More photos from my Portencross jont.
About a 2 min exposure
My cable release has stopped working so I had to improvise by using a strip if masking tape and a pen lid to use the bulb setting on my camera

Sky Vines wander along the walls and fences in the alley I walk through regularly. And even though I have taken hundreds of pictures of this delicate blueberry-blue blossom, she keeps pulling me to her. Her shapes, her color. Even her empty yellow-green sepal.
A subtle abstract study.

Spiders creep me out, and this one is no exception. Backlit in an abandoned corner, it looks almost alien. Waiting...

I am a seeker of light, both in my life and in photography. A shaft of light, shadows dancing in the light, filtered and discreet light rather than the midday sun.
Wonder is everywhere when we really look and learn to recognize it. At this moment it happens to be a cream rose lit up from within, thanks to the light behind it.
When we look around us like a small child seeing things for the very first time in open-eyed wonder, we are totally connected to the marvel of Life!
The outside of the lower part of the funnel becomes transparent, giving us a momentary glimpse of the multiple vorticies whirling inside.
[ENG] The church was three naves, a transept and a main header formed polygonal apse and two pairs of square side chapels. The central apse is of great monuments Externally it shows his polygonal plant with buttresses scarped in the vertexes and large windows with round arch in his faces. In the central panel lighting was reinforced by an oculus concentric threads and communiqué with the interior by means of a sheet of translucent alabaster. Inside, the apse shows the vain and said oculus and ribbed vault whose ribs rest on columns attached to the wall. In the naves, the surviving arches are pointed and vaults, quadripartite ribbed classic. The large windows that have stayed show Romanesque workmanships round arches on column pairs. It appreciates that the temple, some centuries later, was re-dressed partially in classical adornments, since we can verify in some pilasters with capitals with fantastic acanthuses, large statues of an angel and grotesque. Since in so many other cases, the necessary abandon of the monks in the fourth decade of the 19th century was lethal for the temple, the peoples of the zone pull out tiles and other materials provoking dampness and debilitating the structure until most of the vaults collapsed. For fortune, the correspondents have been kept in good condition to the southern nave and the southern arm of the transepto. (Source: www.arteguias.com)
The Monastery of Piedra (Stone) (Nuévalos, Saragossa, Aragon, Spain) was founded in 1194 by thirteen Cistercian monks come from Poblet's Monastery, in the former castle of Piedra Vieja (Old Stone) and and next to the Piedra river. It was dedicated to St. Mary of the White and it was catalogued as National Monument on February 16, 1983. His construction respond to three styles: Gothic primitive (13th century), Renaissance (16th century) and Baroque (18th century). .

[ESP] La iglesia era de tres naves, transepto y cabecera formada por un ábside principal de planta poligonal y dos parejas de capillas laterales cuadradas. El ábside central es de gran monumentalidad. Exteriormente muestra su planta poligonal con contrafuertes escarpados en los vértices y ventanales con arco de medio punto en sus caras. En el lienzo central la iluminación se reforzó mediante un óculo de roscas concéntricas y comunicado con el interior mediante una lámina de alabastro translúcido. La cornisa se apoya en una corona de canecillos de perfil de nacela. En el interior, este ábside muestra los vanos y el óculo citado y su bóveda de crucerÃa, cuyos nervios reposan sobre columnas adosadas al muro. En las naves, los arcos supervivientes son apuntados y las bóvedas, de crucerÃa clásica cuatripartita. Los ventanales que han quedado muestran hechuras románicas mediante arcos de medio punto sobre parejas de columnas. Se aprecia que el templo, siglos después, fue revestido parcialmente de adornos clasicistas, como podemos comprobar en algunas pilastras encapiteladas con fantásticos acantos, angelotes y grutescos. Como en tantos otros casos, el abandono forzoso de los monjes en la cuarta década del siglo XIX fue letal para el templo, las gentes de la zona arrancaron tejas y otros materiales provocando humedades y debilitando la estructura hasta que la mayor parte de las bóvedas se desplomaron. Por fortuna, se han mantenido en buen estado las correspondientes a la nave meridional y el brazo meridional del transepto. (Fuente: www.arteguias.com)

My glorious hollyhocks made it! - Thank You for getting them on EXPLORE - presently #308... must be quick to catch it.....
Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,--
Prodigal of blue,
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover's words.
(Emily Dickinson)
