Spooky coastal graveyard …....Color version available upon request
The cemetary at St Georges church in Beckenham, south London.
Another peaceful or spooky (depending on your viewpoint) shot from a local cemetery. I had to get up especially early (for me) to get this before the December morning mist lifted.
An angel at the top of a tall tombstone at Liverpool Cemetery. I just thought it was really beautiful. Various Themes
Hear me father and mother above … / set me free from this pain, / take my hand and rescue me! Lift me up and let me rise … / send me an angel in disguise. Set me free from this pain, / take my hand and rescue me! This is my prayer … this is my plea! Words: by me Picture taken on Melaten cemetery, Cologne, Germany
John P. Cable Mill – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA In Cades Cove there were few sources of power which the frontiersman knew how to harness. One of those power sources was the water wheel such as drove the early grist mills. Cable Mill is one of those. The Smoky Mountains Natural History Association keeps Cable Mill running in Cades Cove to teach the Smoky Mountain visitor a little about life in the 1800’s. The mill is operated April-October. A handful of enterprising residents in Cades Cove built water driven mills to grind grain. Their hope was that other Cades Cove families would prefer paying them to grind the grain rather than to struggle with the small inefficient tub mills at home. The tub mills were only capable of processing a bushel of corn each day. The entrepreneurs were correct and ran fine business in Cades Cove as a result. Cornmeal was the only grain that could be ground in the tub mills and so the waterwheel driven mills that could grind wheat into flour was a welcome addition to the cove. Now biscuits could be eaten some of the time instead of cornbread. Payment for grinding grain did not always mean money exchanged hands in Cades Cove. Sometimes money was paid but other times the miller was paid a portion of the resulting flour or meal. Besides John Cable, his son and also Frederick Shields operated mills. Cable and Shields took double advantage of their waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use the overshot water wheel. Like most business men in the Cove, Cable was also a farmer. He could be summoned from the fields by a large bell he had on the property for that purpose.
Jesus is the Light of the World. Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12. The Cades Cove Methodist Church was constructed in 1902. Methodists were active in the cove as early as the 1820s, and built their first meeting house in 1840. The church was rebuilt in 1920, this is the one that remains in the cove today. The light pouring into the window provides a view of the cemetery from a church pew. There are not many records of the early Methodist Church. The Cades Cove Methodist Church is included among those of the Holston Conference’s Little River Circuit in 1830. The present church building was built by Rev. John E. McCampbell in 115 days for $115. It had two doors and a physical divider to separate males and females. The cemetery contains at least 100 graves and is the second oldest church cemetery in the Cove. Methodists were not as dominant as Baptists in the Cove, but they served the community well. The Civil War and Reconstruction divided the members and dissidents formed the Hopewell Methodist Church on the opposite side of the Cove, which no longer stands.

This Angel has been keeping her quiet vigil for over 100 years. She looked in despair I thought, cobwebs, bird poop, lichen. The family carers of the tombstone probably long gone. For cobwebs best view large! Thank you for looking.

One of Newcastle’s oldest cemeteries that’s still in use located in a suburb called Whitebridge.
Probably on of the creepiest cemetery trees I’ve ever seen at the very actively haunted Niccum Cemetery in Danville Illinois.
They may as well have called the sun a ball of flaming joy. Star Richés
I was taking photos of statues in a cemetery one day and I came across this sad looking stuffed dog sitting on a tombstone. It was drenched from the thunder storm from just a few minutes before this shot was taken….yes, I got caught in that storm and was stuck under a cemetery gazebo for an hour!! *All proceeds of sales are donated to the Hope Animal Shelter Please check out my other gallery here at RedBubble, Macabrecat , for my cat photography.

This is one of over 200 exposures made on December 23 2007 at Kensal Green Cemetery in North West London. There was a very thick fog that had closed the airports and brought much of the UK to a standstill. It seemed obvious then that I should go and shoot some images in the cemetery which is about 300 yards from my front door. Interestingly, Kensal Green Cemetery is said to be one of the earliest “modern” Cemeteries, dating from the mid 1800s. Cemeteries all around the world based their design on that of Kensal Green. Part of the intention was to integrate the cemetery with its natural park-like surroundings, a place where death nurtures nature. Having been shot with a rather ancient Canon 10D at ISO 400, this image is slightly ‘noisy’, but think it adds to the ambience. Canon 10D / Canon 28-200mm @28mm / 1/90sec @f11 / ISO400 Tweaked in Lightroom – desaturated a bit, colour temp lowered slightly, contrast enhanced a tad.

Me with dark hair about a year and a half ago, and an old cemetery from the 1800’s that I happened upon a few months ago…

Something all of us have to deal with at some point in life. Whatever form it comes in, it does need to be dealt with and moved on from as quickly as possible. When times get tough, get creative. The photo was taken at Melbourne Cemetery. Using textures (http://www.grungetextures.com/gallery/pic.php?id=1373) and colour altering to create a cracked existence that anguish often leads to.

Impressive tomb at Kilcoona cemetery in co. Galway, Ireland The cemetery is quite small, and most of the graves have been shattered during the past centuries with only bits and pieces lying around, but this tomb still stands. HDR from 1 RAW image processed in photomatix, and added taxture layer in PS + final tweaking.
