A couple of photographs of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire, taken with the Nikon F80 back in March this year.

I know I say this a lot but I really do need to make more notes when I’m out snapping! I’m certain the above pic is the west wall of the guest houses but I’m much less certain about the pic below…

I think it’s the remains of a staircase linking the Gallery to The Infirmary to the Abbot’s Gallery but I’m happy to be corrected!

The Nikon F80/AF NIKKOR 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D is a combo I can see getting lots more use… it’s so lightweight!
