On the way to the dentists......

I go past a ruined Abbey. Every time I go by I am rushing to make an appointment....I scoot past along the motorway and it never fails to make my jaw drop. Its huge when you are alongside it and its ruined aspect makes it look tragically beautiful.

That said I havent ever gotten around to going there for a visit when not rushing towards the drill.....

I went to the dentist a couple days ago and was again reminded of its existence and decided since I wasnt going to visit it I might at least go seek a few pictures to look at with a little less haste than is considered polite on motorways......and I found some gorgeous ones taken by a couple of travelling phototaking net peeps......

Ruins of 12th Century Kirkstall Abbey

And just in case anybody is interested in it's history
