9th March 2011

Dad: not a great photo in itself but gives a better idea of what the Fountains Abbey ruins are like from a distance. The abbey,
founded in 1132, was one of the richest monastic houses in Britain, before King Henry VIII ordered its dissolution in 1539.
The abbey and surrounding estate are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The UNESCO website describes
the estate as "a... landscape of exceptional merit and beauty" http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&id_site=372 .

But of course, Pooch isn't interested in any of that. All he cares about is where his next pheasant chase is coming from!
See how his eyes are fixed on the hedge on the left! :-)

He's got a job to do... no time for sight seeing. Love the misty abbey ruins. Very beautiful!

Always ready for action and plenty of hedge for hiding the wildlife too! But
what about the magnificent scenery you're missing Pooch!

A beautiful scene with historic Abbey.

Gee Pooch, Mum and Dad try to give you some culture and you favour wildlife chases :))

Little Pooch has a one track mind ~ the big chase! :)

Gulliver's Travels, no I mean, Pooch's Travels. It's nice to see some life on the place.

does look like a nice spot!

It's certainly a lovely place to chase squ*rrels.

Pooch and the snowdrops certainly make the photo more interesting for sure.

Great wide angle view of the Abbey! Would be half as interesting w/o Pooch!V!
