A tranquil coastal landscape from Orange Hill in New Brunswick, Canada, captured on a foggy morning, August 19, 2023. The view extends toward the point of St. Martin's Bay, where pine trees stand tall atop the rugged cliffs, shrouded in mist. The overcast sky enhances the serene and mysterious atmosphere, blending the sea and sky into a seamless horizon. Nestled along the Bay of Fundy, this area is celebrated for its dramatic tides, lush forests, and breathtaking natural beauty. This peaceful scene captures the quiet magic of New Brunswick's coastal charm."

The church of St. Nicholas (Nikolaikirche), built in 1381–1460, with very lofty vaulting, together with the Marienkirche, are regarded as good examples of the influence exercised in these northern provinces by the large church of St Mary in Lübeck.
When other Wismar churches suffered bomb damage during the war, many works of art and other objects were brought here. There is a general sense that this church could do with a good clean, as there is a thick layer of dust over just about everything in the interior.
This relatively small organ sits in the choir area. The principal instrument is mounted high up on the rear wall of the church.
The east end of the choir preserves much of its original stained glass, believed to have been installed c1340. The two easternmost clerestorey windows on the north and south sides respectively are more or less complete and contain an array of sainted figures beneath rich canopies.They are less well known than the more famous east window but are important survivals in their own right.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

It's been very hot and I've been so busy that I haven't been out to shoot. While thinning out my old images I came across this one from 2005 and decide to post it.

Fulmar were one of the staples of the St. Kildan diet, and were harvested in their thousands each year. Records for 1910 show that 9,600 Fulmar were caught.
The birds were not only useful for their meat, but their feathers were also used as part-payement for rent of the land. In a report on the island in 1875 it was noted that 566 gallons of Fulmar oil, 2103 lbs of black feathers and 1675 of grey feathers were collected that year. The oil, which is foul smelling, was used by the people of St. Kilda as a fuel for lamps.
Fulmar oil was also used to anoint the umbilical cord of newborn children. This may well have been the reason why so many newborns died of tetanus within a few days of birth. A district nurse sent to the island stopped the practice of anointing with the oil and deaths from tetanus ceased.
Fulmars are related to the albatross and are identifiable by the prominent, tubular nostrils on top of their bills. Breeding pairs are monogamous and rejoin their mates each year at the same nest site. Fulmars are one of the few species of bird with a well-developed sense of smell, which they employ to detect fish oil scents when searching for prey.
In Britain, Northern Fulmars historically bred on St. Kilda, and spread into northern Scotland in the 19th century, and to the rest of the United Kingdom by 1930.
These three Fulmar are sitting on one of the cleits in the village and began calling loudly as I passed by.

Texas Historical Commission Marker Text:
Organized 1892. Present church was erected in 1918 to replace structure destroyed by cyclone. Lindsay settlers, Germans whose lives centered in the church, furnished much manual labor for the building and saved old windmill towers to be used as reinforcements in concrete. The interior is lavishly decorated with unusual frescoes, stained-glass windows, and carved altars. Swiss artist was Fridolin Fuchs. Architecture is neo-Romanesque. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark--1970.
