WW - St Andrew's Churchyard
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday.
Love the sunlight and shadows. Instead of a creepy-feeling graveyard picture, the sunlit tree in the centre gives it that prayerful, serene quietness. You are a talented artist!
hey, i have bling for you, but i'm guessing you won't want to post it. i know, strange. but stop by when you have a chance and maybe just take note or something :)
p.s. my ww will be up tomorrow. i hope you'll remember to stop by.
Ooh, what a lovely, atmospheric shot. And I'm so glad I spotted my typo before I posted - I had an 'i' instead of an 'o' in 'shot', which would have given a whole new meaning to my comment. Happy WW!
