a nightly adventure at Waverly Abbey

My partner in crime getting ready to take some nocturnal shots from inside the Waverley Abbey ruins (with open roof) towards the night sky while I was having more fun photographing his antics from the outside looking in ;)

 

Waverley Abbey: was the first Cistercian abbey in England[citation needed]. It was founded in 1128 by William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester. Located in Farnham, Surrey, about 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the town centre, the abbey is situated on a floodplain, surrounded by current and previous channels of the River Wey. It was damaged on more than one occasion by severe flooding, resulting in rebuilding in the 13th century.
