Overlooking Sunderland University's St Peter's Campus on the River Wear, this is the Saxon church from which it takes it's name.
St Peter's was founded in AD674, part of what would become a double Benedictine monastery, the other site being established in Jarrow on the banks of the Tyne.
As cultural jewels go, this site has one of the city's oldest and finest.

Some #historic #Scottish locations for #silentSunday this week.

Kilchurn Castle, almost lost in the scale of the beautiful surroundings (it's on the left).

Fort George, an unexpectedly pleasing space & an excellent place to watch dolphins.

Inchmahome Priory, a delightful ruin on a tiny island on the only lake in Scotland.

Culbin Forest, planted many years after the old estate was subsumed by sand after the dunes were over-harvested.

#Scotland #photography #landscape #history #architecture

A rural landscape with sunny long grasses in the foreground, a copse of tree in the centre, a slither of loch then mountains. On the left hand side, barely noticeable, is an old stone castle. The sky is blue with lots of white fluffy clouds, with a hint of grey in parts.
A view across a parade area in the fort. It is parched grass, with wide lines from mowing. The sky is bright, clear blue. Across the centre a line of red stone walls, the ones on the left form rooms, and have evenly spaced windows. On the right the wall has shrubs growing at the base. In the centre is an excellent large tree, and a ramp up to the higher level.
Stone ruins of the main priory building, with a well-kept lawn in the foreground and large, lush trees behind. The largest peak of the building has the tallest tree behind it. The sky is blue (the sky is blue in every photo of have of this place, not because it's always sunny, but because we only ever visit in nice weather due to lack of shelter should it rain).
Tall trees of the forest fill the frame, with the exception of a central sandy path. The sky behind the green leaves of the trees is bright blue.

"Golden Morning" the old Sycamore tree on our community's property, reputed to have been here when John Brown kidnapped the great nephew of President George Washington, Col. Lewis Washington, during the raid on Harper's Ferry, pre Civil War! I love this old tree!!!

A majestic American Sycamore tree, leafless in winter, stands strong and proud in the light of a golden morning. In the Shenandoah Valley, the skies and the light often work together to grace us with magical scenes.

This is the third version of this tree that I've included here in my portfolio … each the same tree, the same scene, but seen at a slightly different time of day. This tree is located on property near Harpers Ferry ,West Virginia, once owned by Col. Lewis Washington, great-nephew of our first president, George Washington. We have reason to believe that this tree was in existence when Col. Lewis Washington lived here.

An historical note … Col. Lewis Washington was kidnapped from his home, just a short walk from the site of this tree by John Brown during his infamous raid of Harpers Ferry, WV … October 16, 1859 – October 18, 1859 … preceding the United States' Civil War. And during the war itself the whole area was used as camp sites for the soldiers.

Image painted by hand, digitally, and very loosely sketched from one of my own photos using Corel Painter, a Wacom tablet, the art pen stylus and many beautiful digital brushes.

The bright red Herd Groyne Lighthouse, built in 1882, still acts as a navigational aid for vessels entering and leaving the River Tyne in the North East of England.
Personally, I always think it looks like a Jules Verne version of NASA's Apollo Lunar Landing Module (maybe that's where they got the idea!).
