Silhouetted against the rising sun,these gravestones I think create a powerful effect…..This graveyard is adjacent to a busy road. Yet, within a few steps of the gate, visitors are instantly aware of the peace and tranquility of this ecclesiastical site. It is dominated by the parish church which is not in the picture and benches are available for anyone who wishes to sit in cntemplation.....Please enjoy.

A beautiful and rather mysterious shot. I find it especially interesting because the cemeteries I have been to are so different in style (gravestones and natural surroundings), history and...uh...how do I put this...content. Gosh, that sounds weird. How old is this graveyard anyway?

I prefer a brief temporary visit Mick, there will be later time enough for a permanent stay!
Very fine image again with loads of a 'vague' atmosphere.

Nice one here Mick, I have been trying to capture a similar photo of a cross in Pipestone, but haven't caught the right light yet.

You have captured the moment perfectly. great shot.

The ground before the two main memorials are red/bronze, the cross memorial seems to be covered with moss, you are so correct Mick, it is a powerful scene.

A place we all should like Mick considering the future for us. I like the time of day you chose for this one. Just enough light to state your point.
Good presentation.
