Light at Valle Crucis

A ruined abbey and bright, mid-morning light. Old stonework looks much the same to me wherever it is (:twisted, so it was the light that caught my eye. Here is some of it. Much like chasing shadows but in reverse...

K3 + 16-85mm.

Thought and comments welcome as usual.

A very nicely observed set and if taken this month you are spoilt for choice for the monthly comp.

Lovely set. All good but the subtle patch of lighting on the grass in 2 and especially 4 come tops for me!

Fine photographs! They are all likeable, but for me No 1 is No 1!

Thanks folks. It makes you wonder what the mediaeval monks would have seen and felt when light was pouring through windows into dark rooms.

Processed in October but unfortunately taken in September. I suppose that doesn't count.

Another vote for number 1. (I also like number 5 except that the light on the floor looks a bit too bright to me.)

They are all nice but #3 especially for me.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Always attractive when sunlight transforms something which might otherwise be quite ordinary into something which is interesting/a pleasure to look at. 1, 3 and 5 particularly do this for me. Well captured!

Super set Steve - don't know how I missed them earlier in the week!

Like them all but no.5 has the edge for me, well spotted

Good work chasing that light - I particularly like #4 with its mysterious light patch contrasting with the dark opening.

Nice idea and well captured.
The K3 + 16-85mm is my go to these days too.
