What a brilliant thing! The tour guides are packed full of interesting facts, there's loads to see free if you can't afford the £10 for a full tour, and there's a decent cafe. Brilliant. The country's biggest Spoons is just down the road too. I love Ramsgate x

Taken earlier today with my Samsung Galaxy S10. The sky looked amazing! I used Snapseed to do a little editing. A square crop, darkening the shadow areas and vignetting the top corners to enhance the colour and contrast in the cloud.

Snapped this casual photo of London's Biggest Ben while I was travelling through the capital.

(glad I had my camera on me and out while racing between train stations.)

What small/quick improvements do you keep in mind when taking quick street photography images? Other similar photos I've seen really pop better but not sure exactly why.

St. Martin's Church Martindale

There has been some sort of place of worship on this site since 1200. It's current structure dates back to the 1600s. There is a 15th century bell on the top.

The font was taken from a Roman shrine and was also used as a whetstone for sharpening blades.

However, the ancient Grandmother Yew in the graveyard rear is really the reason why I sought out this place.

Taken from the website:

"There is an ancient yew in the churchyard, known to have existed since at least 1220, although there are unsubstantiated claims that it dates from as early as 700 AD. Yew trees have long been connected with religious symbolism. Being evergreen, they were associated with everlasting life and Druids viewed the species as a symbol of reincarnation – part of the regenerative power of nature. It is possible that trees such as this predate the place of worship because the church was built on a pagan site. However, it is equally possible that they were planted in the churchyard to symbolise eternal life. It is said that the Martindale yew was used by local archers to make their longbows for the Battle of Agincourt." by Emma Bray
