I can’t pinpoint why, but for some reason, this shot of Fountains Abbey reminds me of some of the ruined temples I saw in South East Asia. The architecture, of course, is entirely different, but there’s just something about it…

I can only imagine how impressive the nave of Fountains Abbey would have been prior to its ruin. I’m a sucker for gigantic buildings and this place certainly qualifies – the arcades seem to stretch on forever.
