Another viewpoint...


This is another view of the cemetery chapel that I posted on the blog last time.
The octagonal angle turret can clearly be seen on the right of the image. A bank of four psuedo machicolations are also visible above the two windows.

Cemetery Chapel.....


This is the chapel at the Plymouth road cemetery in Tavistock, Devon UK.
It is a grade 11  listed building circa 1880 and a gift to the town from the then Duke of Bedford.

It is a very elaborate design for a cemetery chapel. It is built in the French Gothic style with buttresses, octagonal angle turret, psuedo machicolations and a massive porch.
It was designed by Henry Clutton and made of local Dartmoor granite.

I have passed the cemetery on many occasions but I have never taken an image of the chapel.
 Last week I headed down to Plymouth road with my Fujifilm camera with a plan to capture and create an antique looking photograph with a sense of sinister mystery about it.

 Looking at this final image I think that I may have achieved my photographic objective - do you agree?
 What do you think?

The Ruins......


The ruins of an old castle may be enchanting enough to be seen and admired, but one can't dwell there.
 Be careful where you choose to be.
