Hi Jan this is fantastic! The silhouttes of the trees and the mist really give it atmosphere, and I think using B&W was the right choice too. I think graveyards are one of the best places to get such great shots, and you've proved that here - excellent post!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Oooh, creepy. I thought the boneyard was the Knackers by the way...great title for this though. It's very atmospheric but I hope Ian was with you when you took it, I certainly don't think I'd have liked to be there alone! Hard to imagine mind, when you're in the sunshine in Thailand. Did I mention that?
Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.

Hey Jan,
Looks like the perfect 31st of October post, (~8
A lot of mystery hanging out there, trying to find their way through the woods, very slowly, as they cannot see that much because of the mist, 8~)
Lovely done,
Great shot! Fog/mist and trees always look effective in real life, but somehow that creepiness doesn't get easily translated to a photo. I think it's the framing/silhouette with the big tree in the foreground that does it for this one.
Also, I know this is weird, but this photo sort of makes me miss my hometown as it has the coolest old cemetery ever. :)
Paul :)
