  • Strangled Cross

    Strangled Cross

    Another day, another cross – this time it’s a stone cross, wrapped in plant life, giving it something of a strangled appearance. I imagine there’s a metaphor in there somewhere, but I’ll leave you to work it out.

  • A Little Cross

    A Little Cross

    Here’s a very small, yet still quite ornate cross. It is part of set that line the walls of a local church.

  • The Sky Above

    The Sky Above

    You didn’t think I’d let a month go by without posting a shot of Burrow Mump, did you? Especially when the theme is landscapes. Here is the famous ruined church on its hill, with a rather ominous sky above.

    Watery Sunrise

  • Snow White Water

    Snow White Water
