Went to Kirkstall Abbey yesterday and was taking photos of the beautiful stonework.
This child appeared from nowhere. She was really enjoying her explorings.
Though think she was as surprised as me when she saw me.

That stonework is so very beautiful, Barbs, wonderful colours and textures, and the pretty little princess was an added bonus Carol

A beautiful little girl with a great expression.
Her blue dress blends into the blues in the building.

What a contrast between the child and the stonework and it works well. This would look good in mono with or without the child.

Super candid shot Barb. The setting is amazing and the contrast of colours between child and surroundings makes her stand out. paul
