The sun was just about to emerge from below the horizon, & get concealed behind a bank of low clouds when I took this shot Sean had discretely disappeared out of view.

This tower is very ancient indeed, & is the remains of a Monastery. It's always very windy ( tripods often shake ) on the Torr, & it's often concealed by fog too !

Understand this location was originally called the Isle of Avalon, & was a Holy site long b4 Christianity came to England. :o)

This is a pretty nice shot of the tower. I am trying to imagine it in the fog. I bet that would look really spooky, with a full moon in the sky, too. This picture still has an eerie look to it, with the tower being dark, and the cloudy sky. Very nice work, Phil.

It looks like an aged handing reaching to the sky OH Phlossie. I like the dark tones and it almost looks like it is covered with barnacles. How weird is that?

Good post.

I like the contrast and almost silhouette look here. Yet you can see some of the details. Another fine image.

Great image; the lack of light and the angle make it!

Beautiful image with nice contrast between the sky and the tower. Very eerie image with the tower being so dark.
