Humble Peace

On the edge of the Lake District, high up on a hill, overlooking the Lyth Valley and all the Lakeland fells beyond, is a small church. Welcome to St. John’s Helsington Church! As it was a gorgeous day outside, light flooded into the small church via lots of small stained glass windows. A proper bonny little place in a beautiful setting.

St. John’s Helsington Church, Brigsteer, Lake District, Cumbria, England.

This is a HDR image created from the Sigma’s new SFD (super fine detail) mode: it basically shoots seven exposures automatically and combines them into a single X3I image that contains bags of data.

Sizergh Castle by Tony Via Flickr: The Deincourt family owned this land from the 1170s. On the marriage of Elizabeth Deincourt to Sir William de Stirkeland in 1239, the estate passed into the hands of what became the Strickland family, who owned it until it was gifted to the National Trust in 1950 by Gerald Strickland.
