Looking southwest toward Mount Princeton (14,204ft / 4,329 m) and the Collegiate Peaks in the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
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.
In 1070, Robert de Beaumont founded a collegiate church here. In the 12th century it became a priory. The church on this picture (now a ruin) was built in the 13th century and destroyed between 1820 and 1850.
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 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.
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.
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 Collegiate Church of St. Stephan, known in German as St. Stephan zu Mainz, is a Gothic hall collegiate church located in the German city of Mainz.
History
St. Stephan zu Mainz was originally built in 990 at the order of Archbishop Willigis, who also initiated the building of Mainz Cathedral. The church was founded on top of the highest hill in the town, most likely on behalf of Theophanu, the widow of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor. Willigis intended the church to be a site of prayer for the Empire.
The provost of the Collegiate Church administered one of the archdiaconates (a medieval organizational form similar to today's diaconates) of the Archbishopric of Mainz.
The building
The current church building dates from the late medieval era; construction of the main area of the church began in about 1267 and was completed in 1340. The successional building kept the guidelines of the floor plan of the original Willigis building and with it the design as a double choir church. St. Stephan is the oldest Gothic hall church in the Upper Rhine district, and is (besides Mainz Cathedral) the most important church in the city of Mainz.

Only a few changes have been made to the church since the 14th century. The cloister, for instance, was added between 1462 and 1499 to the southern side of the church, and the outer face of the church was updated during the Baroque period. In 1857 a great explosion in a nearby powder magazine (Mainz was a federal fortress in the 19th century) destroyed the baroque facing of the church.
St. Stephan was heavily damaged in the cause of the bombing of Mainz in World War II. The cloister was heavily damaged and was rebuilt between 1968 and 1971; the restoration of the huge western belfry was also completed at that time, albeit with some difficulty. The arches over the nave and the choir could not be saved and have been replaced by a flat wooden ceiling.
The church features a Gothic hall with a triple nave and quires at both the west and east ends. A large octagonal bell tower rises above the western choir. (Wikipedia)

Dodd Hall is a historic structure on the campus of The Florida State University in Tallahassee, in the U.S. state of Florida. The building currently houses the Department of Religion offices for Florida State University. The building is also home to the Heritage Museum and an ornate exemplification of Collegiate Gothic architecture.
This building was constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style of architecture and was built in 1923 to serve as the library for the Florida State College for Women. A smaller west wing was constructed in 1925, while larger south and east wings were built between 1928 and 1929.
Above the main entrance is the phrase, “The half of knowledge is to know where to find knowledge.” inside the lobby is a painted ceiling and a large mural donated by the Class of 1949, “The University, Sunrise to Sunset” by Artemis Housewright, an FSU alumna. The artwork depicts school history as well as local fauna and flora.
It was FSU's main library until the Strozier Library was constructed in 1956. After the library moved to Strozier, the building was home to the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Philosophy and WFSU-TV, which housed its studio there from 1960 until 1982. The building was named in 1961 for William George Dodd, an English professor who accepted a position with the FSCW in 1910 and became Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until 1944.
The Claude and Mildred Pepper Library opened in 1985 at Dodd Hall. It remained there until the new Pepper Center was dedicated in 1998.
Dodd Hall received a complete renovation in 1991 but retained both exterior and interior architectural integrity as did its' Auditorium, completed in 1993.
The Werkmeister Humanities Reading Room opened in 1991 as a quiet place for student study in Dodd Hall's west wing. It was named for Professor William H. Werkmeister and his wife, Dr. Lucyle T. Werkmeister in the Department of Philosophy. The professor was one of the nation’s foremost authorities in the field of philosophy and authored the book, "History of Philosophical Ideas in America", printed in 1949. Department lectures and symposia were often held in Werkmeister. On October 31, 1997, the Werkmeister Window was unveiled and dedicated. Design was by Professor Emeritus Ivan Johnson, crafted by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff and depicts four well-known FSU buildings. The window took a decade to build and is composed of over 10,000 glass pieces. It stands 22 feet tall, ten feet wide and completed the first phase of renovation.
For the eleventh annual Heritage Day, sixteen stained glass windows were unveiled and dedicated on April 8, 2011, in the Werkmeister. The windows were created by students enrolled in the Master Craftsman Program at FSU over a dozen years with money from private gifts and donations of individuals, classes and other groups. Six different groups of students worked on the windows, guided by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff.
In the years since, the Master Craftsman Studio continues their work creating and installing leaded-glass Commemorative Windows in the Heritage Museum of Dodd Hall.

