Nice place to spend eternity………..

High on a Glen between Cushendall and Cushendun, on the edge of a cliff looking over the Sea, lie the ruins of ‘Layd’ Church and graveyard. The gravestones are all over the place – there is hardly a flat place of ground available to place a grave, but it didn’t stop them burying people on the hillsides.
These don’t look like your normal standard of care and attention has been applied, Ross. Are they here for critical appraisal?
1 and 4 look a bit soft. 3 is the best photo (for me) but the blown sky ruins it a bit.
Thanks Pete – no, these are only snaps. The fourth in particular was almost impossible to take without nd grads and it clearly suffers from camera shake. I just couldn’t believe what a gem of a graveyard it was, and I suspect the gravestone at the edge of the cliff must belong to a sailor? Unfortunately it is collapsing, and the writing is on the down side, so it is very hard to try to read.

The softness of the images look like a filter (PS) of some sort as the headstone in #2 looks sharp. If it is I like this type of finish. If it isn’t…then I don’t care. The finish is attractive although given the nature of the subject I’d have tried to tone the colour down.

I expect you to go back with ropes Ross. Isn’t your art worth it?
