsbild wiederhergestellt. Die Kuppel wurde jedoch im Umriss verändert und erhielt eine mit Kupfer verkleidete, paraboloide Betonschalenkonstruktion aus 84 Segmenten. Sie hat einen Innendurchmesser von 33 Metern. Im November 2013 schrieb das Erzbistum Berlin einen Architektenwettbewerb zur Neugestaltung des Innenraumes und des baulichen Umfelds aus. Die Notwendigkeit begründete das Erzbistum damit, dass die Entwicklungen in Liturgie und Theologie infolge des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils (1962–1965) entsprechende bauliche Weiterentwicklungen und Anpassungen verlangen würden. Vor allem durch die Bodenöffnung zur Krypta wäre der Priester zu sehr von der Gemeinde getrennt. Den Architekturwettbewerb gewann der Entwurf des Architekturbüros Sichau & Walter Architekten GmbH aus Fulda mit Leo Zogmayer aus Wien. Von 2018 bis Ende November 2024 war die Kathedrale dannwegen Sanierung und Umbaus geschlossen. Der neue Altar, ein Gussstein, in den nach einer Idee von Leo Zogmayer von Gemeindemitgliedern gespendete Steine aller Art aus allen Gegenden des Erzbistums, das bis nach Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reicht, eingeschlossen sind, wurde am 1. November 2023, dem 250. Jahrestag der ursprünglichen Kirchweihe, geweiht. Auch nach einer Idee von Zogmayer sind in die matten Fenster Luftblasen eingearbeitet, die den Sternenhimmel über Berlin zum Zeitpunkt von Christi Geburt zeigen. Bei dem trüben Licht des Tages, an dem ich in der Kirche war, waren sie allerdings nicht zu erkennen. Die Wiedereröffnung der umgestalteten Kathedrale fand am Christkönigsfest, dem 24. November 2024, statt. Der Umbau war heftig umstritten gewesen, zumal die Nachkriegsgestaltung eigentlich unter Denkmalschutz stand. Auf mich persönlich wirkte die neue Gestaltung sehr kühl und steril, auch fand ich die Kuppelgestaltung mit sichtbaren Betonrippen sehr viel interessanter als die neue glatte Kuppeldecke mit netzartigen Strukturen.

The Roman Catholic St Hedwig's Cathedral is the episcopal church of the Archdiocese of Berlin. The circular building was commissioned by Frederick the Great in 1747 and built in the Friderician Rococo style according to plans by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. The first Catholic church building in Berlin after the Reformation was erected especially for the new Roman Catholic inhabitants of Berlin from Silesia and was therefore placed under the patronage of Hedwig of Andechs, who was honoured as the patron saint of Silesia. Burnt out during the Second World War, the cathedral was rebuilt in 1952-1963 according to plans by Hans Schwippert in the style of post-war modernism. The cathedral, now located in the capital of the GDR (East Germany), was rebuilt between 1952 and 1963. The interior was redesigned by the (West German) architect Hans Schwippert in collaboration with artists. He created an unusual room layout. An entrance to the lower church with the newly created eight chapels was created in the sacred building, which had been destroyed by the bombing. The exterior architecture of the building with central disposition, the substance of which was largely preserved, was restored to its historical appearance. However, the outline of the dome was changed and it was given a copper-clad, paraboloid concrete shell construction consisting of 84 segments. It has an internal diameter of 33 metres. In November 2013, the Archdiocese of Berlin announced an architectural competition to redesign the interior and the structural surroundings. It justified the need for this by stating that developments in liturgy and theology as a result of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) would require corresponding structural developments and adaptations. In particular, the floor opening to the crypt would separate the priest too much from the congregation. The architectural competition was won by Sichau & Walter Architekten GmbH from Fulda with Leo Zogmayer from Vienna. The cathedral was then closed from 2018 until the end of November 2024 for renovation and conversion work. The new altar, a cast stone that incorporates stones of all kinds donated by parishioners from all parts of the archdiocese, which extends as far as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, was consecrated on 1 November 2023, the 250th anniversary of the original consecration of the church. Also based on an idea by Zogmayer, air bubbles are incorporated into the frosted windows, showing the starry sky over Berlin at the time of Christ's birth. However, in the dim light of the day when I was in the church, they were not visible. The reopening of the remodelled cathedral took place on the Feast of Christ the King, 24 November 2024. The remodelling had been highly controversial, especially as the post-war design was actually a listed building. I personally found the new design very cool and sterile, and I also found the dome design with visible concrete ribs much more interesting than the new smooth dome ceiling with mesh-like structures.

Here you can see a photo from the post-war interior architecture:
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over Lake St. Clair, forming the border between Ontario, Canada to the east, and Michigan, US to the west.
The Saint Clair River is visible at the top of the image and flows southwards, connecting the southern end of Lake Huron with Lake St. Clair, visible in the centre of the image. The river branches into several channels before reaching the lake, creating a seven-mouth delta. Much of the area surrounding the delta is used for agriculture.
The Thames River, visible east of the lake, begins in a swampy area of Ontario, before emptying its muddy waters into Lake St. Clair. Here the murky-coloured waters mix with the turquoise waters from the Saint Clair River, creating this fusion of colour visible in the heart-shaped lake. The waters then exit the lake via the Detroit River.
Lake St. Clair is approximately 40 km long and 40 km wide, with an average depth of around 3 metres. The lake is a popular site for fishing and boating, and more than 100 species of fish inhabit the lake including walleye, rainbow trout and muskellunge.
Detroit, the largest city in Michigan, is visible directly above the Detroit River. The city lies on a relatively flat plain and its extensive network of roads in the city are clearly visible in the image.
Detroit is nicknamed the “motor city” as it was the key hub for American auto-manufacturing for over a century. It was also home to the first mile of concrete highway, the first four-way three-colour traffic light and the world’s first urban freeway.
In this wintery image, captured on 26 March 2019, many of the frozen lakes northwest of the lake can be seen partially frozen over. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission allows inland bodies of water to be closely monitored.

The cross-topped ancient Egyptian obelisk that stands at the center of the square was placed here in 1586. It originally stood in Heliopolis, Egypt. It was first relocated by the ancient Romans to Alexandria, and later brought Rome.

The seagulls are adept at snatching pasties and ice creams right out of your hands and it can get very crowded with visitors and holiday-makers, but St Ives in West Cornwall is still a jewel of a place.
After travelling on the train from St Erth (trying to find somewhere to park can be a nightmare), this is the fabulous view you get as you make your way from the station into the town.
Blue skies, warm sunshine and low tide – couldn't have timed this visit any better!
