The Collegiate Church of Our Lady is a 13th-century Gothic cathedral in Dinant, a city in Waloon Belgium, on the banks of the River Meuse. The collegiate church replaced a 10th-century Romanesque church which collapsed in 1228, leaving only the North door. Its most iconic part is the separate 16th century pear-shaped bell tower.
I believe that's Mt. Yale on the left and Mt. Columbia on the right. This shot was taken from CR300 that goes out to Ruby Mountain, adjacent to the Arkansas River.
The idea on this night was to try to get a shot of the Comet Lemmon. And while it was visible and I did get some pics of it the view of the comet was somewhat disappointing. The view of the Milky Way above the observation building was much better. Cheers! Colorado, USA
The collegiate church in Ebrach, Upper Franconia, near Bamberg, is arguably a unique feature of the German church landscape.
Built between 1200 and 1285 in the Gothic style, its interior boasts a magnificent early neoclassical design. Even the earliest furnishings are rich. Thirty-one altars adorn the church. These were all lost during the Peasants' War. Ebrach Abbey, however, also experienced ups and downs throughout its history.
Shortly after the Peasants' War, the abbey experienced a period of prosperity. However, this period was short-lived. During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops marched through Franconia in 1631. The abbot and monks fled. Beforehand, the abbot had the church treasure brought to Würzburg. There, it was stolen by the Swedes and disappeared without a trace. Only the abbot's staff later resurfaced; it can be admired in the National Museum in Stockholm.
At the end of the Thirty Years' War, only eight monks remained at home in Ebrach.
The monastery recovered after the war, and the number of members almost returned to its pre-war level.
Shortly after taking office, Abbot Wilhelm II Rosshirt decided to have the church interior redesigned.
Giovanni Battista Brenni created the magnificent stucco surround of the sacristy between 1696 and 1697.
But what we see today, this interior design in gold and white with red stucco marble columns, is a masterpiece by the Würzburg court stucco artist Materno Bossi. He thus alienated the interior of the church while preserving its Gothic character and tectonics.
This redesign initially met with unpopularity, but today it is admired and celebrated.
Since 1066, Westminster Abbey has been the location of the coronations of 40 English and British monarchs and a burial site for 18 English, Scottish, and British monarchs. At least 16 royal weddings have taken place at the abbey since 1100.
This abbey, known to millions of people around the world, is formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, an Anglican church in the City of Westminster, London, England.
The Collegiate Church of St. Mary and St. Alexius (Polish: Kolegiata w Tumie) is an encastellated Romanesque church located in the village of Tum near Łęczyca, in central Poland. It was constructed out of granite blocks and sandstone in the mid-12th century.
The church was built using the opus emplectum technique. It has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, a twin-tower west façade, and two apses (west and east). It was reconstructed in the 15th, 18th and mid-20th centuries; during the latest reconstruction the church returned to its simpler Romanesque form and round turrets at the east were added. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of 12th century.
The temple stands on top of a holm or islet which was once surrounded by wetlands and marshes. There is evidence from a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II that a wooden monastery of the early Benedictine Brothers pre dated the church by at least a century.Older excavations and historical analysis suggested that the monastery was founded by Boleslaus I, the first King of Poland, and Saint Adalbert of Prague in approximately 997 AD. However, more recent studies prove that it was most likely founded during the Restoration period, in the second half of the 11th century. The monastery was demolished to make way for the current church.
Historian and painter Władysław Łuszczkiewicz noted that the islet (and the nearby mound) served as a small fortified stronghold, or gord.[5] He justified his claim with the location particulars, as churches would be founded in the vicinity of populated settlements or castles than on isolated land.
The construction was initiated by Janik, Archbishop of Gniezno, in around 1149.[4] According to a legend, the local townsfolk from Łęczyca believed that the dimples in stonework were made by the hands of Devil Boruta, who attempted to destroy the church. The unfinished structure was consecrated on 21 May 1161 by officials and princes.

Crediton is a small town in Devon, approximately 7 miles north-west from the City of Exeter.
Crediton was the site of a Saxon Cathedral for the Diocese of Devon and Cornwell until the seat was moved to Exeter in 1050 and a new collegiate church was built in the early 12th century. The current nave and chancel date back to the 15th century.

From above Cottonwood Pass at about 12,300 feet looking northeast into the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and at the Continental Divide We are hoping there will be a good snowpack this winter season that will blanket this area. On average this area gets anywhere from 20 - 30 feet of snow.

The Stiftskirche St. Gallus und Otmar (Collegiate Church of St. Gall and Otmar) is a Roman Catholic church in the city of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Part of the Abbey of St. Gall, it has been the cathedral of the Diocese of St. Gallen since 1847.
Completed in 1767, the cathedral was designed by Peter Thumb, who also designed the Abbey's famous library. Among its rich decorations are frescoes painted mostly by Josef Wannenmacher, and the most complete set of historic church bells in Switzerland. The south altar features a bell brought back by Saint Gall himself from Ireland, one of the three oldest surviving bells in Europe.
Ok, out of the city for a while. The collegiate peaks are part of the collection of mountain peaks found in Colorado, over 14,ooo ft.
The collegiate church was built at the end of the 12th century with clear Burgundian influences. The architectural style shows elements that point to the transition from the late Romanesque to the early Gothic period. Construction of the choir, the apse and the crypt was finished before 1210. The inside of the church was altered significantly in the 14th century. Major decorative work in the baroque style was undertaken by provost Jean-Frédéric de Grandvillers between 1660 and 1702. The crypt was built for the sarcophagus containing the relics of St. Ursicinus, but his mortal remains were never kept there; they are buried under the main altar of the collegiate church.
Cold winters day, sat in grounds of Hull Collegiate, waiting for Daisy, and liked the foliage on this tree. Not shot in monochrome but you'd never know!

"The Collegiate Church of St Mary is a Church of England parish church in the town of Warwick, England. It is in the centre of the town just east of the market place. It is a member of the Greater Churches Group.
The church has the status of collegiate church as it had a college of secular canons. In governance and religious observance it was similar to a cathedral (although not the seat of a bishop and without diocesan responsibilities). There is a Bishop of Warwick, but this is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Coventry.
Warwick is a market town and the county town of Warwickshire, England. It lies near the River Avon, 11 miles (18 km) south of Coventry and just west of Leamington Spa and Whitnash. Its population was 31,345 in 2011. Signs of activity date to the Neolithic period and unbroken habitation to the 6th century AD. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century; Warwick Castle was built during the Norman conquest of England. Warwick School claims to be the country's oldest boys' school. The earldom of Warwick, created in 1088, controlled the medieval town and built town walls, of which Eastgate and Westgate survive. The castle grew into a fortress, then a country house. The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694 destroyed much of the town. Warwick missed 19th-century industrialisation, but the population has grown almost sixfold since 1801." - info from Wikipedia.
