St Andrew’s Church is the parish church of Alfriston, East Sussex, England. This Grade I listed building was built in the 1370s and is also known as the ‘Cathedral of the Downs‘. It sits on a small, flint-walled mound, indicating that it was the site of a pre-Christian place of worship, in the middle of ‘the Tye’ (the local village green), overlooking the River Cuckmere, and is surrounded by the flowered graveyard. It is built in the form of a Greek cross. I took this shot on a Sunday from the village green after the daily service.

Supermoon

A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee. Because the term supermoon is astrological in origin, it has no precise astronomical definition I shot this supermoon from the carpark of Chalfont St Peter, UK, you can see another photo of the village here, here and here.
