The hall was the home of the Towneley family from around 1200. The family once owned extensive estates in and around Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The hall not only contains the 15th-century Whalley Abbey vestments, but also has its own chapel – with a finely carved altarpiece made in Antwerp around 1525. The Hall is now a museum and Art Gallery
This was not a long hike by any means and it was a quiet place as we didn't even see another person the whole time. Just my type of falls!! This is 2 blended images to keep focus sharp!! Thanks for having a look.. Kris

Theme : "CARVED ARTPIECES" - January 23, 2020
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily. And the theme at Smile on Saturday is carved art pieces. I wish I could tell that I’m very good at carving stuff but unfortunately this not the case. I have no carving talent what os ever… I tried to carve something out of soap once and I almost lost 3 fingers… I’m very clumsy and the situation gets even worst when I manipulate sharp objects…
So for today’s picture we have a small wooden elephant and an exemple of my carving talent. I carved this pencil with my initials (I tried to make a heart but it was way more difficult, so I sticked to straight lines …) all by myself !! The elephant is part of my personal collection of elephants. And if I remember right, it was a gift from my aunt. He is very stubborn and he like to push on things with his trunk… Also he is a drinker so dont let him near your drink or it will disappear in no time ! But other than that he is very smart and funny. He was carved from a very hard wood, which makes him almost unbreakable… After all, he survived in my house for so many years....
I wish you all a beautiful day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Lichtenberg Mountain and Lake Valhalla from the top of Mount McClausland. I did go down to the lake after this first portion of the hike, but there were so many over night campers down there just waking up that I didn't want to disturb them, so I left quietly.
This is named the altar and around one can see carved old norse runes and newer names or initials
Still some more from the manmade cave, believed to be carved out by celtic munks some time before norse settlement in Iceland

Ezekiel 40:42 “There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Another shot from the Eastbourne coastline (South of England).
Was fascinated by some of the rocky landscapes, ended up taking more shot of the rocks than the beach on my last excursion here.
Enjoy your weekend and as always, thank you so much for the comments and faves across my stream :-)
Smoke on the horizon is from back burning. A method to reduce the amount combustible vegetation on the ground. View of Dales Gorge, Karijini National Park. Its climate can best be described as tropical semi-desert. A highly variable, mainly summer rainfall of 250–350 mm, often associated with thunderstorms and cyclones, is accompanied by temperatures frequently topping 40 degrees Celsius. The ideal times to visit the park are late autumn, winter and early spring. Winter days are warm and clear, but nights are cold and sometimes frosty.
Massive mountains and escarpments rise out of the flat valleys. The high plateau is dissected by breathtaking gorges, and stony, tree-lined watercourses wind their way over the dusty plain. Erosion has slowly carved this landscape out of rocks that are over 2,500 million years old. (information from Explore Parks W.A)
In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

Once a beautiful tree, today a sad skull. Carved by humans to impress, for many years, the wooden skull has witnessed the passing of Halloween nights, with hollow eyes and a heart full of rings.

The Dilwara Temples or Delvada Temples
are located about 2 1⁄2 kilometres from the Mount Abu settlement, Rajasthan's only hill station.
These Jain temples were built by Vimal Shah and designed by Vastupala, Jain minister of Dholka, between the 11th and 16th centuries and are famous for their use of white marble and intricate marble carvings.

The Gatehouse at Brockhampton is a rare and pleasing sight for adults and children alike. Designed as a visual pun of the manor house, it’s likely it is as much of a talking point today as it was when it was first built, nearly five hundred years ago. Dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) dates the gatehouse to around 1530-40. The delightfully decorative bargeboards carved with trailing vines are faithful reproductions of the decayed originals, but the studded door is a remarkable survival.
Recordo, quan era petit, haver anat amb els meus pares diverses vegades a un antiquari que hi havia en aquesta casa. Ara és un hotelet rural.
El poble empordanès de Peratallada, apart de ser un dels més bonics de Catalunya (vaja potser el més bonic i punt), també té un nom molt adient. Evidentment Peratallada ve de pedra tallada, i si mireu els fossats de les seves muralles entendreu ràpidament perquè.

==================================================
When I was a child I remember going (with my parents) to an antique shop that stood in this houses. Now is a beautiful little hotel.
The Catalan village of Peratallada (for me possibly the most beautiful in Catalonia) has a very complex medieval urbanism. Centered arround the castle of the Cruilles noble family, the village has several interconected walls and moats, only partly preserved. The stone-carved moats give the name to the village, Peratallada, which means 'cut/carved stone'.
In the storm's fury, the castle stands,
A ruin etched by time’s shifting sand.
Its stones whisper tales of love and sorrows,
Of battles won, and lost tomorrows.
The tempest roars, waves crash below,
Echoing grief that only ruins know.
Yet through the clouds, a golden beam,
A ray of hope—a fleeting dream.
Carved in stone, where silence dwells,
The ghost of love, casts ancient spells.
Its echoes linger, soft and low,
Guiding hearts through life's ebb and flow.
For even ruins, though torn apart,
Hold the weight of an enduring heart.
And as the sun breaks the stormy grey,
The castle whispers—love finds a way.

I composed this photograph while travelling The Road To The Sun, in Montana's Glacier National Park. It is an image, I believe, of Lake McDonald Valley, although I am open to being corrected by viewers with more sophisticated understandings of areas within the Park
Lake McDonald Valley is the hub of activity on the west side of Glacier National Park. Once occupied by massive glaciers that carved this area thousands of years ago, the valley is now filled with spectacular sights, hiking trails, and diverse species of plants and animals.
Glacier National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Montana, on the Canada–United States border, adjacent to Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada—the two parks are known as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. The park encompasses more than 1 million acres (4,100 km2) and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), more than 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem," a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 sq mi (41,000 km2).[
