Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire, UK.
Not really my genre of photography and I'm not kitted up.
But when In Rome.....
An abandoned Sanatorium high in the French mountains, left empty and silent except for this fully furnished Chapel.
Making the most of my 2 week Nik software trial to experiment with analogue camera effects.

Another shot from my visit to the New Forest. Went out for a early morning stroll to Abbots Well and the view was fantastic even though conditions was fairly bright.
Hope you like :)
This was taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. There are a couple of these little fountains placed around the Japanese Garden in the back of the gardens. I just had to sit my camera on the ledge because the water never goes over it. Enjoy!

The last part of our visit of the Romanesque churches in Le Puy-en-Velay (central France) takes us from today to the one that is possibly the most moving, and certainly the most spectacular of them all: the Saint Michael Chapel, perched on top of the Aiguilhe Rock, an enormous, 82 meters high geological dike made of hard basalt and left standing like a finger sticking out of the plain below by the erosion of all the sediment that once surrounded it.
There is only one way to get there: climb the hard, tall and uneven 268 steps carved out of the basalt, and in doing so, you will be following in the exact footsteps, not only of the millions of Compostela pilgrims that came here over the centuries, but also of innumerable historic figures, among which the Kings of France Charles VII, Louis XI and Charles VIII, who ascended the rock to pray under the humble vaults of the chapel.
According to persistent legends, the first edifice built on top of the rock of Aiguilhe (notice how close the name is to the French word aiguille, i.e., needle) was a Roman temple dedicated to Mercury. No trace of such a sanctuary was ever found by archæologists. The chapel that one can see today was built in two successive phases. First, the initial and very small square chapel, probably with three apses but only two remain today. This was built soon after 950, either by bishop Godescalc (who had been the first French pilgrim of Compostela in 950–51), or more probably by Truannus, dean of the canons of the cathedral chapter, duly authorized by Godescalc. I have not been able to find any definitive evidence pointing to one rather than the other. What is documented, however, is that the finished chapel was consecrated by the said bishop in 961. It was a pre-Romanesque monument.
Secondly, during the late 1000s, the primitive oratory was “surrounded” and augmented by a Romanesque chapel built on the flattened top of the dike. In the process, the probable third apse of the oratory was destroyed to open a way of access between the newly built “nave” and the square space of the oratory, repurposed as “choir”. The best way to understand the layout if to have a look at the floor plan drawn by architect Mallay in the 19th century, here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Plan_de_la_chapelle_Saint.... The imposing bell tower was also built at the same time.
General view of the dike and the chapel, looking to the southwest. The original, pre-Romanesque oratory is the squarish part that can be seen on the right. It is duly oriented and built in coarse apparel with lots of mortar. The Romanesque part “wraps” around the primitive edifice and is much better built.
The most recent part is the façade, from the late 1100s.
The chapel was listed as a Historic Landmark by Prosper Mérimée, General Inspector of the Monuments historiques on the very first list of 1840.
Nothing new but a different view.
Maybe some of you are bored of seeing always the same mountain here - but the wind blowing up the snow around the "Silberhorn" this year was a too good looking impression than to give it to the archives.

From my London summer 2013 Diary
Day 5, Somerset House / Nelson Staircase
It was a great surprise to go to the Somerset House to shoot an interesting staircase and find there another one even more interesting. The Nelson stair is different from any stair I photographed in my life (and I count some...), every floor is different from the other.
