Excellent shot from a higher perspective, Debbie. We don’t have abbeys here and they are my favourite places to visit when I am in UK 🙂 Neat photos all around.

I do enjoy the peace and beauty of ancient graveyards, wondering who these people were and what were they like. Wonderful pictures.

It was a well kept graveyard, but the aged nature of many of the graves made it eerie even in the sun. And I love your word, enigmatic, very apt
