Sadly, due to security fears, that's true of so many rural churches here in the UK. However, the padlocked fence here at Brompton Church wasn't to keep people out of the building, but instead being used to screen off a section of the perimeter wall that surrounds the cemetery and which has a massive large crack in it ... presumably in case it collapses. Pretty sure it's been like that for years, but I guess when congregations are dwindling such maintenance issues are way down the list of priorities. Anyway, I took the shot into the 'processing room' and here's where I ended up!

I originally took this window shot The Sunday Challenge , but didn't use it. Then this week I was going to submit it to the same group when the theme was fences , but once again it lost out. However, that's not to say I don't like it ... I do and so I thought I'd upload it for NTSC rather than it being left abandoned once again in the archives!

This scene was captured for this week's Sunday Challenge , which had the theme of what's left . I spotted this discarded can lying against the perimiter fence of Allertonshire school in Northallerton and thought it ideal for the challenge. I also liked the crispness of the brand on what appeared to be a fairly new can and the surrounding shadows, which I hoped would give the shot some interest. Sadly, although Coke has been around since 1886 and been generally available in cans since 1960, many people still struggle it seems to either deposit the empty cans in a litter bin or take it home for recycling. And so I felt the slogan that the company used way back in 1927 to promote the product provided an ideal title for my shot, as this photograph really could have been taken around the corner from anywhere .

Yet another nearly shot from a Sunday Challenge gone and yet another that I was considering for the metallic week.
