January 2 2005:
Passing Through


I was going to perhaps title this “Final Destination” or something like that, but I like to think that this really isn’t so. Maybe this is more akin to a departure board at a railway station. It’s there for others to see but hopefully, we all go somewhere else, or even become something else. Who knows?

This gravestone is in Pirbright Churchyard, which I also visited back in my early PaD years. However, this time, it was eerie and almost dark. I’ve put another version up in my Extras Gallery, but I felt that this version conveyed more of a sense of history.

Great shot. You've captured the old headstone very well

a dark start to the year but some how warming.

You are really in a Gothic mood, Ray. This is wonderful!

I like this one best, and I like your thought of it being more of a point of departure than an ending. This has a looming, spooky quality to it. Nicely done.

Excellent treatment. I visited a graveyard yesterday... spooky or what?!?!?
