Weekly Photo Challenge No. 338 - Graveyards

[Sepiana]

Hi everyone,

Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread.

The rules are rather simple.

- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.

Another very timely theme. I'll be visiting a lot of graveyards this week, some authentic and others set up as seasonal installations. Here's one of the latter from this morning.





Thanks for the theme Sepiana

Stopped by our local cemetery in the rain today - so the grass is very green! This was a three shot pano taken from the top of the hill - appropriately the cemetery is called Hillsdale.



And a more seasonal graveyard nearby:

Our small-town cemetery.

A gravesite vs a graveyard. 
Chaney: Best hunting dog ever (Note there are two spellings: Chaney and Chancey. I prefer Chaney, but like in the Pink Panther movie, "It's not my dog." ) 
On the shores of Tyrrell Lake in southern Alberta. October 27, 2021  
Today, I went for a drive to find snow geese. Saw a few hundred but not 50,000 ... maybe next week. I saw a grave marker along the shore about 300 meters from where I had pulled over. Remembering this week's challenge, I went for a walk to investigate. HA! And almost got blown over in the near-gale-force winds...the whites in the second image are whitecaps on the lake behind the grave. 
RIP Chaney.

Yesterday I walked through Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington.  My book calls it a "cheerfully eerie place".

In Abney Park Cemetery is the grave of William Booth and his wife, the founders of the Salvation Army.

Indeed.
That top photo is amazing. Real-life (or death) movie set. 
A lot of history there. 
Thanks, 
Clive

The dull miserable weather this morning, just set the scene nicely.

Check the Year - No it was not photoshopped

I had hoped to get out for something better this week but it doesn't look like that's going to happen so I will go with these two taken the other day.

I like the way you composed your first shot, Tony.

[billz]

I spent the morning in a couple cemeteries today. Here are five of the shots.
Four of the more 'traditional' variety:










And a fifth one shot a little less conventionally


Thanks again for the theme Sepiana. Please don't feel compelled to comment on them all. ;-)

[billz]

OK, one more and I'll stop.

I agree with Clive about Matthew's picture. Nice composition on your picture above, Bill.

billz that Scrabble™® headstone is well done.  Imaginative. 
whippet that looks like the cemetery where my mother, gran and granddad are buried.
