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.

You got a lot of comments & i may not be as professional like some on this site, but i love photography, & i wanted to tell you the way you showed us the curves is the most thing i liked. All the rest is very nice byt naure or by itself, but the curves or the angle you shot from is amazing
Rosemary Scott
Outstanding shot!! This looks like an amazing place…. What would possess someone to destroy it? I imagine Henry VIII’s motivation was something to do with his conflict with the vatican….
I love your treatment… the tones & that light….. Superb!

Wow, so many comments. Beautiful though. I like what you’ve written about this image. It inspires me to create or find my own place that reflects how I feel at the moment at the begging of it all and so uncertain with a need to figure out where I go from here.
