This one is more like a Power Rangers boss battle #Pylons #Photography
B & W. The same pylon from the quote post is facing down a smaller stockier pylon across fields.

Some quick observations on my return to Holyhead/Caergybi yesterday to resume my long term project documenting this sidelined town and community.

Yeah it's one of those things that is always on the horizon but I never quite get there. This pile are still back in the pack sat on the table so that about sums it up. Is nice seeing them though, so you should at least try to get to this step 👍

Hands-on-hips disappointed #Photography #Pylons
A very tall pylon (one of the pair of tallest ones in the UK) looking down at us, the platform near the top juts out resembling the hands on hips bit. Lots of geometric and symmetrical shapes made by the metalwork. Ladders and platforms zag their way up.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 11: Humorous It's not that deep
A grey brick wall at the edge of a cemetery. Scrawled in yellow paint is, "Not That Deep!". Beyond are graves surrounded by trees, ivy is climbing up the headstones.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 10: Missing A time to pause St Denys' Church, Rotherfield, Kent.
A bench beyond a churchyard sits amongst the fallen leaves of a tree. A headstone leans against a metal railing fence.

Water tower from concrete. Some ivy growing on it with lamppost and power line.

Thought this angle might help with the understanding of what is going on here
This one is taken from a horizontal angle looking across the headstone. You can see that it has fallen and the front of the stone is covered by a few millimetres of rainwater, it is pooled in by the raised edges

I guess just time spent in the water. They're not glued in place, most of them are just free and have floated and moved around. A few letters (notably 'November' seems to have done best) are still clinging on

#31DaysOfGraves Day 9: Lettering Forgotten Words Bexleyheath Cemetary
Close up photograph of a gravestone that has fallen and laying on its back. Water has pooled on the surface and loosened all of the letters away from the stone. They are now jumbled like spaghetti letters. Some freshly cut grass lays amongst the letters. A flower is also carved into the stone.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 8: Animal Release the Doves* West Norwood Cemetery *Pigeons
B & W. Two pigeons take flight from one of the two large tombs, silhouetted against a bright grey sky. In the foreground a cross marking a grave has a carved stone bird (I think a crow) leaning down holding a branch with leaves in its beak next to the words "Peace. Perfect Peace".

#31DaysOfGraves Day 7: Home A feeling of home. The grave of George Leo Smith & Mary Minnie Smith in Southern Cemetery, Manchester
The gravestone is double-doors within a brick style frame. There is an arch above the door with a cross, and the word 'Peace' above that. Each door has two metal hinges, and there is a keyhole cover. It resembles the doors of a church. The names are written at a 45° angle across the left door.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 6: Weather Reflecting Pool. Taken at Beckenham Crematorium & Cemetery
B & W. The ground of a grave has subsided and is now full of rainwater. Trees reflect in the surface. An open book style stone stands in front. Another stone is set further back and is mostly submerged. Another stone dips a corner in as it waits on the edge at an angle. Further graves and trees beyond.

roughcast render on a house, yard wall and off shot kitchen. It’s hard to tell where one wall ends and another begins, think “if Santorini was greige, damp and uninviting”. window with iron bars & outward facing prongs on the yard wall, no barbed wire

#31DaysOfGraves Day 5. Vehicle Cheadle cemetery Cheshire. Remarkable memorial to a lad who died at the TT race In 1938. The detail and style are wonderful. I’ve found a photo and some more info. It was his first TT and he promised not to take any risks.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 5: Vehicle The grave of Mr John Wimble & his wife, with the depiction of two ships. Again, at West Norwood Cemetery, London.
B & W. Rectangular stone monument with two pillars on each corner. We can see two faces, the shorter side contains the record of dates and people, the larger has the carving of a ship with sails. Mounted on the top of this 'plinth' is another ship.

I've been out there all day getting all the weeds up, mowing, and then raking, I'm an absolute shell of a man now! Gonna get some top soil down in places and then seed with a little more top soil on Tuesday, and then go out in the spring to a mudbath 😂

Great thanks mate, I'm going to order some! Yours looks quite fine, I was just trying to avoid the thick blade stuff that forms into clumps (even though that probably is better for our brutal summers now!). Looks like a bit of sun & rain this week, I'm officially reinvigorated!
