Thank you so much!
Robert Armstrong

Way cool and a little creepy too!
Paul Davey replied

Thank you. I actually find Kensal Green Cemetery to be a really peaceful place rather than creepy, but we have perhaps all been conditioned to find graveyard imagery creepy :-)

As always when I see such shots I think “you should go out in bad wheather more often”. Great picture with a very dense mood!
Paul Davey replied

You’re dead right about going out in bad weather. I try to shoot at times when other people would hesitate to do so – I always end up pleased with the results. Thanks so much for your compliment!

Thank you, DarkStars… the thing I remember most about this shoot was how quiet it was on that day, despite being in the middle of West London.

I love the mood of this image Paul, it is beautiful with all that fog around which also gives the image more depth. Kind of spooky at the same time!
Paul Davey replied

It was a lovely day’s shooting – both peaceful and eerie!
