Not Gormenghast

This is no flight of fancy in stone, no Gormenghast or literary folly, this chapel of ease exists because of single minded determination.
A kirk by a loch, but do you know where?

Ancient Inca engineering at its finest: the agricultural terraces of Huchuy Qosqo (Kakya Qawani), like a giant stone staircase in the mountain. Each level required precise stonework. While terracing is common in the Sacred Valley, their scales and precisions remind us of the immense effort required to build them.

I came across this beautiful and ornate building number on 16 Colquhoun Street in Helensburgh today. I particularly like the Disgorging Green Man at the bottom, a very appropriate symbol to come across as we move towards Spring.

Just found a pic I took of William Blake's grave in Bunhill Fields Burial Ground (London) back in 2018. I didn't realise at the time but this was only 1 week after it was formally laid. It was created by Lida Cardozo - more on the graves history here: memoirsofametrogirl.com/2018/0

“Stone is a living thing, not a piece of dead matter”

In the moorland dales, the quality and excellence of available building stones are the primary factors that have influenced building construction. The Jurassic rocks have been worked in numerous quarries in all the dales and provided an abundance of stone, which has been used to build abbeys, churches, mansions, bridges, buildings in ...

This is a great example of an Art Nouveau font on the stone nameplate for Saint Paul's Parish Halls on Dumbarton Road in Whiteinch, Glasgow.

Still #TombTuesday in #Oregon.
#Sillustani #chullpa, circular stone burial tower near #Puno, #Peru. The #Altiplano around Lake #Titicaca has many chullpas, these are the most impressive. One unique feature at the site is a stone circle. Sillustani is west of the great lake, at Lake Umayo -15.7225, -70.1567.
I lived and worked in #Azangaro, north of the lake, -14.90907, -70.19516.
