اللهم اهدنا فيمن هديت، وعافنا فيمن عافيت، وتولنا فيمن توليت، وبارك لنا فيما أعطيت، وقنا وأصرف عنا شر ما قضيت، فإنك تقضي ولا يقضى عليك، إنه لا يذلك من واليت ولا يعز من عاديت تباركت ربنا وتعاليت، لك الحم على ما قضيت ولك الشكر على ما أعطيت، نستغفرك الله من جميع الذنوب ونتوب إليك

Tried a new place this year. Picked it badly, didn't get too much in the way of high shots due to my position. So this is an amalgamation of 18 shots played around together in Photoshop.
Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks for keeping up to this date, as much as I keep it up to date :P
PS (02/01/2012) - Thanks very much for getting this one explored you guys! First one and First on of the year :)
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Aquesta torre, construida cap al s. XVII, ocupa part del espai on es trobava l'església medieval. Fou objecte de moltes de les primeres fotografies de la historia, tant en "dibuixos fotogenics" com en calotips.
Com aquest, de 1839 o 40:

La mansió de Lacock Abbey, al poble del mateix nom, al sud d'Anglaterra és un indret força especial. Com el seu nom indica, fins a la fi del monasticisme a Anglaterra, al s. XVI, era un convent catolic. A partir d'aquell moment fou comprat i rehabilitat com a mansió rural. De fora sembla el tipic palauet, però per dintre conserva bona part dels espais monastics d'estil gotic (però no l'església)
Si be en anys recents s'ha fet famós com un dels llocs on es va rodar Harry Potter, és molt més interessant per ser un dels llocs on s'inventà la fotografia. Dic un dels llocs perquè hi ha divesos llocs que ho poden dir, tant Paris mateix (daguerrotips) com Chalons-s.-Saone (heliografía).
Però fou aquí a Lacock Abbey on William Henry Fox Talbot, un ric terratinent britanic, va aconseguir el primer negatiu de la historia el 1835, i posteriorment ho perfeccionà cap al calotip, fotografia amb negatius de paper que es feu servir sobretot entre 1840 i 1880.

=====================
This corner tower, built where the medieval abbey church was, in the XIX Century was object of quite a few of the first photographies in history. Henry Fox Talbot took photogenic drawings and calotypes, from it.
This one dates from c.1839:

The mansion of Lacock Abbey, in the village of the same name (Wiltshire) is a rather unique place. Especially for its photographic history.
As its name indicates, until the end of monasticism in England, in the XVI Century, it was a Catholic convent. From that moment it was bought and rehabilitated as a rural manor. From the outside it looks like a typical mansion, but inside it preserves a good part of the monastic spaces in the Gothic style (but not the church, which was razed)
If in recent years it has become famous as one of the places where Harry Potter was filmed (in those cloisters), it is much more interesting for being one of the places where photography was invented. I say one of the places because there are several places that can say it, both Paris itself (daguerreotype) and Chalons-s.-Saone (heliography). But here is all much more preserved as it was.
It was here at Lacock Abbey that William Henry Fox Talbot, a wealthy British landowner, obtained the first negative in history in 1835, and later perfected it into the calotype, paper negative photography, that was used mainly between 1840 and 1880 .

The weather forecast was pretty grim with Storm Bert approaching (why do they always have such friendly names?), but apart from the biting wind and getting soaked, I am pleased we decided to go for the hike!
