Description

High a'top Whitby Harbour stands the ancient Abbey. The barrow, a sacred burial ground sits before it. I made a promise to Denger a long time ago.. that I would get a shot of both together. So here it is. Shot taken on my lone wanderings last Saturday. Happy day for all. Hugs. Diane.

Thank you all for comments. @Fred255, I am always climbing walls, trees, falling down holes to get the shot. It is such FUN!!! Diane.

A perfect place to wander. I'd give my left toe to be out there wandering rather than sitting in this high-rise office building! :-) Great shot.

Bravo you got such lovely light to make a super POV of this amazing ancient ruin, hard to imagine how this place would be today had it survived those harsh times..

The POV and distance to the Abby emphasizes its derelict state. Great mood about the place and its absence of living beings.
