I actually find shots like these very interesting. In their way they are quite intimate: seeing somebody else's surroundings through their own eyes.

Thanks for your kind comment, Beth.

Gorgeous colours, Beth. The trees your side of the pond always seem to have a special splendour this time of the year. Makes me quite jealous.

Thanks, Gary. That's much appreciated. I'm really pleased that 'The gardener' worked for you. Luckily she was taking her time so I was able to frame everything just right to get in all that I wanted to express.

Thanks so much, Bill. I find cemeteries places of never ending interest. Contact with the past, serenity in an increasingly dystopian world, somewhere to contemplate the changing of the seasons; that's all there and more. As you rightly say, another realm.

Timing and juxtaposition are perfect, just perfect!

Thanks, Gianluca. Here's another version from closer in and in monochrome. Another 'self framed' shot. The building is the Anglican Chapel and behind it are the colonnaded vaults.

Thanks, Gary. I always look out for 'self framed' shots. They don't always work as they can be tricky to meter.

Thanks, Gary.

I make no apologies for some more seasonal shots. These where taken on the same occasion as my gardener shot and again in Kensal Green Cemetery. Autumn and cemeteries always seem to go well together in my opinion. Or perhaps that's my sense of morbidity at the closing of another year...

Bill, I salute your talent and your meticulous approach to your work

Catching up after a few days I see that this thread has grown considerably so apologies Bill for not attending to your comprehensive comment earlier. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful work showcased in the links you provided, truly inspirational stuff there.

This made me chuckle, Eagle. Not least because it echoes a lot of my views. I too am biased towards Minolta, at least as far as 35mm is concerned. Apart from a few dalliances I've been using them since the mid seventies.

Welcome, Eagle. Good to see you here. I'm looking forward to your posts as I like the work you share over on 35mmc.