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.
La Real Colegiata de Santa María es un conjunto monumental situado en la localidad de Roncesvalles (Navarra, España), considerado como el mejor ejemplo navarro del gótico, al más puro estilo de la región parisina de la Isla de Francia. Su construcción fue impulsada por el rey de Navarra Sancho VII, el Fuerte quién deseaba, al mismo tiempo, le sirviera de lugar de enterramiento como finalmente fue. Se levantó a principios del siglo XIII y acogiendo entre sus paredes una preciosa imagen de la Virgen del siglo XIV. Ha sufrido varias reformas y reconstrucciones tras varios contratiempos siendo la reconstrucción del siglo XVII la que afectó a todo el conjunto especialmente a la iglesia y claustro.
Hoy la iglesia presenta una planta de tres naves, la central de doble anchura que las laterales, que se dividen en cinco tramos a los que hay que añadir en la nave central una cabecera pentagonal; las laterales terminan en recto. El sistema de soportes está compuesto de pilares cilíndricos que separan las naves de grosor alternante, se apoyan en una basa y rematan en capitel decorado con doble faja de crochets de tratamiento muy simple. Los pilares sirven de apoyo a los arcos formeros apuntados y a las columnillas que soportan las cubiertas. Sobre los arcos formeros corre el triforio, formado en cada tramo de la nave central por cuatro arquillos apuntados sobre columnillas con el mismo tipo de capitel, galería que da paso sin elementos de separación al óculo en el que se dispone como único elemento decorativo una secuencia de arcos apuntados. En la cabecera se abren grandes ventanales decorados con vidrieras coloreadas modernas fabricadas en Alemania.
Preside el templo una magnífica escultura de la Virgen de Roncesvalles. Es una talla de madera, forrada de plata, gótica, de mediados del siglo XIV y realizada en Toulouse. Transmite a la perfección el espíritu gótico en lo que tiene de cercanía, naturalismo y familiaridad.

The Royal Collegiate Church of Santa Maria is a monumental complex located in the town of Roncesvalles (Navarra, Spain), considered the best example of Gothic Navarre, in the purest style of the Parisian region of the Isle of France. Its construction was promoted by the king of Navarre Sancho VII, the Strong who wished, at the same time, to use it as a burial place, as it finally was. It was erected at the beginning of the 13th century and it houses within its walls a beautiful image of the Virgin of the 14th century. It has undergone several reforms and reconstructions after several setbacks being the reconstruction of the seventeenth century which affected the whole especially the church and cloister.
Today the church has a plan of three naves, the central one of double width than the lateral ones, which are divided into five sections to which a pentagonal chancel must be added in the central nave; the lateral ones end in a straight line. The system of supports is composed of cylindrical pillars that separate the naves of alternating thickness, supported on a base and topped with a capital decorated with a double band of crochets of very simple treatment. The pillars support the pointed former arches and the small columns that support the roofs. Over the former arches runs the triforium, formed in each bay of the central nave by four pointed arches on small columns with the same type of capital, a gallery that gives way without separating elements to the oculus in which there is a sequence of pointed arches as the only decorative element. In the chancel there are large windows decorated with modern colored stained glass windows made in Germany.
A magnificent sculpture of the Virgin of Roncesvalles presides over the temple. It is a wood carving, covered with silver, Gothic, mid-fourteenth century and made in Toulouse. It transmits to the perfection the Gothic spirit in what it has of closeness, naturalism and familiarity.
