3rd - "Tombstone"

Great Comberton, Worcs. view map

1993 Western film with Val Kilmer & Kurt Russell

I don't usually mess with or like the heavily edited look of vignettes, filters and such, but thought I'd try it out and go for the old-fashioned effect with this pic of the churchyard at St. Michael's Church in Great Comberton...I'm sure that on a dark and cold winter's night it's a dead spooky place but today in the sunshine, with all the birds singing and the sheep bleating in the next field, it was just lovely and peaceful :o)
