Mossy branches surrounding mill ruins.

This is the old mill near the top of Jumble Hole Clough, between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden. I took the photo in April this year, before the leaves appeared on the trees. I'm planning another visit soon so I'll see how the leaves change the atmosphere.

Inside the ruins of Heptonstall's original 13th Century church (2)

Here's another shot of the lovely church ruins at Heptonstall, photographed in March this year. I think the bare branches of the tree under the arch fit perfectly with the tones and shapes of the ruins. You can find more information about them in my post of 30th March.

The ruins of Whitby Abbey.

I love old, ruined buildings and this one is really stunning. It's a Gothic-style 13th century Benedictine Abbey, perched on the cliff-top overlooking Whitby. The site is owned by English Heritage but you can pay a small amount to look around. Luckily, it was fairly quiet when we visited in January this year, so I was able to get a few photos without people on them!

Whitby Abbey under a dark winter sky.

One from my trip to Whitby a few weeks ago. We paid the £7.50ish/person to enter the Abbey grounds and wandered around taking photos from different angles. On reviewing them, I thought this was the best, most atmospheric, shot although, frustratingly, it's not quite sharp if you zoom in close. Looks like we might be paying again next time we visit so I can get it right!
