La iglesia de Santa María La Mayor de Villacantid constituye un destacado ejemplo de arquitectura religiosa de estilo románico en el sur de Cantabria. el estilo de los templos de Cervatos, Elines y Retortillo, además recibe la influencia del románico del norte de la provincia de Palencia.
Es un extraño ejemplar, un templo "contorsionista", que se ha doblado sobre si hasta unir la portada con el ábside. Este extraño aspecto, es producto de las reformas sufridas en el s.XVII.
Parece que, avanzado el s.XIII, se eliminó la nave única, románica, y en su lugar se proyectaron tres naves, aunque se conservó la cabecera. Se alzó la nave norte, pero la sur quedó inconclusa, hasta que al comienzo del s.XVII se reformó la nave del evangelio y se añadió la parte inacabada de la epístola, en cuyo muro de levante se recolocó, pegada al ábside, la portada románica que antes estaba al costado meridional.
El resultado es un ejemplar único.
A 5am alarm clock followed by a quick coffee and bite to eat then in the car for the 10min drive to the Rhyd Ddu Path, the forecast was promising with reports of no wind and rain and mist in the valleys.
I set off at 6am and headed for the summit of Yr Aran in complete darkness giving myself plenty of time to be their for first light, there was plenty of cloud cover on route with the odd star making an apperance every now and then, I knew that is was going to go either way come sunrise.
The sunrise colours did'nt come to fruition but the fog rolling in made up for that, I spent around 2hours in total taking in the views great place to be.

The eastern basin of the Ismaninger Speichersee, a reservoir in the north of Munich, built in 1929 to regulate the water flow for the run-of-the-river power plants along the Isar Canal.
The reservoir and the adjacent fish ponds are a nature reserve (Europareservat) and an Important Bird Area (IBA).

There is nothing in the world quite like the Grand Canal. Imagine slowly being rowed along the Canal to gaze at the historical splendor and beauty of Venice. It is a memory of a lifetime.
