Tintern Abbey

One Saturday ten years ago I drove up to the ruins of Tintern Abbey. It was a glorious sunny Autumn morning. It had rained heavily the day before, and from the waterlogged ground a thick mist had coalesced in the early chill along the river, with only dissipating hints of it remaining as the sun rose higher. In such conditions, the ruins were just about optimally picturesque.

I’d brought a couple of cameras along - these shots were taken using a Nikon F80 loaded with Fuji Superia 200 film. I don’t recall what lens was on the camera - whichever one I had, I do recall wishing I’d thought to pack something with a wider angle.
