Your ruins are so much nicer than ours. But then, ours are only a couple of hundred years old. I believe it is the age that lends them that "joyfully-sad" aspect. I got the same feelings at Schoolmaster's Hill as well as a few other spots around New England, such as Mystery Hill - and oh, yes, Cathedral in the Pines, New Hampshire. I also often feel the Presence in the deep woods, and when I was able to climb, on the mountaintops as well. I can see why the OT pagans went to the "high places" to worship....
