ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Solitude
Silence and Solitude on a lonely beach on an early morning walk.
For many years I have tried to photograph this Cathedral in my home City always in color , I thought the light was right today for a monochrome conversation which I believe enhances the workmanship and expertise of these stonemasons who practiced their craft 900 years ago . Carlisle Cathedral, is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Carlisle. It is located in Carlisle, in Cumbria, North West England. It was founded as an Augustinian priory and became a cathedral in 1133
Carlisle, because of heavy losses to its fabric, is the second smallest (after Oxford), of England's ancient cathedrals. Its notable features include some fine figurative stone carving, a set of medieval choir stalls and the largest window in the Flowing Decorated Gothic style in England

The waves were probably some of the biggest waves i've seen at windansea. Took a while waiting for enough water to flow over that rock creating a waterfall, but it was worth it. When is this gloom going to stop!?
Taken at the Black Country Living Museum. Some of the scenes from the TV show Peaky Blinders were shot here.
Early Summer sunrise over the bluff along Keuka Lake. Wonderful time to visit the Finger Lakes! 20160529-DSC_8541
I hadn't visited the Seattle Center in a number of years so I challenged myself to find some new compositions.
I wanted to practice my HDR processing and just happened across this image from the archives last night.
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.

Thanks for looking and taking the time to post comments
This morning around 4:30 I randomly woke up and had trouble going back to sleep. It's been to dang hot in SF lately, maybe thats why. As I was browsing my phone, I saw I was tagged in a post at 3am from +Maximilian Laue saying get up here it's epic, and a picture to prove it. Well getting out of bed is the last thing I ever want to do until around 10am to 2pm, my normal awake time :) But I couldn't resist some fog. It has been rainy lately too, so I figured i might finally get the low fog high clouds, but nope, not a cloud to be seen. Still a great morning though. I love how low the fog got and how everything is peaking through.

The Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found in most of North and much of Central America. It breeds from Alaska and Newfoundland south to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and Guatemala, with isolated populations in western El Salvador, northwestern Honduras, and northwestern Costa Rica. It may winter as far north as Pennsylvania and British Columbia, but northern populations are generally migratory, moving south to Mexico and the southern United States. Claims have been made that it is the most abundant and most well studied bird in North America.[2] The Red-winged Blackbird is sexually dimorphic; the male is all black with a red shoulder and yellow wing bar, while the female is a nondescript dark brown. Seeds and insects make up the bulk of the Red-winged Blackbird's diet.
The Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Bridge, formerly known as the Triborough Bridge (sometimes spelled Triboro Bridge), is a complex of three separate bridges in New York City, United States. Spanning the Harlem River, the Bronx Kill, and the Hell Gate (part of the East River), the bridges connect the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx via Randall's Island and Wards Island, which are joined by landfill.

I have fun playing with my images. Fun is one of the many things photography is about. The background for this image are the feathers of a flamingo. Another item includes a heavy equipment front load rusted shovel. All textures and images are my photographs.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Three’s
I took a road trip to Los Angeles to photograph the Walt Disney Concert Hall. It was my first visit. I spent about an hour or so photographing this awesome building and had a great time. I was kicked out of one of the ramps for using my tripod, but otherwise no problems. The morning shoot was perfect. My hope is to go back and photograph this unique building again soon.
