The elegant village of Semur, listed as Un des plus beaux villages de France (“One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France”), although I am not at all sure it deserves the title when compared to truly stunning villages such as Èze, Pérouges or Collonges-la-Rouge, is the capital of the small barony of Brionnais, at the extreme southwestern tip of the old duchy of Burgundy.
The Semur family of local barons would have gone basically unnoticed through History, had it not been for Hugues, born in 1024, who went on to become probably the most famous abbot of Cluny, having succeeded Odilon de Mercœur from 1049 until 1109. Builder of the so-called “Cluny III” abbey church, the largest ever in Christendom, he considerably expanded the Order of Cluny (which was part of the Benedictines) all over Europe during his 60-year abbacy.
One of the most powerful people (and one of the most learned minds) of his time, later canonized by the Church as saint Hugues (Hugh in English), he sent architects and builders from Cluny to his native small town of Semur-en-Brionnais to build this church dedicated to Saint Hilaire (Hillary in English). Hugues himself never saw the church being built, as its oldest parts (traditionally, the apse and apsidioles, the choir and transept, and the beginning of the nave) were erected during the years 1115-1130, but then construction was interrupted and did not resume until around 1170. The portals were finished and decorated during the 1180s, towards the end of the Romanesque age, at a point when many consider the Romanesque art was already “perverted” by mannerisms announcing the age of the Gothic.
Saint-Hilaire was turned into a college church in 1274 when Baron Jean de Semur and the bishop of Autun jointly incorporated a college of 13 canons to take care of the Opus Dei in the church. Damaged during the Hundred Years War (1364), and yet again during the Wars of Religion (1576), the church was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1862 and the stone vaulting which had been destroyed and replaced temporarily by a timber roof, was rebuilt.
Being the last Romanesque church ever built in the Brionnais, Saint-Hilaire skillfully incorporates tradition from the local art, and inputs from the most noble and powerful house of Cluny, which was then undoubtedly the dominant power in Western Christendom, above and beyond the Pope —in practice, if not in principle.
The smallness of the almost cozy apse is in sharp contrast with the ample proportions of the three-level nave, which is typically Cluniac. The joints were painted over during the 19th century, so it is difficult to assess the true quality of the apparel, but the light is certainly beautiful and gives off an impression of peace.

This scene from the Lake District was truly beautiful sat near the top of Hallin Fell taking in this delightful view for well over half and hour truly absorbing how scenery in this area of the United Kingdom is wonderful compared to were I live in Kent. But also never take for granted the scenery in your own neck of the world as that can also be beautiful !
Hope you like :)

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Quiet Solitude
This was a very psychically demanding image for me to make. Now I’m not a couch potato, nor am I the 30 year old something basketball playing triathlete that I once was. I’m near 70 and not in too bad condition. But here I am looking at an image I want (And need) to make and it is about 40 plus feet (14 meters) down a very steep cliff. Anyway, I slide on my butt down the cliff and make it to the rocks with sand filled shoes. Then while I’m setting up. I get a call on the mobile and while getting the phone from my pocket a wave comes up. I’m backing up, not looking behind and fall over a rock onto my side nearly bashing my head on another rock. At this time unbeknown to me my 10 stop and 6 stop ND Filters and Remote fall out of my pocket washing out to sea. So I brush off, try to screw my other 10 stop and 6 stop ND Filter together, but that’s not happening. Meantime I’m looking for my other ones that washed away. The Creator is very kind and a few rocks over, there they are. So I clean them up and use them to make the 8-minute image. Now it’s back up the cliff. I had figured I’d go down the cliff and get the image and worry later about getting back up. Time to pay the piper and climb back up that steep sandy cliff. Well, to make this long story shorter it was difficult, took a few rest stops to catch my breath, but I’m here to tell the story and say I was a very happy guy when I saw the top of that cliff.

Thames River, London. It's amazing how quickly the tide comes in. I had walked down the steps onto the low tide riverbank and made my way to a spot I initially wanted to photograph from. Set my tripod up, attached the correct ND filters and started to set up the shot. My feet were dry at this point and when a boat went past, the wake washed toward me a little. A few minutes later, another boat, the water getting a bit closer. 3 minutes later I am standing in a cm of water. Time to move. I didn't even get a shot off. I moved 10 meters away and higher on the bank and set this shot up. After the long exposure was taken I looked over and where I was initially standing was already under a foot of water.
This is a 2 minutes exposure using Lee Big Stopper ND filter. f/11, ISO100, 90mm on a 70-200 f/2.8.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Solitude
Silence and Solitude on a lonely beach on an early morning walk.
This is a re-working of an old image, the difference being this one is in colour, and has been processed using 'Aurora HDR 2018' software.
I spotted this lovely lady in the grounds, sitting on a bench, at the rear of Tewkesbury Abbey.
She was totally engrossed in her book ... which was BTW ... 'A Metropolitan Murder' by Lee Jackson.
This is a 3 shot HDR of St Cyr's Church in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire.
It is a church that is set next to the Stroudwater canel and sits behind a housing estate. I discovered it by accident whilst searching for locations on Flickr groups!
The only downside to the visit was that my car was vandalised whilst I was taking the shots. Hey ho as they say!
Thanks for looking and feel free to leave a comment, good or bad.
The main (West) door of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland.
St Mary's is a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was built in the late 19th century in the West End of Edinburgh's New Town.
It was weird because my camera saw farther into the water than me. I couldn't see that much of the sidewalk!
Also, my last shot got explore and i just hit 21k total views!! Thanks to everyone!!
