Titchfield Abbey: panorama

The abbey was built in the early 13th century by the then Bishop of Winchester. The white canons who lived there were so called because of their white habits. They lived a life of contemplation within the abbey: 8 services and Mass per day in the monastic church plus reading and studying, and also went out into the wider community.

They probably left them white, because as you know, some habits are hard to break :)
Beautiful panorama too. It is on lovely grounds.

Ha! Kane, I'm beginning to think that most habits are hard to break!!

[Robyn]

Lovey scene and architecture

[JulieCo]

A beautiful composition. I think it works very well in letterbox format with the subject off centre. It reminds me of our day out when we discovered the castle in Winchester!

[wendy frost]

A brilliant view and castle especially with the dark foreboding storm clouds behind

[Anne Gibson]

Lovely clouds

[Rohini Gupta]

Love the panorama. These old ruins are always such good subjects and the stormy sky gives it mystery.

Lovley castle

Great wide angle shot. This looks a great place for photography. I'd love to see the main building in Hammer Horror style B&W!

[Newbank Lass]

@catwoman2

Thank you for comment and fav. For some reason I cannot quite explain, this abbey, above all the others in the area, draws me in.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

[Leah]

[Darlene]

What a beautiful panoramic shot, Hazel. FAV

[Babs]

What a fantastic building and interesting history. 8 services a day, gee that's dedication. Just think how much of the world they have missed.

[Kathleen Hickey]

Wonderful picture! Thanks for including the history. Colorado's recorded history is only about 150 years. I am always quite amazed by the ancient wonders you live with.
