The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: ghosts

A warm early autumn afternoon. A chance discovery of a white elephant sale in a little visited village yard. Not exclusively cricket memorabilia, but predominantly of stuff on that theme. There seemed to be so much on display that I surmised that scarcely anything had attracted buyers. Nowhere was a stall owner to be seen; no-one emerged as I rummaged. The quietness was dense. One of those strange moments which seemed of little significance at the time. A cursory glance at this and that, I took a couple of photographs, and that was that. Yet curiously the memory is strong and persistent, like a ghost smiling across a crowded room.

The Red Lion is said to be haunted. There are many tales of unusual things happening in the pub. Indeed, it is claimed that the whole of Avebury is haunted. There are many accounts, but one sticks in my mind quite vividly. In the early part of the last century, Edith Olivier was driving through the stone circle when she became aware of a fair being held amongst the stones. She later discovered that there hadn't been a fair like the gathering she saw for over fifty years. Maybe time has a bit of elasticity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Olivier hersalisburystory.com/stories/edith-olivier Just a note concerning the packed perspective effect in this picture. It was taken using a Nikon D2Xs with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a Nikkor-H Auto 300mm f/4.5 lens dating from around 1971. That gave a focal length of 480mm which with a cropped sensor gives the equivalent field of view of 720mm. Using it was fun but carrying it around with a monopod was tiring.

Nikon D3s and Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens.
