Blue Heavenly Sky, 2024 The wondrous ceiling at #Carlisle #Cathedral is blue and gold, and breathtaking! Pattern of squares and stars! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPatterns #BlueSkyMonday #churches #heavens

A colour photograph of the ceiling at Carlisle cathedral looking up from the ground. It is painted a remarkable shade of blue, and a pattern of squares with stars at each intersection in gold and some in red paint. The walls are a pale coloured stone.

The dreamy barrel-vaulted choir ceiling @carlislecathedral.bsky.social. The structure is from circa 1400, but the heavenly painted decoration is from a 19th century restoration, repainted in 1970. #CeilingsOnSunday #Carlisle #Cumberland #Cathedrals 📷 my own

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekGforGames The 12thC Carlisle Castle,Carlisle,Cumbria In 1568 it was the prison of Mary Queen of Scots. Legend has it she looked out from her cell and saw people playing football, 20 a side - one of the earliest on record. #carlisle #cumbria #history #photography #eastcoastkin

A view of Carlisle Castle, Carlisle, Cumbria, England on a sunny June day. A red sandstone building from the 12th Century. The main turreted entrance and the keep building can be seen, with red stone walls running alongside them.

Built in the 12th Century, it was a frontier fortress between England and Scotland. It survived 7 sieges from the Scots between 1174 & 1461.

In 1568 it was the prison of Mary Queen of Scots. Legend has it she looked out from her cell and saw people playing football, 20 a side - one of the earliest records of people playing football.

Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite army seized the castle in 1745 on their way south to take London (so they hoped) but only got as far as Derby.

The castle was operational well into the 20th Century. Today it hosts Cumbria's Museum of Military Life, exploring the Border Regiment's 300 year history.

A view on a sunny August day of a vibrant cluster of Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) at Eden Bridge Gardens in Rickerby Park, Carlisle.
They have upright stems topped with golden yellow daisy-like flowers, and a distinct dark black central cone.
These are ornamental gardens and are laid out with planted borders, shrubberies and ornamental ponds, with numerous sitting places.
There is a pergola running the length of the garden with a small stone building either side of it.
Behind are large green trees. The sky is bright blue.
They were first opened in 1933.

The lid of painted wooden casket depicting a courting couple. Possibly dating to the 15th century, the casket may have been used as an engagement present. Now part of the collections at Tullie House Museum in Carlisle. 📷 My own. #Woodensday #Medieval #Carlisle
