haunting

"I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!" - Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights

went to a nearby church to take ghostly shots for the technique challenge. while the priests' home shut down for the night, the neighbours all gawked from their windows as well as dog walkers. tee-hee!

thank you kindly for your visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated. special kudos to you folks for taking the irises on to tp and pp. flattered, honoured and humbled by your generous favs.

A ghostly delight!

[Maggiemae]

Very dramatic and also a clever composition! You don't have an ethereal look though with that hat!

[Dixie Goode]

I adore this. Your picture makes me want to make up a story to go with it.

Very eerie. I can just imagine the thoughts going through the minds of those walking by!

Could you do, "Alone and paley loitering"?

Ooh! A perfect entry for the challenge! You must have had to scramble up the stairs to get this shot! Brilliant to get such a terrific shot and to provide entertainment for the neighborhood!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nicely done! I am starting to like it when people can't figure out what I'm doing. Hmmm...that might not be a good thing!!

[Margaret Obey]

Shivery shot

[Osia Strasner]

Wonderful shot, and perfect for that challenge (see, I knew I had seen this!). I love to keep neighbors and strangers on their toes myself!.....always up to no good with that camera and the tripod!!
