Description: *The Priory and Parish Church of St Mary, Lancaster: * Lancaster Priory as it is more commonly known - overlooks the centre of Lancaster. It is situated adjacent to Lancaster Castle in a conservation area with stunning views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland Hills. The church is a Grade 1 listed building, located on a site which has seen Christian worship since Saxon times. The carved choir stalls with their misericords are nationally famous. It is one of the most frequently visited parish churches in the North West, and particularly during the summer months. Taken on Samsung NX11, 20-50mm. Tweaked in Photoshop.
Description: Taken in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy last summer, on the Via San Niccolò. I have edited 3 separate images in CS6 Photoshop pro using the Merge to HDR option with final editing of the resulting Tiff file in Adobe Camera raw as a 32-bit image to get the best result. This is first 'proper' attempt at HDR using more than 1 image and to be honest I am quite pleased with it.

Description: Lake Trasimeno (Italian: Lago Trasimeno) is the largest lake on the Italian peninsula, part of the province of Perugia, in the Umbria region. The Lake is located in the south of the Po River and to the north of the nearby Tiber River, with a surface area of 128 sq km, slightly less than Lake Como. No major river flows directly into or out of Lake Trasimeno and the water level fluctuates significantly according to rainfall levels and the seasonal demands from the towns, villages and farms near the shore.
Description: St Botolph's Church is in Colchester, Essex. The present Church was dedicated in 1837. It was built in the style of the old Norman building, with semicircular arches and Norman ornamentation. The interior is reminiscent of the Georgian City churches. The three East windows came from Flanders. Samuel Harsnett, Archbishop of York in 1628, was born in the parish and is commemorated in the South wall Window. The Church was nearly destroyed by fire during the 1943 air raids. It had its own team of fire watchers which dealt with several incendiary bombs, although one fell on a radiator and the resulting fire was extinguished by the escaping water! In more recent years considerable reordering of the church interior has taken place. In the...
Description: The Old Ship Inn at Heybridge Basin, near Maldon, Essex. A welcoming pub looking out onto a picturesque location next to river lock. You can enjoy home made food, served by a friendly team. Certainly worth a visit, but be prepared for a short wait on food when the sun shines as this is when it is at it's busiest.. Taken on my iPhone 4S. used Snapseed app to add some contrast and convert to mono
Description: A candid shot of some lovely ladies taking a break from the summer heat in Siena, Tuscany, Italy. It was indeed hot too and I was taking a short break in the shade myself when I spotted these ladies. Only one spotted me taking the shot but I think it adds to the image. I treated the image to a bit of digital effects. Hope you like it.
