Tintern Abbey, South Wales.... by streats

Tintern Abbey, South Wales....

Have just returned from a weekend in Wales, spent some time this afternoon at this beautiful ruined Abbey.

Better viewed large I think, if you have the time :)

You can see an alternative shot from today here...

Wow this is brilliant. We have got a subject of arches at our photo club in a couple of months time, but I don;' think we have anything as beautiful as this in Australia - nothing as old either!!
