The ruins

Shrewsbury

Sunrise at Haughmond Abbey. Founded in 1135 and finally dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. Full of tombstones, this place is quite eerie in the early morning fog, yet peaceful and of course, timeless.

That wonderful lighting always works in your favor, Steve. It is like you formed some alliance with the Gods that allows you to know where and when to photograph! Of course, it is a fine reward of your dedication and passion for photography. I love this mild hues of the sky and the photo is impressive in its significance and beauty.
