This photo comes from the h2g2 Post's collection of submissions to Create's November project. We'll be posting a photo a day for the month of November.

Ruined Abbey

Ruined Abbey by Superfrenchie.

This is what Superfrenchie called 'a broken abbey' in Normandy. More beauty among the ruins. There's a stillness in this photo, and it points to things that last.

It puts me in mind of Thomas Gray:

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r

The moping owl does to the moon complain

Of such, as wand'ring near her secret bow'r,

Molest her ancient solitary reign.

Best wishes on Remembrance Sunday, Brits!
