Taking a look at a historic Nottinghamshire Church, St Mary's Church, Greasley from a different perspective.

St Mary's Church, in the parish of Greasley in Nottinghamshire is a location that I have photographed on many occasions before, throughout each season it always seems to have a certain charm about it with swathes of beautiful colours, in the Autumn it the surrounding trees become full of beautiful colour and in the spring, beautiful and opulent Cherry Blossoms can also be seen, yes I have also carried out more "abstract styles of photography" at this beautiful historic 15th century church in the past by observing the intricate patterns and beauty of the sandstone used in the construction of this beautiful and delightful church that is located within the rolling hills of the Nottinghamshire countryside, close to the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire Borderlands of The Erewash Valley, a short distance away from St Mary's Church in Greasley, the town of Eastwood can be found (home of DH Lawrence) along with Kimberley, another town that has a quirky and unique history to it and some interesting architecture, but somehow St Mary's Church, and its location seems to be something of an oasis of calm, yes the suburban sprawl is not far away and yet here you tend to forget that. Yet, on Tuesday the 17th of September I had decided after what had previously been a rather grey and damp day, to head to Greasley Church, this time around to capture it from a unique perspective, from the air! And with a glorious blue sky and a lack of wind, here is what I had managed to capture. Of course another random and interesting fact about this historic church, is within the graveyard - the grave of "Benjamin Drawater" can be found ho was ship's surgeon on one of Captain Cook's voyages.
