Looking from The Temple of The Nine Altars away from the Transcept at Fountains Abbey. This was the Largest Cistercian Abbey ever built in the world. It was destroyed in 1580 by King Henry VIII in the deformation of the monastaries. All that remains are some of the finest examples of Cistercian stone masonry and building techniques left in the world. I liked the feeling and atmosphere that this angle allowed.
