Gloomy Graveyard on a Gloomy Day

This is a very small part of the Graveyard surrounding St. Edmund's Parish Church, Southwold where some of the graves still in existence date from the 17th C

Definitely gloomier viewed on black!

Perfect in black and white. They didn't have color in the 17th century....... no even a camera to photograph it.

I love that word, gloom! It somehow seems to mean a temporary melancholy! Great selection of leaning tombs which rhymes with gloom!

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent of course (it is a graveyard after all), along with superb processing

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

Fantastic processing!

[Dawn Swingle]

Very moody, love your processing!

[Kate Goring]

Love all the texture, fabulous processing.

[Issi Bannerman]

Very appropriate for the forthcoming All Saints Day!

[Rachel Withey]

Love the processing

[Margo Sayer]

Interesting to see so many crosses, sadly fewer in our times. As Issi said, most timely.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very dramatic and very appropriate shot for this subject.

[Francoise]

Perfect graveyard shot full of textures, shadows & crooked gravestones.

[Robert Smith]

Black and white seems to suit the subject at this time of year. I was there in the summer - the church was under wraps for repair but there were lots of interesting details on the outside.

[Richard Sayer]

@rob24 Thanks Robert - the repairs are coming to an end but there were still workman about inside and there was a portable scaffold in front of the magnificent rood screen so I was unable to capture the full glory of the nave and chancel... next time.

[Joan Robillard]

Cool graveyard. I think they make such wonderful places for photography.

[David]

Photogenic places, graveyards! I really like this but can't analyse why! Something must be messing with my head! :-)

[Bill Fenske]

Fabulous! Perfect b&w edit choice

[Jocasta]

Always love your black and white processing
