At the foot of Heysham cliffs.

This just seemed to work better in black and white.

I bought a new camera today: a Nikon D300. Incidentally, I love it.

Taken on the bluffs at Heysham Head with the Sigma 10-20mm.

The remains of one of the walls of the great church at St Benet's Abbey, on the banks of the River Bure.

St Benet's was alone in not being dissolved by Henry VIII. Instead, it was made part of the bishopric of Norwich; to this day, the Bishop of Norwich is the Abbot of St Benet's, though the abbey itself has long since fallen into ruin.

The ruins of St Benet's Abbey on the banks of the River Bure.

This is an amazing set of ruins. Not only are parts of the abbey still there, but there's also the remains of a wind pump that was built inside the ruins themselves.

Even better than that is the graffiti, carved into the stone. The recent stuff is nothing special - pen-knive scratchings on the soft brickwork of the pump tower - but into the abbey ruins, beautifully chiselled into the old stones, are things like "C.T. Alcock, 1902" and "W.B, 1912." The oldest one I found said, simply, "1895."

So many years of history, all in one place.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
