...sitting on the hill overlooking the village of Tissington in Derbyshire - St Mary's - dating back to Norman Times (1066-1200) - many Norman features are still visible in the interior of the church, most recently restored in 1854.

An expertly composed shot of this fascinating Norman church. Lovely rich summery colours too.

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
Great angle to get the shot from, and I love the stone wall there too. Very nice, Patti.

I ACTUALLY WON THE FIGHT
Pat - And, I think I see Norman on the right! lol It is amazing that the building remains after so many centuries. The perspective, with the wall below, enhances the understanding of history associated with this church. Thad

A thoroughly enchanting view with so many little details to enjoy. I really like the way it's framed by the trees and the wall.

England has a lot of places with an unpayable cultural and historical heritage. The St. Mary's in Tissington, Derbyshire is one of them.
Your image breathes out what I just was saying Patti.
Great post.
Regards, Cornelius.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

...to be honest I am not happy with the quality of my image - too much contract and saturation - just shows - don't photoshop your images late at night - poor judgement on my behalf! lol! I'll leave the image for a couple of weeks, but will most likely delete it.

Well before you do anything too hasty let me say this is a great looking scene. Lovely colours and clarity along with some good lighting. A beautiful old church caught in a grand setting.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams
Built to last then!!
I am viewing late at night with just a lamp - and I do know things can look different in daylight - but for me I love these vibrant colours which contrast so well against the sombre stone colour.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
Very nice indeed. My main church in town is also called St MArys, and there is a similarity between their towers.
