From time to time my muse gives me an inspiration that is totally out of character for me. In an email earlier today a friend referred to my submissions this week as dark humor. That seems to be the best description of my photo for Still Life this week.
I won't deny that I found some humor in the thoughts of Lydia Deetz flitting through my head as I worked my way around the cemetery. Perhaps it was the contrast of her dark Gothic look to my cheerful blond, or maybe it was just too much sun and heat. I actually took a large number of shots in two graveyards that turned out quite nicely in a dark sort of way. Look for a few of those to be posted later this week.
The poem at Impassioned Versifier this week is not so humorous, but is a result of spending an entire evening editing the above mentioned photo collection.

I'm drawn to old cemetarys. All the old stones. When photographed in black and white, the photo is timeless.

Thanks for sharing it!

I think you will enjoy the photos that I have for later this week then Nancy! One of the cemeteries I visited was so old that the stones had long been knocked to the ground and grown over.
