Rest In Pieces ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, which has the theme of broken.

I spotted this collection of stone masonry propped up against a crypt outside one of the churches near where I live in North Yorkshire.

I couldn't decide if they were all from the same grave or not, but I felt the grouping was an ideal subject for the challenge, even if it was a rather sad sight.

Probably best viewed large on black if you have time.

oh that is so sad!

autofantasia ^club has replied to Shuttering Yukon

Yes it is in a way Wendi, but at least someone has thought to gather the pieces together ... I imagine from the look of them that they probably date from the 19th Century if not before!

Cool processing, Paul. It creates such a different mood from the original.

9 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Esther ^club

Thanks for the kind comments and the fave Esther, not to mention taking time to view the original shot. As you say the processing has created quite a different mood, but hopefully in a way that doesn't scream "I've been toched up" - lol! :)

Unan composición magnífica y una edición extraordinaria que le da un aire de misterio. Me encantna como se adivinan las hojas secas en torno a las piedras.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Marije Aguillo ^club

Thanks for taking time to comment on this one Marije and for the fave. It seems my life has been taken over somewhat by the 'elephant' at the moment, so it's nice to see some activity elsewhere in my photostream! ;)
