Winter Sunset at Rievaulx Abbey


Season's greetings to all my readers, an eccelsiastical picture today. One afternoon last week we spent the afternoon at Rievaulx Abbey just to the north of York. The day had been overcast and grey nearly all day until we were just about to leave and warm oursleves up in the car, when the setting sun came out from behind a cloud and lit up the abbey creating long shadows and suffusing the buildings with a honey glow. More pictures tomorrow.

Oh, beautiful!! It's really hard taking photos at this time of year because of the lack of light - well done for catching the sun when it peeped out!
