One doesn't see such wonderfully ornate head stones anymore. They are true monuments to times past. Esp taken with how the stones have aged.

The monochrome is perfect for setting the mood to this capture. Brilliantly done. Tks Rita :^)

Mmmm. I love graveyards. I sleep in several over night, as I felt it was the safest place. One was in Ireland and I was hoping for the spirit of Yeats to rise and whisper a few words. No such luck, but I had a great time. However, I will comment on the conversion to B&W. The contrast level for me is a little to harsh for the over all feel of the setting. I would revisit the postwork and try for a more ballance subtle approach. Try it in CMYK then RGB mode. Still I like the image, as I realy love grave yards. V

oh, wonderful filter: it fits perfectly in the cemetary frame and give a great depth. smell of memories, very nostalgic, very reflexive.

Eventually all meet their fate, the inevitable death that brings together people from different generations. Impressive to look down on this part of history! Excellent work, Rita!

Ich komme nochmal auf meinen vorangegangenen Kommentar zurk, in welchem ich meinte, dass ich kein Fan von diesen wie mit Lineal und Zirkel angelegten und klinisch reinen Friedhofsanlagen bin. In deinem Bild kommt sehr sch die besonders auf dem Friedhof beheimatete Vergglichkeit zum Ausdruck. Das hei auch oberhalb der "Grabkante" findet an den Grabsteinen deutlich sichtbare Verwitterung statt, indem Flechten und Moose (zumindest solange man sie lt) langsam aber sicher Besitz von den Grabsteinen nehmen, sie zersetzen und zu (neuem) Leben umformen... also eine perfekte Analogie zu dem, was auch unter der Erde stattfindet...
