BRASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

Here we see the remains of the old monastery, standing tall against a cloudy, dramatic sky. The black and white filter only heightens this effect, emphasizing the intricate details of the stonework and adding a mood of mystery and timelessness to the scene.

As we gaze upon this old structure, we can’t help but imagine the monks who lived and worked within these walls so many centuries ago. How did they pass their days? What were their hopes and dreams? As with many historic sites, Fountains Abbey provides us with a glimpse into the past, a window into a world that has long since vanished.

And yet, even in ruins, there is a certain beauty to these old buildings. Perhaps it is the knowledge that they have survived so many years, standing as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of their builders. Or maybe it is the way that they blend in with their surroundings, seeming to be a natural part of the landscape.

Whatever the reason, we are drawn to places like Fountains Abbey, where the past and present come together in a harmonious whole. And with black and white photography, we are able to capture the essence of these places in a way that is both timeless and evocative. This is the power of the Mid-Week Monochrome Challenge, and we are proud to share it with you every week.
