Day 6 - Where are the monks ?

In Cumberland the current library stands on the site of what was an old monastery. Most of the monastery burnt down, but a few of the buildings still stand, and the library has been added on to one of the remaining buildings.

I took this picture outside of a sort of gate house. It was bitterly cold and windy, but I like how the sunset reflects in the panes and gives some warmth to an otherwise very stark and stolid stone wall. I had other pictures but they were a bit blurry and crooked unfortunately.

It's a great place to read, and hiking trails surround the property.
