Visited the beautiful Lacock Abbey today. One of those places that satisfy some underlying longing to be in a still and quiet place. Yes, it wasn't empty, but the stones, sunshine and green fields made their presence felt in a powerful way...quenching the need to be somewhere meaningful.
Apparently the daughters of Fox Talbot loved nature and wild flowers... They painted literally thousands of watercolours, some of which were simply displayed on easels in the calm and empty spaces around the Cloisters.... Lovely.
Nice light! I finished doing the guidebook for them now, but spent a lot of time at Lacock last year... especially nice in autumn! http://bit.ly/rTcBnK
