Do you know what I see? Just humans. The work of humans, the dependence on humans. And the law of nature.

You need to get to Britain. Left in the wake of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries are the ruins of many a gorgeous house of God. Tintern Abbey, Rievaulx Abbey, Whitby Abbey and many, many more. All set upon stunning landscape. Happy hunting!

incredible architecture Roman that is timeless. Almost like it's frozen in some time zone or another dimension. You don't see anything like this anymore. Wonderful inspirations to do renderings. I'm a fine artist who loves architecture and you could take this and give it an abstract look with those wonderful patterns and perspective. thanks for sharing Roman! Stunning work

Do you have a facebook or instagram? I would love to see more!

It's very sad to see such beautiful places in disrepair, but I commend you for your efforts to capture their dying beauty! You have taken some wonderful photos, here.

If there's one thing I'll always give religion the credit for, it sure inspired a lot of people to make wonderous art.

Beautiful, I'm so glad those beautiful buildings allow you, and other photographers, to recreate them in digital form. I love photography but I'm not even close to being this good, I love this post.

How did you get access to these places?

To those who worry about the Italian churches: There is an almost insane number of churches all over Italy. They are everywhere! One older and grander than the other. Sad as the decay is, I can't see how you could possibly maintain them all.

The most heart wrenching part of all this is the how Europe is turning away from the very thing that stands as the bedrock of their civilization. Without the morality and message of Christianity, ALL of Europe is open to conquest,.......and Islam is rushing in to do just that. What a Shame!
