Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,
I have always been a fan of 'The Kinks' and this record 'Tired of Waiting' came to mind when I was processing the photograph.
I don't remember how long this lady had been waiting but she gave me the perfect opportunity to include a figure in my photograph.
This is a closer view of Rievaulx Abbey, which is a ruin, now in the care of English Heritage.
You can see that it was a far more extensive building than shown by the remains that are still standing, because of the footprint of the walls, where the lady is sitting.
For more details of the abbey, please look at my previous post.
Thank you for your interest, Bev :-)

Hi Bev, like the title. Interesting that she is the only 'soul' there, or are there hidden ghosts behind the walls. I always feel that such places have great stories to tell.
A lovely image with the abbey against the cloudy sky.

Hello Bev,
These are fabulous ruins indeed . The sky with its white clouds is a great backdrop . I like the presence of the people in the FG.

Hello Bev,
I have used "Sunny Afternoon" at least once, but this was also a very good choice for title, and actually more difficult to apply. It's an ideal postcard, although a lot of professional postcard photographers would probably not want to include someone like that woman. To me she looks great in that place, and with such a marvellous background. And it's such a very well taken photo with fine colours and contrasts and a pretty strong 3D effect.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Beverley,
The diagonal lines of the low walls provide a good foreground and give at the same time more depth to the photo.
Behind them rises the truly impressive part of the old abbey.
The very few visitors in the picture give us the impression that you have made a historical discovery.
Pretty summer clouds make an excellent backdrop.
I was also a fan of The Kinks and have seen them perform twice in Belgium. Once was at the rock Werchter festival in 1980.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Bev,
England has lots of ruins, and no doubt there has been a lot of violence. Just like elsewhere on these days. Very impressive. And quite hard to imagine how this place looked when there were walls on top of all those stones.
Excellent light, and the waiting woman adds human presence.

Hi Bev,
The presence of the persons has an effect of scale. The point of view is showing the details of the ruins of the Rievauld Abbey. The qualitu of the light beautifies the colours. Have a nice day.

Hello Beverley,
Fantastic photo of this amazing abbey, it offers such a good overview of the impressive building, which looks great in this bright sunlight and against the green and blue background. The woman sitting and waiting in the left hand foreground was also well included and added a nice human touch.

Dear Beverly,
Well spotted and realized image, I have to say. Though it would be an interesting postcard in itself, the human presence makes it even more interesting.
Best Wishes,

Bonjour, chère Bev,
L'abbaye présentée sous cet angle est magnifiée.
De plus, l'environnement, le ciel, le décor et l'intégration d'un personnage (fort bien placé) forment une réussite généralisée.
Amitiés.

The presence of the lady gave you a good idea for a title, Beverley, but also gave life to the old ruins we see on the background.
The ancient abbey is an impressive edifice even as its grandeur days were some centuries ago.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Bev, Fantastic view of this part of the abbey that I liked so much in your previous picture. Nice to see the contemplating person. One needs some rest from time to time (rarely happens to me though). Superb composition.

The details of the Abbey are so sharp, the sunlight was an excellent aid in giving you such a great photo.

Beverley, such type of ruins often appears in movies or video games. The roof of the buildings and some walls collasped. The lawn of the site is well maintained. The lonely lady is well included, she is maybe waiting for other visitors or taking rest. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Bev,
This side of the building was perfectly lit by the sun to show its texture and details. The person provides a useful scale and some colour. The inclusion of the stonework in the foreground gives us an idea of the scale of the former building.
