Santa Eulàlia d'Erill la Vall, UNESCO World Heritage Romanesque church (XI-XII c.). Catalonia. Spain.
Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Centre. This fountain kept getting turned on and off for some reason while I was there so it wasn't fully working this day. Although the grey clouds helped and gave it a cool, dark look with the help of the wind blowing the water about water. This was enhanced by the power of the building in the background.
I took low, medium and high exposure shots and then put them together in Photomatix Pro 4. I put the strength right up and increased the saturation and luminosity up slightly. I then increased the blacks and whites slightly so the increased the intensity of the image a bit. The rest of the options can be adjusted to your own likings.
Mining tycoon George Coleman built this theater along Route 66 in 1929 as a place for travelers to stop along their journey. The elaborately decorated arena showed movies as well as hosting music and Vaudeville acts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Walking along the high street here I saw so many different big American trucks and cars, of course they are all from the base nearby. This church was open and is a lovely place to visit. There are some interesting wall paintings to be seen here,and there are a lot of tombs. Some of the sructure here was taken from nearby St Peter at Eriswell. I met a nice chap here who was the yoof leader (his words not mine) he was very welcoming.
A lovely area round this way, especially if you love big jets! My only problem with this area is that the churches are few and far between, I suppose thats because I am spoiled, living in Woodbridge there is a church a stones throw away in every direction!
The architecture of the church is 13th century and although there is evidence of a church at Much Marcle at the time of the Norman Conquest, it was not necessarily on this site.
The church was restored in 1875-8 under the supervision of the architect Ewan Christian. He was architectural adviser to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners from 1850 and supervised many important buildings including the National Portrait Gallery in London.
St Bartholomew's is of considerable architectural and historical interest; it has some of the finest effigies in South Herefordshire, and includes the famous Grandison tomb of Blanche Mortimer.
The nave and chancel date from about 1220.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia ( Spanish: Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia), also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Spain.
The cathedral was constructed throughout the 13th to 15th centuries, with the principal work done in the 14th century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (Font de les Oques) was completed about 1450. The neo-Gothic façade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that was common to Catalan churches in the 19th century. The roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical.
The cathedral was constructed over the crypt of a former Visigothic chapel, dedicated to Saint James, which was the proprietary church of the Viscounts of Barcelona, one of whom, Mir Geribert, sold the site to Bishop Guislebert in 1058. Its site faced the Roman forum of Barcelona.
It is a hall church, vaulted over five aisles, the outer two divided into chapels. The transept is truncated. The east end is a chevet of nine radiating chapels connected by an ambulatory. The high altar is raised, allowing a clear view into the crypt.
The cathedral is dedicated to Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, a young virgin who, according to Catholic tradition, suffered martyrdom during Roman times in the city.
The body of Saint Eulalia is entombed in the cathedral's crypt.
