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.
In Tum, not far from Łęczyca, there is a powerful collegiate church that is an example of a well-preserved Romanesque style church, the greatest example in Poland. Church Saint Mary was built in the 12th century, but the exact date of the beginning of construction is unknown.
The Romanesque building, built of granite, sandstone and field stone, was not only an obvious religious function, but also a shelter for local population. The church was destroyed many times by war and then rebuilt. After being destroyed during World War II, already in 1947 was start rebuilt. It was decided to rebuild it as a significant example of Romanesque architecture with the restoration of the church's original style, i.e. Romanesque style. The side naves, however, have Gothic elements and the ceiling above the main nave is made of concrete. This solution prevents possible collapse of old walls.

W Tumie, niedaleko od Łęczycy, znajduje się potężna kolegiata będąca przykładem świetnie zachowanego kościoła w stylu romańskim, najwspanialszy przykład w Polsce. Kościół pw. Najświętszej Marii Panny był zbudowany w XII wieku, ale dokładna data rozpoczęcia budowy świątyni w stylu romańskim nie jest znana.
Romańska budowla, zbudowana z granitu, piaskowca i kamienia polnego, prócz oczywistej funkcji religijnej, była również schronieniem dla okolicznej ludności. Kościół był wielokrotnie niszczony działaniami wojennymi a następnie odbudowywany. Po zniszczeniach w czasie II Wojny Światowej, już w 1947 roku rozpoczęto jego odbudowę. Postanowiono ją odbudować jako znaczący przykład architektury romańskiej z przywróceniem kościołowi pierwotnego stylu, czyli stylu romańskiego. W nawach bocznych zachowano jednak elementy gotyku a strop nad nawą główną wykonany jest z betonu. Rozwiązanie to zapobiega ewentualnemu zawaleniu się starych murów.
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 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.
I went to Dinant, Belgium, on a sunny Sunday in october. It is a beautiful town in Wallonia in Belgium. The church is located under a giant rock and it one of the most interesting location of a church I have ever seen.
About Dinant:
Dinant is a Walloon city and municipality located on the River Meuse in the Belgian province of Namur, Belgium. The Dinant municipality includes the old communes of Anseremme, Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, Dréhance, Falmagne, Falmignoul, Foy-Notre-Dame, Furfooz, Lisogne, Sorinnes, and Thynes.
The city's landmark is the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame (illustration, right), rebuilt in Gothic style on its old foundations after falling rocks from an adjacent cliff partially destroyed the former Romanesque church in 1227. Several stages for paired west end towers were completed before the project was abandoned in favor of the present central tower with its highly-recognizable onion dome and facetted multi-staged lantern.
Above the church rises the vertical flank of the rocher surmounted by the fortified Citadel that was first built in the 11th century to control the Meuse valley. The Prince-Bishops of Liège rebuilt and enlarged it in 1530; the French destroyed it in 1703. Its present aspect, with the rock-hewn stairs (408 steps), is due to rebuilding in 1821, during the United Kingdom of the Netherlands phase of Dinant's checkered history. Further fighting took place during the World War I: among the wounded was Lieut. Charles de Gaulle.

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.
A Catholic church built in the sixteenth century. It was founded by Juan Téllez-Girón, 4th Count of Ureña.
The interior contains a nave and two aisles, five chapels, and a presbytery. The interior of the church is richly decorated in Renaissance style. It has a Baroque main altar, constructed in the eighteenth century, and the chapels on the sides are all very attractive. In the interior, the huge sacristy is now a museum that exhibits a collection of five paintings by José de Ribera (El Españoleto) and a carving by Juan de Mesa.
On the lower level is the Pantheon of Dukes, which was built in the Plateresque style in 1545 and contains a small chapel with an altarpiece attributed to Roque Balduque, a painting of Hernando de Esturmio, and the tombs of the Dukes of Osuna.

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 small town of Dunbar is in East Lothian on the south-east coast of Scotland. Dunbar's strategic location gave rise to a history full of incident and strife, but Dunbar has now become a quiet dormitory town popular with workers in nearby Edinburgh, who find it an affordable alternative to the capital itself.
Dunbar is a traditional fishing town and has three separate harbours. At one time its castle was of importance but it now lies in ruins at the end of one of the harbours.
Dunbar Parish Church, in the centre of the picture, dates from 1821 and is on the site of the first collegiate church, in 1342, to have been established in the Lothians.

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 sky lights up brilliantly above the Collegiate Peaks and the valley of the Arkansas River in central western Colorado as the sun makes its way toward its appearance on the eastern horizon. The clouds were streaming in as a storm was approaching from the southwest, the first of the season to drop snow on the higher peaks a day later. Mounts Princeton (left, 14,204’/ 4329 m) and Yale (right, 14,202’ 4329 m) are two of the eleven 14,000 foot peaks visible from this vantage point at 9300’ in the hills above the aptly named town of Buena Vista.
Aside from the amazing view the foreground area has relatively high biodiversity, with a mix of plants and animals associated with the Great Plains (e.g. grama grass, pronghorn), high desert (pincushion cacti), Great Basin (pinyon trees), and upper montane (Douglas fir and aspen trees).
