L'abbatiale Saint-Austremoine est une abbatiale française de style roman auvergnat située à Issoire, dans le département du Puy-de-Dôme.
L'abbatiale Saint-Austremoine est une ancienne abbatiale bénédictine construite durant le premier tiers du XIIe siècle et plus précisément vers 1130, ce qui en fait la deuxième des cinq églises majeures d'Auvergne.
Elle est dédiée à Austremoine de Clermont ou Stremonius, premier évêque de Clermont et évangélisateur de l'Auvergne à la fin du IIIe siècle.
C'est l'une des plus grandes églises de Basse Auvergne, 65m de long sur 17m de haut. Cette abbatiale construite en arkose (grès blond), correspond au plan-type des églises de pèlerinage, avec un chevet à déambulatoire et chapelles rayonnantes sur crypte abritant la chasse du XIIe siècle de St Austremoine.
Elle est remarquable par l'étagement de ses volumes et la richesse du décor du chevet : colonnettes, chapiteaux, modillons, mosaïques à motifs géométriques, médaillons sculptés des signes du zodiaque, etc.
Elle possède une surprenante polychromie intérieure et de magnifiques chapiteaux historiés (cycle de la Passion et de la Résurrection du Christ) dans le chœur.

Comes the morning
When I can feel
That there's nothing left to be concealed
Moving on a scene surreal
No, my heart will never
Will never be far from here
Sure as I am breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
And there's a reason I'll be
A reason I'll be back
As I walk
The Hemisphere
*I've got* my wish
To up and disappear
*I've been* wounded
*I've been* healed
Now for landing *I've been*
Landing *I've been* cleared
Sure as I'm breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom
In my flesh
I leave here believing
More than I had
This Love has got
No Ceiling
Ceiling in The Abbots Kitchen, Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset.
Around the time of the Domesday Book, Glastonbury Abbey , was the richest in England.
King Arthur and Queen Guinevere were reputed to be buried here. To raise funds at a time of hardship the monks dug the bones up and displayed them in a coffin in the Abbey. King Edward 1 and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine had the bones re-intered in a black marble tomb when the wood decayed.
The Holy Thorn Tree in the grounds is reputed to have grown from a staff belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, Christ's uncle. There are several Holy Thorns in Glastonbury, unusual in that they flower twice , at Christmas and Easter. A cutting of a flower is sent from the Abbot and Mayor to the queen every year.
All in all a place full of legends. There are plans , models and artists impressions of how impressive it would have looked before the dissolution of the monasteries.
This castle owes it's current decor due to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the building during the 19th century.
The building can be traced back to the Roman periods. It is reported that in 780 Charlemagne could have passed by the place on his way back from Rome, where he went to have his son baptized by the Pope.
In the 1970’s from the 20th century the castle was transformed into a hotel, only to close its doors in the 1990’s. The castle remains unused to this day.
The castle is built in different styles; including Moorish and Indian. It has 365 rooms and every room has a different theme.

The Real Alcázar de Sevilla is a historic royal palace. It was formerly the site of the Islamic-era citadel of the city, begun in the 10th century and then developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty (11th century) and the Almohads (12th to early 13th centuries). After the Castilian conquest of the city in 1248, the site was progressively rebuilt and replaced by new palaces and gardens. Seville, Spain
A church with lots of interest, flint flushwork, brick patching, medieval and post-medieval furnishings. Fine seventeenth century tablets, medieval wallpaintings. Mrs Mildred Holland, the wife of the vicar Revd William Holland painted the extraordinary ceiling between 1859 and 1862 as part of her husband's restoration of the church.
Shot this hiking through Macleay Park in Portland up to the Pittock Mansion. It was mostly foggy on the hike but every once in a while the sun sould break through the clouds and light up the forest ceiling.
