....standing in a commanding position overlooking the little village of Hartington in Derbyshire is the 13th century church of St Giles. I have omitted the tower from this photograph as it is under reconstruction and stands to the left out of sight. The church is unusual in that it's walls are made of Staffordshire redstone, Derbyshire limestone and gritstone giving it a reddish appearance. The cottage I posted last night sits to the right of the church and overlooks the gravestones, sooooo I expect a few of you have fled! lol! The flowers I posted this morning can be seen lining the borders around the church in this photograph. Also there is a gargoyle on the wall resembling someone we all know quite well! ;) ps if you check the link you will see there is a little cheese shop in the village which sells the most scrumptious cheese - I bought a huge piece of Stilton and it has all gone! :P)

And might that gargoyle be? Thanks for the history lesson, Patti, and the post is very good. I especially like the purple flowers. ;-)

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

I really enjoy hearing from my caedes friends.
I love the continuity in your postings of both today and yesterday. I don't know much about stones, but these look rich. A beautiful composition and capture, Patti. :)

The building is terrific. Super clarity on this. The flowers add a nice touch to the image.

Never thought I would enjoy a shot that contained headstones, but I was wrong. The tree and flowers remind of the renewal of life and the old structure gives pause to appreciate and admire the struggle to maintain existence and the beauty that that time can impart upon the surface of us all.
The coloring and focus are exquisite. With a composition that draws you right in and forces you to take a stroll down the path.

Find your own answers. Nobody else has them.
Gorgeous colours and composition is great Patti. The purple flowers add a lot of 'life' to the picture, even if the gravestones are visible:) Very peaceful scene.

I like the composition and colouring the most.has a very good look to it.Too bad about the cheese! Camembert anyone instead?

Patti, beautiful composition and a very interesting narrative. It's somewhat a pity that you've omitted the tower in this image because it's under reconstruction. Regards, Cornelius

not really Cornelius - it has scaffolding all around it and is not a pretty sight! ;)

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Font Garden.
How quaint, and not only are there purple flowers, but I see that the dandelions also decided to get in on the act. I really enjoyed the link you posted and the history and the famous people who have come from this area. In fact, I enjoyed the whole time I spent here. Thanks, Patti!
