The ruined church is all that is left of the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, England. The site is now owned by English Heritage.

THe village suffered in the Black Death of about 1350. However it's final demise came when the ruling Lord decided to do away with the peasant's fields and put it all down to grazing for sheep due to the profitability of the wool trade. And we think we have it bad now !

Thanks Candyman and Click!

here is a little bitter sweet story to go with it:

The One that didn't get away

I witnessed one of the most amazing Sunsets at Chrissy Fields with my Phamily. My Valentines present from my wife was a surprise visit to Chrissy Fields while she and Uncle Kenneth Train watch the boys run around the shore while I did my thing. I am so glad I was able to get this shot but 20 yards in front of the location of this image was another pond that had an amazing reflection that stretched almost the entirety of the bridge from top to bottom, side to side. Missed that shot because being the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of person I neglected to bring a second battery. I am still grateful that the battery had enough juice to capture this one and of course sharing the most epic bitter sweet moment with my wife, the last two on the beach at that spot. In that sense I guess the big one didn't get away because If i had gotten the shot there wouldn't have been much of a story, only a pretty picture. Now I have both.
