The river Barle in Exmoor’s National Park is spanned by a foot bridge called Tarr Steps which is a surviving example of a ‘clapper’ bridge made from large, un-mortared slabs of stone and is the longest of its type. But its age is unknown. Some theories claim it dates from the Bronze Age, others date it from around AD1400.

La Loge de la soie est une bourse de commerce construite à Valence au XVe siècle. La Llotja de València représente la puissance économique de la cité à la fin de ce siècle. Elle fut conçue comme un temple du commerce.
La Llotja, monument civil de style gothique, a été construite entre 1482 et 1498, par les maîtres tailleurs de pierre Pere Compte, Johan Yvarra, Johan Corbera et Domingo Urtiaga, qui la termina en 1548. Ses murs épais, sa tour et ses créneaux lui donnent un aspect de château ancien. La Lonja est faite de quatre parties :
la Salle du Consulat de la Mer (Sala del Consulat de la Mar), à gauche de la Tour en regardant la façade,
la Tour,
la Salle des colonnes ( Saló Columnari ou Sala de Contractació), à droite de la tour,
la cour des orangers (Pati dels Tarongers).
La superficie du monument dépasse les 2 000 mètres carrés entre les zones construites et les autres.
Le Salon aux colonnes est une grande salle, à trois nefs longitudinales. La porte principale est une porte gothique à laquelle on accède par quelques marches. Au tympan figure une Vierge à l'enfant, patronne des marchands. Deux grandes fenêtres surmontées des armes de la ville entourent cette porte. Sur la façade latérale, s'ouvre une autre porte encadrée elle aussi par deux fenêtres.
Le Salon est couvert par un ensemble de voûtes de croisée d'ogives reposant sur de sveltes colonnes hélicoïdales de presque 16 mètres. On a voulu y voir la représentation du paradis dont les colonnes seraient les troncs de palmiers et les voûtes représenteraient la voûte céleste ou alors les feuilles des palmiers ouvertes tout en haut. La municipalité installa ici la taula de canvis (table de change) pour réaliser les opérations financières et bancaires de cette époque. Tout au long de la partie la plus haute des quatre murs, à la naissance des voûtes, court une frise de couleur sombre sur laquelle est inscrit en lettres d'or un texte en latin qui rappelle aux commerçants leurs devoirs de marchands et de bons chrétiens : ne pas utiliser l'usure dans leur négoce pour pouvoir gagner ainsi la vie éternelle. L'inscription dit : « Maison illustre, j'ai été construite en quinze ans. Compatriotes, vérifiez et voyez combien est bon le commerce qui n'utilise pas la fraude en parole, qui promet à son prochain et ne faute pas, qui ne prête pas son argent avec usure. Le marchant qui vit de cette manière débordera de richesses et jouira, enfin, de la vie éternelle. »
The Silk Lodge is a trading exchange built in Valence in the 15th century. La Llotja de València represents the economic power of the city at the end of this century. It was designed as a temple of commerce.
La Llotja, a civil monument in the Gothic style, was built between 1482 and 1498 by master stonemasons Pere Compte, Johan Yvarra, Johan Corbera and Domingo Urtiaga, who finished it in 1548. Its thick walls, tower and battlements give it the appearance of an old castle. The Lonja is made of four parts:
the Consulate of the Sea Room (Sala del Consulat de la Mar), to the left of the Tower looking at the facade,
tower,
the Hall of Columns (Saló Columnari or Sala de Contractació), to the right of the tower,
the courtyard of the orange trees (Pati dels Tarongers).
The area of ​​the monument exceeds 2,000 square meters between the built-up areas and the others.
The Salon aux Colonnes is a large hall with three longitudinal naves. The main door is a Gothic door which is accessed by a few steps. The tympanum features a Virgin and Child, patroness of merchants. Two large windows surmounted by the arms of the city surround this door. On the side facade, another door opens, also framed by two windows.
The Salon is covered by a set of ribbed vaults resting on slender helicoidal columns almost 16 meters high. We wanted to see there the representation of paradise whose columns would be the trunks of palm trees and the vaults would represent the celestial vault or the leaves of the palm trees open at the very top. The municipality installed here the taula de canvis (exchange table) to carry out the financial and banking operations of that time. Along the highest part of the four walls, at the birth of the vaults, runs a dark frieze on which is inscribed in gold letters a Latin text which reminds traders of their duties as merchants and good Christians. : not to use usury in their trade in order to be able to gain eternal life in this way. The inscription reads: “Illustrious house, I was built in fifteen years. Countrymen, check and see how good is the trade that does not use fraud in word, that promises its neighbor and does not foul, that does not lend its money with usury. The merchant who lives in this way will be overflowing with riches and will, at last, enjoy eternal life. »
Lets go back to the warmer autumn days briefly...
I visited Tarr Steps in Exmoor numerous times this autumn to get the conditions I wanted, and luckily on my last visit, as the last light faded and the rain poured I managed to capture this shot. I wanted to have the tree in the corner covered in red leaves, and being a sheltered spot, it took a long time to get to this color.

I think running up these steps with a camera bag full of gear was worth it, don't you??
7 shot panorama, though you might not realise! Trying to decide if it's oversaturated though? Ironic, as I don't think I made any changes to saturation!

Many steps can be found all over the island of Santorini. However, not all of them are as neat as these steps. This is what drew me to take this photograph.
