It's Monday and time for another round of monochrome madness. I've heard the only thing that doesn't change is the cemetery; but one thing I'm positive doesn't change is the devotion of b&w enthusiasts. Their pictures may be viewed at the home of Monochrome Maniacs.
Wow! That is a magnificent shot! The subject is perfect.
ReplyDeletePerfect atmosphere!
ReplyDelete:-)
Boo -oo! I'm just a ghost - ah - a guest!
ReplyDeleteEpic! This is just superb. The detail in the ironwork and the ambience of the cemetery jump out of the photo and I feel like I have walked into the scene. Thanks for your comments on the Phoenician and Camelback Mountain series on my site.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture with a nice tune.
ReplyDeleteI visited Highgate Cemetery last month a 'heaven' for a photographer. I got a post on it.

This is stunning. The lighting is perfection. The gates are interesting. Well done with this photo. :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect! Your photo is so atmospheric! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHave a gret week:)
Ah, cemetaries in monochrome work wonders. A beautiful gate, so intricate.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love the vintage feel of the shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. What a beautiful gate even if it is to a cemetery. I wouldn't have guess that's where it was.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gate and very atmospheric (and creepy!) photo!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I just need to ask: who's Lawrence?
Oh, and I think this is perfect for another movie about Dracula!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure about how unchangeable the cemetery itself is, but I agree about is as a worthy subject for B & W. And this was another fine example.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the Audio notice, this would be utterly timeless. Sepia suits it.
ReplyDeleteI like this shot; A kind of "gothic" mood.. It makes me think about the old movies of the 30ies.Perfect picture for your B&W monday.
ReplyDeleteWhoa Nellie! Is this an actual altered photo? I can't take my eyes off of it! If it weren't for the ittle 'audio tours' sign I would have thought that it was a painting!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. I've always loved cemeteries. Great places for shots like yours - superb!
ReplyDeleteJust perfect again Clueless.
ReplyDeleteBeaurtiful. I love all the detail.
ReplyDeleteDitto, ditto, ditto, Clueless. This is a real gem.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that haven't been said already? You do know how to make a B&W work!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a superb cover for a mystery novel! The clarity of the gate wrestles with the eerie mystery of the background...
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed.

Fantastic photo with that dark gate and light background. Seems to be inviting you to the other side.
ReplyDeletenice shot, and the monochrome is so fitting for a cemetery picture...
ReplyDeletewell done! I love the lightness of color and feel of the tree behind the dark, yet inviting gate. The huge tombstone is also essential to the compositions. well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect b/W picture.
ReplyDeleteThe black against the light background - makes this magical.
Beautiful. Your monochrome shots are always stunning.
