A Thought, A Dream
In a place as surreal as this, its hard not to day dream.
This was taken at an ancient, monastery which was destroyed by Henry the eighth once upon a time.
Sort of represents what i was feeling at this time, not this exact moment but this part of my life. Stopping for a second, trying to figure out where wanted to go, how i would get there. Taking a brief moment to reflect.

So stark and simple yet so rich with meditative
quality and emotive power. It takes my breath away
and fills me with awe and wonder. Perfectly timed
for the rays through the windows, and exquisite
choice of black and white. Just love it!
