A Ball in the Afterlife

This just one of the many neglected graves in the Grafton Cemetry, in Auckland. I suspect that, with the nearby traffic noise, many of the inhabitants have snuck off to somewhere quieter.

I too prefer this shot. For its more balanced and focused composition.

I agree, too. This one seems to have more texture and greater depth which both add to the the abandoned graveyard feel. Very nice! ~Sharon

I agree Peter, but at least my wife is happy :-)

I think this version has the more dilapidated feel to it Gilles. The oof background adds to that feeling as well. Nicely seen.
