Graveyard on the dorset island of Portland. Home of #PortlandStone all the monuments are ancient and the place is windswept but because they are made of such strong beautiful stone the intricate carvings and details are intact! This place is eerie even in summer. #graveyardscene #cemeteryLove #islandofportland (locals have an abiding superstition that it's very bad luck to say or write the word "rabbit")

The wave of early #C18 CofE church building in London was propagandistic display that produced astonishing designs by #Hawksmoor and others. It was funded by a tax on #coal increasingly used as fuel and so the white-grey #PortlandStone favoured for these buildings was directly linked to the #Anthropocene -- still, the properties of this stone that show so directly the effects of sunlight are intriguing, as here on Flitcroft's rebuilding of St Giles in the Fields. #architecture

Right place, right time. Just caught the sun appearing behind the Memory Stones on Portland. 📸 #Photography #PortlandStone #Portland #Dorset
