[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 829994, member: 53455"] [B]Romanesque England: Saint Lawrence in Castle Rising (2023)[/B] Built during the mid–1100s by Norman lord William of Albini II, the church of Saint Lawrence in the village of Castle Rising is hailed in the UK as a grandiose gesture and a prowess of overflowing decorative Romanesque architecture. The western façade is indeed admirable, yet we from Continental Europe are used to beholding Romanesque churches that are even more abundantly decorated, and by quite a large margin. Looking at this façade makes me think about the churches in Saintonge, and the intertwined arches are reminiscent of the exuberant colonnade in the cloister of San Juan de Duero in Spain. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor Z 24-120mm, ƒ/4 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. [ATTACH type="full"]416143[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
