A Thought, A Dream

A Thought, A Dream by Alex Worsley

A Thought, A Dream

In a place as surreal as this, its hard not to day dream.

This was taken at an ancient, monastery which was destroyed by Henry the eighth once upon a time.

Sort of represents what i was feeling at this time, not this exact moment but this part of my life. Stopping for a second, trying to figure out where wanted to go, how i would get there. Taking a brief moment to reflect.

A Thought, A Dream belongs to the following groups:

    So stark and simple yet so rich with meditative
