Here comes a third mystery slide post of this year….
To be transparent, this one is not from a slide, but when I thought about this week’s offering, it came to my mind.
This was a rather grand view on a glorious day….
The view here is stunning, and, as its form is captured pretty completely, I think this is not going to be the most difficult location to decipher.
Where are these ruins located? And, for extra credit, how did they get to be this way?
Wow! Amazing Photo, Frank!
Thank you, Penny!
I can not find anything suitable, at least I have discovered that there is a village called RUINEN in the Netherlands. Not of help, I know.
I’ve heard of the village π
Hmmmm … absolutely no idea, but it’s a great capture!
Thank you!
Fail! I have no idea where this is. π
I’m certain someone will get us closer π
Somewhere in north east Scotland I suppose.
Beautiful photo.
Thank you! You’re getting warm with your guess!
I visited Inverness two years back and drove from Inverness to Edinburgh and onwards to Glassgow. Scenery looks familiar.
You’re in the right area….
Glad to hear that.
Not in the US for sure. Caused by a tornado that got lost and took a turn towards Scotland? I love the photo, the stone work, the majestic size of the church, and all the tombstones surrounding the ruins.
Youβre correct about Scotland. Nobody has gotten the town yet…
Now I have found the place in Scotland, it is ELGIN CATHEDRAL left in the 16th century after reformation.
Ding, ding! We have a winner! You are correct! Well done.
Iβd recognise that terrifying, but pretty view a mile away. I love the carved stones there. ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
The tower, from where I photographed this, is rather tall π
Great shot. The remains of the church and monastery (I assume) after the dissolution of the monasteries in the mid to late 1530’s. Oops. I see above it was in Scotland, so after the 1560s. If you enjoy mysteries set in the 16th century that take place during the dissolution period in England, check out the Matthew Shardlake series by C.J. Sansom. Not only are they enjoyable reads, they are also full of history and the controversies of the period. I highly recommend.
Iβve got to check that series out. The Reformation was a strange period in history!
Best to read books in order because of developing characters and time period. π
