I love it. I really like all the old churches and things like that. I love just walking around and thinking about what went on in places like this and how they used to live. I did go to London, England but I never really got to go to many old churches and things like that b/c I was only there for a week then headed over to Ireland where I did tons of site seeing and visiting castles and churches. Thanks for bringing back those memories and sharing some of yours. Really great.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

What a great job of showing the majesty that once was and the ruin it's become. Not an easy task. Great work! (In case someone has already said this please note that I never read other reviews until after I post mine - Kat)

What a beautiful photograph. I like the dampness of the brick. Something about the ruins of a building like this makes me wonder what times were like when it was built. Such craftsmanship!

What a beautiful piece of gothic architecture. Time is a testement to the strength of arches. I love your perspective from behind this column looking down the aisle of arches to the window in the tower beyond. Great photo.

Great pic Muiz. I loce the fact that you've taken this while it was wet. It amplifies the cold, grey of the stone ever more.

Hey, wasn't Beckett killed here? Pretty sure he was martyred by the king's men or something, killed right in his church when he was archbishop....
What a cool place and a great perspective on it.

More than just capturing a moment, the architecture, the style, and the sense of “place” are well-preserved in this photograph. Well done....

I'm always amazed at the beautiful old churches you have! Far older than our country. This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
