A church in Devon photo taken with Nikon D80 (and a Nikkor 18-135mm lens), then the levels were tweaked in photoshop to increase the contrast.
Fortunately it was a very sunny day to begin with!

The sun was lighting up Lundy Island visible on the horizon in the background. Im looking forward to visiting the island in May to photograph birds!
Barnstaple is the main town of North Devon, England, and possibly the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It is a former river-port, located at the lowest crossing-point of the River Taw, flowing into the Bristol Channel.
From the 14th century, it was licensed to export wool, since the merchants claimed that the town had been declared a free borough in Saxon times. This brought great wealth to Barnstaple, whose town centre still preserves a medieval layout and character. Later the town became an importer of Irish wool, but its harbour silted up, and it developed other industries, such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills. Its Victorian market survives, with its high glass and timber roof on iron columns. Barnstaple railway station is the terminus of a branch line from Exeter, known as the Tarka Line.
Here we see the entrance of St. George's Church in Georgeham with the sign saying no dog's please.

...of beautiful Ilfracombe.
Tim woke up with a bit of a dodgy tummy today, but rallied and we made it out for a walk by late morning - along the harbour, up and over Hillsborough and down to Hele Bay - and then back again, via Rapparee Cove. Such a beautiful walk, with fantastic views pretty much all the way - and a ruddy good work out for the legs and lungs!
Had a restful couple of hours back at the apartment this afternoon, then nipped out to Lidl for a few bits and pieces, and I carried on to pick us up a last dinner from the fish 'n' chip shop. Has to be done!

Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish on the North Devon coast, England with a small harbour, surrounded by cliffs.
The parish stretches along the coast from the 'Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 4 miles along the Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The resort is hilly and the highest point within the parish boundary is at 'Hore Down Gate', 2 miles inland and 860 feet (270 m) above sea level.
The landmark of Hillsborough Hill dominates the harbour and is the site of an Iron Age fortified settlement. In the built environment, the architectural-award-winning Landmark Theatre is either loved or hated for its unusual double-conical design. The 13th century parish church, Trinity, and the St Nicholas's Chapel (a lighthouse) on Lantern Hill, have been joined by the Damien Hirst owned statue, Verity, as points of interest.
