A recent stones trip to Coldrum long barrow in Kent with @classicalalan.bsky.social - misty, muddy and very atmospheric! This place is 6,000 years old, just so awesome. #StandingStoneSunday

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France 📷

A thin stream of water is illuminated by the sunlight above, and gives the illusion of a full waterfall inside the dell. The marvel of nature. #BlueskyArtshow #sunlight #natureatitsbest #sandstonebeauty

A rather splendid ornate (flowery) screen across the tower and porch of St Mary, Bruton, Somerset. Dated 1620 and possibly given by John Sampson, churchwarden. Pevsner wonders if the screen was originally made for installation elsewhere.

Knight-time prayers. Fifteenth century splendour at St Michael’s, Stanton Harcourt. A special place!

A little Sunday morning romance. The Beggars Bridge at Glaisdale. The bridge is the centre of the wonderfully romantic legend of Thomas Ferris, a poor man who had been denounced as a beggar by the local squire. Thomas was in love with the squire’s daughter Agnes Richardson. Before Thomas 1/3

St Margaret of Antioch spearing the dragon at South Newington. Margaret refused to renounce christianity and one of the delights awaiting her was to be consumed by Satan disguised as a dragon. Her cross scratched his insides and she was regurgitated. Sadly, she was decapitated later.

Beyond the old Norman entrance of Skipton Castle is the gem that is Conduit Court. This paved and cobbled courtyard, surrounded by a range of domestic Tudor buildings, contains the famous yew tree reputedly planted by Lady Anne Clifford. The courtyard takes its

The impressive vaulted ceiling of the Crypt below Glasgow Cathedral. The crypt was built in the mid-1200s to house the tomb of St Mungo, the founder of the cathedral and the city's patron saint. #glasgow #glasgowcathedral #architecturephotography #architecture

South door, interior #StMaryEastBrent from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuttonToBrentKnoll leg. Cross braced. Styles that extend around the 2-centred head and a ledge that looks as if it was shaped with an adze. A sheer door delight #AdoorableThursday

Two men pass the time of day on a sun-dappled bench on the courthouse square in San Augustine, Texas, 1943. I imagine them to be old friends and old farmers who tell the same old jokes and stories and always laugh. There's a beautiful spirit about this John Vachon photo.

The Steering Lesson Thanks to my friend in Arlington, Texas for purchasing this lovely stretched canvas art print from Henry Scott Tuke's works: buff.ly/RSsG8lg If you are interested in an oil painting of this art print, please send me an email at [email protected].

One of the things I appreciate about the Portland Japanese Garden is how the surrounding forest is incorporated into the visitor experience… #ForestFriday #Photography #Fog #PortlandJapaneseGarden #Portland #Trees 📷🐸

It's one of those days when I just want to disappear into the woods... OK, it's one of those lifetimes when I want to disappear into the woods, but I was trying to be polite.

This is the witch’s cauldron kept in a corner of St Mary’s Frensham - once belonging to Old Mother Ludlam herself. Alternatively, it’s the vessel used in medieval times to brew ‘church ales’ for communal festivities. Either way, a fascinating object to find in the children’s play area!

Birthday greeting across the veil to artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth. This is my linocut portrait of Babs from the Little History of Art book released a few years ago.
