cemetery – Graeme Skinner

A mixed bag

As my head is now fried here’s a mixed bag from yesterday (when we timed some drives from different parts of the area to see if we could live there or not and still get to places we need to be), and some from today on the coast blowing some cobwebs away….

Taken in my perpetual search for the Shire (and somewhere to dig a nice Hobbit hole and hide with a good book or two).

I had a wander around Penrith cemetery today as I wanted to take some reference photographs. While I was there I noticed the light playing across some of the stones and statues and ended up spending quite a while there

The Sleeping Place

We went to Penrith cemetery today for a wander around to look at the various forms of memorials, headstones, and grave markers. I took the camera along of course which to some may be a bit of an odd thing to do, but those weathered stones have some wonderful textures on them.

When we returned home I decided to look up the word ‘cemetery’ as I could not remember where it came from, trust the Greeks to come up with κοιμητήριον: sleeping place.

Sorry for the image overload, I took maybe one or two more photographs than I should have done –
