The Lean by maggiemae

The Lean

Along the road from the camp the cemetery stands waiting for somebody - me? I recognised that there was history from way back - in the mid 1800’s which is old for NZ!

I manipulated the light in this photo to produce even more imagination!

Three good things:
1. Went walking amongst the pines high up above the camp and was worried about the high fences that I couldn’t climb - found a hole…
2. Rained all day and cold - heater on all day - good for reading my book on Kindle
3. A hole in the outside of our caravan that comes right through into the inside is a worry - like someone pierced a hole with a spear! Have to think about this! Good thing is - we have our wits about us!
Quite a fascinating subject Enhanced both by the light and your manipulation of it

How strange to find such a hole in Cara – van ski! Here's hoping it doesn't give you any difficulties

A very atmospheric and spooky scene with the light encircling the grave stone

@grammyn Well, we have to somehow fix it, Katy! But the rain is not coming in thank goodness even though the hole is in our wardrobe!

I enjoy reading the tombstones. Your focus is so good I can read every word on this one.

I think someone has tipped this grave stone over & climbed out! Watch he doesn't come in through your hole! 😳😱👹

@happypat He could at that, Pat! They can get through the smallest of holes!

Lovely capture, I suspect the lean results from the frequent shakes in NZ.

I really like the processing you used here. Great use of lighting. Creepy, eerie scene!

@taffy Its a bit like one of those black and white movies that was around 70 years ago!

Very moody. Great processing.

I guess the person under it went out.

Dramatic BW shot. Kind of spooky. I hope you can get the hole in the Caravan fixed.

Neat b&w shot which looks great on black...#3...The hole would bother me...It should be an easy fix.

So you found two holes....one in the fence and the other in the camper, what a coincidence.I like a spooky picture enhanced by your processing.
January 23rd, 2017  
That's quite a shot!

Love the monochrome treatment.

Looks like something from an old Sherlock Holmes Movie....The light certainly enhances the " spookiness."

Don't you just love looking round graveyards - so much to see with the style of stone and fencing around them. This one must be quite old to have that much of a 'lean'. You've made a great atmosphere with b&w.

Don't be in any hurry! I like the shot and your processing
