H. A. N. W. E. everyone! Monasterio de Nuestra Senoria de La Hoz

Situated in the spectacular Hoces del Duraton, Segovia Province.
Built in the 13th century but flattened by the collapse of the rocky spur above it. I couldn't find any reference to loss of life so I presume (and hope) that the monks abandoned it at the first sign of danger!
Viewers have suggested enlarging it (the photo, not the monastery!)

Thank you, Jaap! I haven't uploaded it before because I thought I had already done so. But I find that I hadn't! It must have been on Pano.

That monastery must have been quite spectacular before it was flattened. Even now, in ruins, it's very photogenic and what a marvellous viewpoint over the bend in the river..!!

It's also very touristy so our visit in mid September was a shrewd move!

There is a spectacularly deep and loooong gorge in Cantabria in the north of Spain that would be a better candidate!

Why this fixation with Pano, Fred?
Yes, this was probably there but i don't know for sure if it was this or a similar shot and nor do I much care. Pano is dead!.
