Looked very spooky but due to very clean air basically. Pollution = no moss effectively. Taken in Yorkshire near the start of the climb to Ingleborough. View large please.

Inside of the Artic Cathederal in Tromso, Norway.

One of many similar bridge crossings in Norway. View large for full effect.

Not surprising really as was taken in January in northern Norway!

River level very low for early Februaty 2023

The Church of St Andrew, Grinton, is the parish church for the village of Grinton in North Yorkshire, England. The grade I listed structure has also been called The Cathedral of the Dales, and as the only parish church in Upper Swaledale, it was at the end of the Swaledale Corpse Way, where those who had died in the upper valley, were brought for burial. Grinton never developed past village status, but its noted crossing point of the River Swale afforded it more importance than other settlements. The church was built in the 12th century and has many alterations to its original Norman architecture. As the church was the only parish church in the area, for 400 years St Andrew's presided over the largest parish by area in Yorkshire. The church is notable for having a chained bible, a Jacobean pulpit with sounding board, and a hagioscope in the south wall. The church is also noted for being the most northerly of the "Pennine Perpendicular churches". A hagioscope also known as a squint or as a leper's squint, was used so that people could observe the process of worship without actually being there. Sometimes this was so concurrent activity with the service could be carried simultaneously, but it also allowed those with a communicable disease in the parish (such as leprosy), to witness the service without infecting the rest of the congregation.

The monument includes buried and standing remains of the Franciscan friary at Richmond. It is located on the north western edge of the medieval town, outside the area formerly enclosed by the town walls. The monument occupies the park and gardens surrounding the friary bell tower and the ground east of and below the modern Friary Hospital and includes the core of the medieval friary site. It has been identified from standing ruins, geophysical surveys, small-scale excavations and documentary references.

As you can see modernisation in action, with yellow lines for parking but a good move with the paving slabs making it far safer to walk on in rain or icy conditions.

Richmond Falls are a series of waterfalls on the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond, which lies just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. They are located in an attractive limestone gorge and are a bit like a smaller version of the more famous Aysgarth Falls on the River Ure.

Taken on a very crowded top deck on our cruise ship in Funchal bay Madeira.

A street set nativity scene with the Cathederal in the background. New phone and therefore new camera phone to use, these are the best of a mixed bag!
