Beach - St. Maarten
We've had Philipsburg, St. Maarten as a cruise port several times, so we decided to just grab a water taxi and head over to the beach. When we got there the locals offer you a nice deal; two beach chairs, an umbrella and a bucket with 5 drinks for $20. Life is good.

Long exposure of St Giles Cathedral, Taken last night (25/03). I like the car trails going down the Royal Mile, But i feel that the lights on the right of the frame sort of ruins the image.

Suggestions welcome for the two missing words.
St Katherine Cree is a very unusual church for London, unusual for England, for it was one of the very few churches to be built during the Laudian years at the start of the 17th Century. More than this, it can proudly claim that the new church was consecrated by Archbishop Laud himself. Even more, the vestments he wore and the ceremony he oversaw on the occasion were both used in evidence against him at his trial before he was summarily beheaded by the Puritans. You don't get a much higher pedigree than that.
Under the circumstances then, it is perhaps a little disappointing that the church is rather traditional, rebuilt on the exact foundations of its medieval predecessor, and perhaps doesn't really reflect what we know of Laudian worship at all. As Elizabeth and Wayland Young observed, it answers no questions about its time, informing one only that it was a time of change and indecision.
The dedication is an abbreviation of St Katherine Creechurch or Christchurch, for this was the site of the Augustinian Priory of Holy Trinity Aldgate, the parish of which was known as Christchurch. The people of the parish used the Priory church, which the monks seem to have found something of a nuisance, so in the 14th Century they gave the parish its own church, which Simon Bradley suggests may have been the former cemetery chapel. As the parish of Christchurch had been made up of four earlier medieval parishes, the new church took its dedication from one of them, St Katherine.
At the dissolution the parish was offered the Priory church, but they turned it down, probably because it was in a poor state of repair, or perhaps they were merely proud of the new tower built against their own church some thirty years earlier. Instead, St Katherine Cree was rebuilt against the tower, and consecrated in 1628. The floor was raised up higher than the old church, the ceilings vaulted, the east window in its Catherine wheel style one of the most memorable in London. The church survived the Great Fire, and Samuel Pepys described how it was used by the Corporation as a meeting place in the days after it. This part of Leadenhall Street survived the Blitz, and so St Katherine Cree remains in all its singularity.

A view of St. Andrew Chapel, a small sanctuary that is open to visitors for quiet meditation during daytime hours through the week.

If you are a fan of authentic Arts and Crafts interiors, this cathedral is pure heaven. It is spectacularly detailed, and has a richness of textures that makes for a uniquely warm and lovely environment. You'll also love the church if you enjoy the music of a powerful pipe organ. When I visited, the organist was practicing LOUD and it was awesome to hear it :-)
This building was designed by architects Clarke and Faulkner, and it opened on October 9, 1875. Artist E.J. Neville Stent of New York, known for his English Arts and Crafts-style church interiors, added the cathedral's elaborate stenciling to the sanctuary interior in 1888-89.

St Patrick's Cathedral at Parramatta. Both hand held panos. The interior shot is a bit of a shocker with stitching but there was a small service on so I threw the camera in the door in electronic shutter mode and most of the shots failed due to the flickering of the fluorescent lights.
I'll be back for a proper shoot here one day.

Architect: JG Ferguson. A neo-Gothic church of 1872. Built of whinstone with sandstone dressings, It is a very ancient church and is the site of St. Columba's/Colmcille monastery, founded 546AD. In 1164 the ancient church was surrounded by a cashel and the new cathedral of Temple Mor was built outside the walls at the present site of Long Tower Chapel. From thenceforth, the little abbey on the site of St. Augustine's Church was called Dubh Regles (Black Church). In 1613, the Church, then named the Church of God in the Cittie of Derry, was used by the first settlers from England, Wales and Scotland and the cannonball containing the terms for surrender during the Siege 1688/1689 fell in the church graveyard. The present building dates from 1872 and was concecrated by Bishop William Alexander, husband of the famous hymn writer, Frances Cecil Alexander.

Photos from our road trip down the South Island of New Zealand in January. Dunedin, January 20, 2015 New Zealand. We had two nights in here.
The Octagon is the city centre of Dunedin, in the South Island of New Zealand. It is an eight-sided plaza bisected by the city's main street, and is also the central terminus of two other main thoroughfares. The Octagon is predominantly a pedestrian reserve, with grass and paved features, and is surmounted by a statue of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Several of Dunedin's significant buildings and institutions adjoin the plaza, which is also is a major hub for public transport in Dunedin.
Dunedin is a region of unique landscapes and fascinating cultural history.
Known as the Edinburgh of New Zealand, Dunedin is the country's city of the south, wearing its Scottish heritage with pride. Surrounded by dramatic hills and at the foot of a long, picturesque harbour, Dunedin is one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere.

@ St Helens, Corporation Street, another former London based Plaxton President bodied DAF DB250 now with Arriva North West.
In St Anthony NFLD Canada. There were 2 events for the town that evening. The first was the Canada Day celebrations at the local community center. The second was the arrival of this iceburg at the narrow channel that forms the mouth of the harbour. Old timers were concerned that "she may founder" (run aground) thus blocking entrance to the harbour.
11thC village church in Otford Kent.. The name is a contraction of Otterford, possibly derived from Offa, the King of Mercia who fought a battle at Otford against the Kentish Saxons in 776 at the Battle of Otford.Notable landmarks are the Archbishop's Palace, the duck-pond roundabout, and the scale model of the Solar System which claims to be "the largest scale model in the world".The Anglican parish church of Otford is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. Otford Methodist Church, Otford Evangelical Free Church and the Roman Catholic Church of the Most Holy Trinity also serve the village;[2] the buildings were registered for marriages in 1936,[3] 1959[4] and 1981[5] respectively. From circa 650 to 750, during the Early Medieval period, Polhill Anglo-Saxon cemetery was used as a place of burial. Archaeologist Brian Philp suggested that the community who buried their dead at Polhill likely lived at Otford, noting that from the centre of the village, the cemetery was visible

St Bridget's Church in Skenfrith was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier church from the early 1100s and is well worth a visit.
The church tower is unusual, having 5 foot thick walls and a dovecote. These were necessary in the troubled times of the Middle Ages when the villagers might have had to seek refuge.
St Bridget, the patron saint of the church, was an Irish Abbess who is thought to have lived between AD 454 and 521.
