Highgate Cemetery Part IV

Two pictures that show beatiful light and shadows.

Highgate Cemetery Part III: Don't look back in anger...

...Here's an interesting example of 2 pictures i've taken at highgate east:

The first was taken nearly 7 years ago with an anlogue SLR and a fairly crappy lens and then scanned with a proper crappy scanner.

The second was taken this September with decent equipment. But still the first one is by far better. Bottom line: It's the light that makes it. Nothing more.

Highgate Cemetery Part II

Some more recent and modern art

Highgate Cemetery Part I

My second visit there (and the first with a decent camera). We were only at the eastern side since the western is guided only and very photograper-unfriendly.

Anyway, Highgate Cemetery is the most famous of them all and it was relatively packed with visitors. Still, it's big enough to escape and there are still corners which makes the visit worth it.

Kensal Green Cemetery, London: Part VI

Some Photos i'd like to show you:

We were quite lucky that we've got this beautyful light on that sunday morning. I love it when the sun kisses the faces of these angels. 

Kensal Green Cemetery, London: Part III: The Angels

The main reason for being there (and as a matter of fact for being on any cemetery) are the Angels. Here's a selection of some i've found particularly beautiful:

Kensal Green Cemetery, London: Part I

This weekend I was with a buddy in London. Sunday morning we went on the Kensal Green Cemetery, arriving at 9am and discovering that it opens at ten… what a massive disappointment! We desperately searched the neighborhood for a warm cup of coffee which was totally pointless: London (at least the outskirts of it) is fast asleep at this time of a day on a Sunday.

A quarter to 10 an old lady opened the gate and was about to close it again but we convinced her to let us in and we began our walk over one of the best cemeteries i've ever visited.

To be honest, i wasn't expecting very much or spectacular since I found only a few pictures of this cemetery in the internet.

Boy, were we in for a surprise!

Something quite old...

But still fitting! These are scans from old negatives of mine. They were taken in London, Highgate cemetery.
