<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batman_2000, post: 1021003, member: 481&quot;]I bought an old photograph album some time ago, and have already shared one the photos (<a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/photo-of-eastern-costumes-what-do-you-think.23503/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/photo-of-eastern-costumes-what-do-you-think.23503/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/photo-of-eastern-costumes-what-do-you-think.23503/</a>). Most of them are monuments and churches, probably bought as souvenirs, but some are more unusual such as these, so I thought I&#039;d share <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one below is labelled St. Bernard&#039;s Abbey, and a quick search brings up <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_St_Bernard_Abbey" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_St_Bernard_Abbey" rel="nofollow">Mount St Bernard Abbey</a> in Leicestershire (UK). A clock tower can be seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474305" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474305" rel="nofollow">this photo</a>, which looks the same but from a different angle:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]207504[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But the photo I love most is on the opposite page to this, of &#039;The Abbot&#039; himself. Dressed in full regalia:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]207505[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you look closely at the window on the left, there are two other faces. I imagine it was a big event to have photographs taken and the two monks couldn&#039;t resist looking! An early photo bomb?!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]207506[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
