This is from the ruins of the church of Tautra monastery, founded by monks in 1207. The monastery at Tautra was wealthy and powerful in the Middle Ages and its abbots often played a major part in Norwegian politics. Tautra abby was dissolved during the Reformation in 1537.
There is a new abby at Taura to day, founded in 1999. It has more modern buildings of course.

Så nydelig dette var! Likte veldig godt bruken av begrenset dybdeskarphet og fokus på blomstene mot himmelen.
ReplyDeleteWow. It shows you how nature eventually reclaims all things.

A beautiful monument to history and
ReplyDeletethe late summer meadow makes it even more poignant.
gorgeous blue sky and flowers are watching over this beautiful monument.
ReplyDeleteNice done, I would expect the ruins sharp, but you put the focus on the flowers at front.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very summery Ivar
ReplyDeletei love it!
ReplyDeleteFor et stilig bilde.. og for en blå himmel. Vakkert!
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast of the permanence of the stones of the old monastery and the transience of the daisies. Love the brilliant blue of the sky, too!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is beautifully colorful! Amazing for the ruin to be that old.
