Creditons Parish Church, more in the style of a small cathedral than a mere church. I tried something different this time - taking 3 photos for a vertorama, starting right at ground level stacked together in Photoshop. The full formal name of the parish church is: Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who Hung Thereon. The site was chosen for building a cathedral as early as the 10th century although the first cathedral did not survive through the centuries with a few rebuilds and modifications since then. The current form has been established in the 15th century. So lots of history on that site!

This morning, on the first day of spring, the sun was shining bright through the trellis on the edge of this carport. It was warm and breezy, a perfect spring day in Adelaide.
That's Teignmouth pier - unfortunately it seems like much of the pier will be demolished in the near future because no financial support to do the necessary reconstruction could be found. A shame really as this is one of the landmarks of the South Devon coast!
Only 100 meters away the Trier christmas market attracts thousands of tourists. But this small backstreet is in peace and quiet.

From days gone by.
A Green heron is positioned on a rustic snag at the edge of a quiet, sun-dappled pond. The water surrounding the perch is thick with a carpet of vibrant green duckweed and algae. The setting is dense with lush greenery, providing a natural, secretive backdrop in a marshy or wetland habitat. The lighting highlights the iridescence of the heron's back while casting soft reflections on the water's surface, capturing a moment of quiet, patient concentration.

Moonlight Over Punta Šilo Lighthouse 🌕⚓️
A low-angle night photograph of the stone lighthouse captured from the rocky coastline of Cape Punta Šilo on Krk Island. Long exposure at ISO 1600 accentuates the brilliant moonlight, its reflection on the water, and the detailed textures of the coastal rocks.

A detailed low-angle close-up of ancient Egyptian carvings on a dark stone granite surface with both hieroglyphic inscriptions and figurative representations.
The bas-relief carving is showcasing Seshat, an ancient Egyptian deity - the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing -
wearing her distinctive headdress featuring a seven-pointed star and two inverted plumes. She is shown in profile, a common artistic convention in ancient Egyptian art, with her arms extended in a record-keeping gesture.
Another deity figure - Thot - is partially visible to the left, also in profile, interacting with Seshat.
The background and surrounding areas are densely covered with intricate hieroglyphic carvings, which appear to be well-preserved. These inscriptions would likely detail the actions of the figures depicted, religious texts, or historical records related to the monument's construction or purpose.
The play of light and shadow highlights the depth and precision of the carvings, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the relief.
The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking upwards, which emphasizes the monumental scale of the carving and the structure it adorns. The natural sunlight casts dramatic shadows that enhance the contours and details of the figures and hieroglyphs.

The legend of Wawatam looms large. There is a freighter, a village, and a lighthouse named Wawatam.
From a memorial plaque (paraphrased):
"Chief Wawatam, an Ojibway chief protected a fur trader, Alexander Henry, during a 1763 Indian attack on Fort Michimillimac. His bravery and fidelity in protecting his "brother" Henry are commemorated in this carved white pine statue by Jerry Prior", placed in a small Mackinaw City park, on the shore of the Straits of Mackinaw.

Kerk en toren Den Andel, Groningen NL.
De losstaande toren van de kerk dateert uit de veertiende eeuw. Deze toren heeft een afgeknot tentdak en een later geplaatste dakruiter uit 1989. De klokken in de toren dateren uit 1653, vervaardigd door Jurjen Balthasar te Leeuwarden. In 1989 werd vanwege verval van de kerk een sloopvergunning aangevraagd welke werd geweigerd.
Nadat de aanvraag tot sloop werd afgewezen werd overgegaan tot restauratie in 1991. Hierbij werden oude middeleeuwse gewelfschilderingen ontdekt. Het betreft onder andere een riddergevecht en een gevecht tussen een panter en een draak. De kerk is in het bezit van een laat Romaans meloengewelf, maar dan zonder de ribben. Dit gewelf wordt gedragen door transversaalbogen en muraalbogen. De wandpijlers die het geheel droegen zijn weggehaald en vervangen door trekbalken. Aan de noordoostzijde in het koor bevindt zich een zogenaamde sacramentsnis voor het bewaren van de geconsacreerde hostie. In 2008 werd de kerk overgedragen aan de Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken (Wikipedia)
Church and tower Den Andel, Groningen NL.
The stand-alone tower of the church dates from the fourteenth century. This tower has a truncated tent roof and a ridge turret from 1989. The bells in the tower date from 1653, made by Jurjen Balthasar in Leeuwarden. In 1989, due to the dilapidation of the church, a demolition permit was requested which was refused.
After the demolition request was rejected, it was restored in 1991. Old medieval vault paintings were discovered. It includes a knight fight and a fight between a panther and a dragon. The church has a late Romanesque melon vault, but without the ribs. This vault is supported by transverse and wall arches. The wall pillars that supported the whole have been removed and replaced by draw beams. On the northeast side in the choir is a so-called sacrament niche for the storage of the consecrated host. In 2008 the church was transferred to the Foundation Oude Groninger Kerken (Wikipedia)

There are a few of these old mansions which formerly belonged to rich businessmen in the city. Unhappily some of them have been left to rot and are in a very poor state of repair. This is sad because those that have been renovated are magnificent.

Thank you for taking the time to view this photo.
She was hunting in a distant field when I first located her. For a brief moment I got distracted and I lost her completely. However, she was following a ditch between two hills, so I calculated her path of movement and came back to another trail where I thought I might find her. Sure enough, after 30 mins, I suddenly hear the ground squirrels screeching. As I look she came running down the hill chasing the squirrels.
I am not much familiar with bobcats yet, so I don't know whether she is inexperienced or not. But I never saw her catching a single squirrel in her numerous attempts. However, my estimate of her path was precise enough that I did not need to move, just needed to lie down for this image. I was also prepared for this situation, ready with the proper camera settings and lens.
She looks at me, nonchalantly cross the road, and at that moment I got distracted again. Three bikers came rushing down behind me with loud talks. I needed to move from the middle of the trail. So I lost her again, but for a brief moment.
I will continue with this bobcat and it's evening prowl. At the same time tell the story as it unfolded. It was an evening of learning, frustration and observation of bobcat-human interactions.
Two juvenile Common Buzzard gather at a small water source in the semi-arid steppe of Los Monegros, Aragón. One bird spreads its wings and calls loudly, its reflection mirrored in the still surface, while the other watches from the sandy bank. The warm tones of the dry landscape highlight the harsh yet beautiful character of this Spanish steppe habitat.
