Higgedly Piggedly with an ancient ruin thrown in.

The ruins overlooking the graveyard are from 1196. Grey Abbey or as the locals call to Gryby is a small village in County Down Northern Ireland. The graveyard is younger than the Abbey, of course! But headstones date from the 16th Century onward. They are terribly higgedly piggedly. I took this photo on a visit to family last May.

Amazing. The place, oddly enough, almost seems alive. pangaia Nov 2017 #2

One of my hobbies is to visit ancient sites, ruined abbeys and castles to photograph them. My poor SO is dragged all over the country in the summer months.
