Just buildings of all sorts

Laycock Abbey (c. 1200), the home of photography. In the 19th century it was the home of William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 he made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, an image of one of the windows.The Edinburgh Photographic Society own many of his subsequent negatives. As a former Vice President of the society, I have had the privelege of seeing them close-up.

That's pretty special.

Also, great image.
 
This looks like it's not more than just a facade. I'm sure it's just the way you photographed it but the building looks paper thin. Like a mild wind could knock it down. It's a great shot.
I didn;t think of it, we were just passing by, Thank you!!
