The former collegiate church of St. Martin and St. Mary (short Collegiate Church) in Kaiserslautern is Protestant parish today. It is the oldest hall church between the Rhine and Saar and among the most important Gothic churches in the Pfalz.

The collegiate church of the former monastery is located in Vornbach, near the banks of the Inn.
Established in 1050 by Countess Himiltrud von Vornbach as a collegiate monastery, the monastery was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1094.
Around 1125 a double-towered basilica was built as a monastery church. This church was rebuilt between 1630 and 1637 in the Baroque style with the inclusion of the Romanesque surrounding walls. The church was redecorated in Rococo style between 1728 and 1733. Franz Ignaz Holzinger stuccoed the interior of the church while Innocent Anton Warathy paints the frescoes. On the west gallery there is an organ by Johann Ignaz Egedacher, which is largely preserved in the original.
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

Around 1440, in the reign of King James II, William Crichton, the Lord Chancellor of Scotland, began this building, which may have been the site of an even older Christian shrine, and by 1449 his Collegiate Church was complete.
Like most (if not all) powerful men (and church builders) William Crichton was a evil, murdering, basty nastard. In 1440, Crichton and Sir Alexander Livingston invited the 16-year-old William Douglas, 6th Earl of Douglas and his brother to dinner in Edinburgh Castle, and murdered them in front of the ten years old King James II who reportedly pleaded for their lives to be spared. This brutal incident of murder and betrayal of hospitality has become known as the ‘Black Dinner’ and was an inspiration for the famous "Red Wedding" massacre in the Game of Thrones series
The Church is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons between 2 and 5pm, May to September.

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.
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.
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.

What your looking at is a piece of classic gothic architecture on the outside of Lisgar Collegiate Institute. I visited this place on friday and couldn't resist posting this.
Lincluden Collegiate Church, known earlier as Lincluden Priory or Lincluden Abbey, is a ruined religious house, situated to the north of the Royal Burgh of Dumfries, Scotland. Situated in a bend of the Cluden Water, at its confluence with the River Nith, the ruins are on the site of the Bailey of the very early Lincluden Castle, as are those of the later Lincluden Tower. This religious house was founded circa 1160 and was used for various purposes, until its abandonment around 1700. The remaining ruins are protected as a category A listed building, and as a scheduled monument.
"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.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

A visit to Tattershall Castle View of the Collegiate Church of Holy Trinity as seen from the roof of Tattershall Castle. Also in view is the old guardhouse.
Holy Trinity Church, Tattershall There was a Norman chapel at Tattershall, but no trace of this remains. The present building was begun in c. 1465 under the provisions of the will of Ralph Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, who owned Tattershall Castle, and was intended to serve a college of priests founded at Tattershall by Cromwell in 1440. The college was dissolved in 1545 as part of the English Reformation. In 1754 or 1757 most of the medieval stained glass in the church was removed and sold, being installed primarily in Burghley House and St Martin's Church, Stamford; the remaining glass at Tattershall has been re-assembled in the east window.
The church is known for its architecture, being described as "Lincolnshire's grandest Perpendicular church". More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church,_Tattershall
