St Peter's Church in Infrared - Lot's of photos!

Introduction

This is a huge post with a lot of photos so apologies in advance if it takes time to load. These are the rest of the photos I took yesterday.

The variable cloud and lighting conditions meant that some of the photos look quite different from each other. The clouds seem to have a strong filtering effect on the amount of warmer tones in the shot which made consistency really difficult.

I have therefore split them up according to time of shooting and how the light was behaving to make them less jarring. I think I will need more practice before I can get the look of these shots more consistent if that is even possible without ruining them.

My personal favourites are the ones that were taken at the end of the day close to sunset. Hope you like them.

Feel free to use these in your own posts if you have use for them via Steemit4free.

About the Church

St Peter's is one of the oldest churches in Europe. The following information is taken from their website where you can also take a virtual tour:

In what had been a promontory clifftop overlooking the north of the harbour and estuary of the River Wear, 60 hides of land were given by King Ecgfrith for Benedict Biscop to found the monastery of St. Peter in the name of the Archbishop Theodore of Canterbury in 673 AD. This was the beginning of a new project a movement to bring learning, culture and the Christian religion to the north of Saxon Britain.

This was the monastery on whose lands the Venerable Bede was born and it was here at Wearmouth that at the age of 7 he entered the schooling of the monastery. This was the time in the dark middle ages known as the Golden Age of Northumbria, when monastic communities spread from Ireland to Iona to Lindisfarne: from Rome via Canterbury to here.

Most of the monastic settlement lies under the churchyard of St.Peter’s having been largely excavated and recorded by Professor Rosemary Cramp of Durham University in the 1960’s and covered over again for protection. Some of the stones and artefacts were unearthed and brought into the church where they can be seen on display today.

The western wall and the porch and lower tower visible today date from the foundation and still stand as part of the St.Peter’s church where the Christians worship as in earliest times.

If you come to the north of England it is well worth a visit.
