The "Cabin Window at Star Park" refers to a 2011 photograph looking downriver from the boat launch at Gold Star Park on the Coosa River in Wetumpka, Alabama, capturing the scenery at twilight. The area, known for its scenic views and nearby "Big Fish" movie sets on an island, features tranquil riverfront scenes.
This one was pretty out of the blue. I honestly had no idea what to do this afternoon, but I really wanted to go for another miniature-photo attempt. So after a few hours of brainstorming, I came up with this.

Many of the Mexican people have very strong Catholic beliefs, which is very obvious with all of the beautiful old churches around the area. This church is located near the town square of San Jose del Cabo.
St Nicholas's church at Loxley clearly dates back to pre-Norman times, with herringbone masonry surviving on the north side of the chancel, though the building we see today is the result of later rebuildings in the late 13th century and again in the 18th century; which left a mostly Georgian church with a medieval tower.
The exterior is most attractive and it's chequered history is readily apparent, particularly the south vestry wall which is largely composed of reused 17 th century gravestones.
The interior is very light thanks to the characteristically Georgian plastered walls and plain glazing (a recent window of St Nicholas in the south chancel wall is the only stained glass). The most obviously ancient areas are the north wall of the chancel and the plain chancel arch which is presumably Norman. There is also a 12th century pillar stoup to the right of the altar. A contemporary touch is added by the lectern which has an embroidered design by Anthony Green.
The nave is entirely 18th century except for the 13th century arch leading into the base of the tower. A c1250 coffin lid with foliated cross design is displayed here.
The church is generally kept open for visitors though I nearly gave up after my first attempt having found the west door rather stiff!
