26th February 2005, the spookiness

I've never quite worked out why some churches should look so spooky,
maybe it's just the time of day.
Some of them have gargoyles and other fearsome carvings,
I wonder why.
Not this one though.
But it does look a bit frightening in the gloom,
I ran off back home.

very nice even if a bit spooky... some nice color coming in the sky and oh the tree is very pretty!

ooohhh.... there's something very macabre about this!

Great. Love the feather branches of the tree on the right side

Usually there#s no-one there, it's so quiet, but the shadows.... is that lid lifting up?!!!!
Did a PaD in January at night..... it can be v. spoky!

maybe it's the open space all around it and the overcast sky but you're right - it's not
exactly cosy, is it? ;)

Its almost eerie. Interesting photograph

Well done

I think that tree to the right and the combination of the clouds in the sky make this image truly spooky. You captured an incredible mood here and I just love the darkeness of this photograph. Very nice. Voted.

Yes, this is fabulous. Thomas Hardy would probably have written an entire novel on just this one scene.

It's the sky & the magestic feel of the building, it's Wuthering Heights, Tess of the D'Urberville...it's beautiful.!!
