Buried (PiPs)

Buried (PiPs)
The tower is literally the only visible remains of the 14th century church of St. Laurence near Skagen, North Jutland. Over 2 centuries a shifting sand dune gradually subsumed the rest of the church and the village.

PiP 1 - The top half of the tower - all that can be seen.
PiP 2 - Taken from directly above the altar.
PiP 3 - How the church looked circa 1700.

Amazing.................who would have thought it possible! A cracking set of images Maggie, all very nicely composed and taken and a nice image showing how it would have looked before it was taken by the sands.

Nature will take that which it wants -- we are just in the way at times, since humans think they can outwit Nature!

It's amazing how the movement of a sand dune buried so much of the church!

An amazing sight and a beautiful one. The red roof and the crow steps are very familiar on the east coast of Scotland.

Apparently (according to Wiki) there was a lot of sand shifting going on in northern Europe during the same time period, including in Scotland.

That is quite amazing Maggie and it is good that this part at least remains. A beautiful image with the tower and the dunes and great PiPs.
