Hi Carol

I like this very much, especially the way you have included those blades of grass in the left foreground. It balances so well.

Best wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend!

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thank you very much Peter. Really appreciated. Places like this capture my imagination as they seem so wild and romantic. The reality was probably very different. From the location alone I imagine it was pretty cold up there.A belated HFF and I wish you a good week ahead

An extremely belated HFF, Carol.
Wasn't this famous as a place special to the Scottish Royal Family, especially David I? I studied these things, but many moons ago, so may have got it wrong!

Ecobird club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Many thanks Andy and what a memory! I would need to dig deeper but there is mention of a pilgrimage to St Ninians in 1329. Belated HFF and have a good week.

Hi Carol !
Extremely elated HFF :-)
Enchanted by this image where the grey remains of this ancient Chapel stand against the sulky sky; yet not so lonely but in the green field with te smiling yellow bushes :-)
Wishing you a very nice week ahead !

You took this beautiful photograph at the very right time, Carol. And it is even more beautiful with the blue sky behind !
Enjoyed the very attractive musical group too. Thank you.

And you know why ?! On the same page of your music I discovered ... Victor Borge ! Never had heard about this man before. It was so funny !

WOW!! What a fabulous old relic! The texture of stone and the interesting shapes are wonderful. Love the green too...just super!

Ecobird club has replied to Janet Brien club
Thank you very much Janet. I really enjoyed visiting this area. This is quite an exposed spot so can be quite chilly though. I imagine it would have been quite cold inside the chapel even when it was intact. Have a good weekend
