Old Cemetery in the mist

With the mist enveloping everything including these old tombstones, I wanted to create a feeling of foreverness with these 100 year old stones. The NZ cabbage tree shelters them and the writing is still visible. Fog is not that obvious under the trees

Lovely composition, love the sharp detail fading away into the mist. Great atmosphere for graveyard photography.

Cemeteries are so mysterious and full of history. The B&W suits the mood.

There's something special about old cemeteries, I love how you've captured everything in this photo,

[Vee]

Nice black and white...I like how the scene continues in the distance. Although I do get the feeling that these souls do not have very many visitors!

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Rick Schies]

A beautiful aged cemetery, lovely setting too

I love old graveyards...there is so much history...and as Anne of GG would say "so much scope for the imagination".

[Cathy]

Lovely composition. I absolutely love photos of graveyards. There is such intrigue and mystery there in this capture

[Barbara Havrot]

Beautiful, yet haunting. Love the trees; not something you see here!

I love wandering through cemeteries reading the headstones. Great shot.

@vskolnik I'd have to agree with you, Vee - probably the generations have moved out and have no knowledge of their ancestors! Sad.

@lynnb Anne of the Green Gables lived on her imagination - I think I followed her!

@catwoman2 No vampires, no graffiti, no destruction of tombs which did happen in Auckland. Just a quiet look on another century!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful resting place there under the cabbage tree & I love the way those stone or marble headstones show up.

Looks like a movie set.
