I must be weird I’m one of those people who just loves wandering around graveyards. One reason is the peace and quiet, those dead people don’t ever make a noise:-) Also the way some places are quite neglected and others well maintained. There’s a wealth of photo opportunities in very old graveyards. I love this old Celtic Cross and the snow made it look really awesome.
This is really beautiful love the light upon the celtic cross.like you I love walking round church yards sometime so peaceful and lovely old tombs and stones.
Many thanks for that Karen. It’s a great place, but can be quite spooky for night shoots.
Just don’t tell me you took this one this week don, if so, you are missing out on some fine Westcountry weather my friend, looks beautiful though, especially with the snow and sunlight, Regards, Rod.
Hey there Rod. Thankfully it’s not quite that cold, but London is a lot colder than the South West… Brrrrrrr. Cheers mate. Don.
