Everyday Adventure: Fountains Abbey at Dusk

One of my favorite spots we have visited so far is about 20 minutes from our house - Fountains Abbey.  We visited in August and despite hundreds of people, it was peaceful and beautiful.  When I saw that Fountains Abbey was open at night during weekends in October, I knew we had to go!  It was such an amazing experience - very few people were there, the structure was lit in floodlights, and there was beautiful Georgian chants echoing around the space.  Hauntingly beautiful and a near religious experience.  Just beautiful.

P took some beautiful night photography that I will share when I have access, but here are a few of the photos I snapped before sunset...all with my camera phone.  Beyond beautiful:


The top of the abbey from our walk down: 


A sheep on our walk down...how beautiful is the light:




The fall foliage:


Architectural perfection: 


And a bit of time for a family photo shoot...it was a chilly evening...winter is beginning to arrive.  Even Alfie wore his winter coat:
