      Re: Kirkham Abbey

      Hi, number three followed by number one, number one leaves you asking questions, it is an intregueing image, and begs the question why? what thoughts and feelings is it trying to convey. I like the way you have controled the tones in the image, trees and grass can look very similar in mono, yet you have controlled the blend of tones really well in your images.

        Thanks Tinka, the first one is the one I'm happiest with, no 3 is in my view a bit of a formula picture, and on that level probably works very well but as you say the tree perhaps asks more of the viewer, well I hope it does.

        By the way it isn't Kirkham Abbey but Kirkham Priory, I should be more carefull with my facts.

          Hi Patrick
          Well I also prefer no 3 - I am having trouble appreciating no 1 though I think viewed as a large print would help.
          I have passed Kirkham on the train countless times and have always referred to it as the abbey. I did a quick google and found the railway station opened in 1845 as Kirkham. Strangely they added "abbey" 30 years later because of the nearby priory.

            Interesting it does appear to be known as both an Abbey and a Priory.
            English Heritage do refer to it as Kirkham Priory.
            Very pleasant place to be anyway, even without a camera.
