Bendigo White Hills Cemetary

My father's father was a miner & passed away from miner's lung disease many years before I was born.
His parents...my great grandparents, were buried here many years before he died.

I will be using archive images throughout this challenge. The Ground I Walk On http://form.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=40932




Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

The left tilt of the shot, whether intentional or not, works well in leading the eye through the gate's entry to provide interest in the scene beyond.

Nice looking resting place, I am avoiding these places just in case. Not ready yet.

What a magnificent entrance, especially with that old pepper tree casting shade over the gate!

It would be interesting to see this revisited in different weather and sseasons.

What a charming and very ornate entrance to this cometary Laine. The use of soft focus really sets it off nicely and makes it a more welcoming place as a pose to morbid.BV!!

What mystery shall we find behind the gate...? Awesome composition and mood, Laine. Love the fence. V.

Beautiful gates and pillars and very appropriate treatment.

Great detail in the gates, lovely muted colours, and the soft focus treatment of the greenery gives this image a very special appeal. -v-
