Canonshot Mole
Night Of The Long Fairies
Usually this Cistercian Abbey is busy with tourists & visitor tours meandering in & out of the many rooms which lead off this area.
The whole day had been a rather tranquil day & great place to gather your thoughts. I had the pleasure of being one of the last visitors on site just before dark. It was darker than it looks in the here & all i could hear were the squalking ravens outside echoing down the chamber. I can't deny a chilling shudder was going up my spine but i felt at peace as though there were a protective presence all around. I was in here for quite a while trying to figure how it must have been back in the 12th Century & what history these cloisters hold.
That was until a local farmer fired a gun in the next field which bellowed down the chamber....now that did make me jump ! Quickly, up'd tripod & off ! But i will return to visit the protectors of Fountains Abbey.
