Best Grave photographs
« on: Sunday 13 September 09 12:15 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I was wondering what everyone's best grave photos were. I have been to various churches all over the place and I have put my two favourites here.

Please post your photographs  :)

Does it have to be your own family? Or is it any particularly good headstone?  I tend to get snap-happy whenever I get into an old burial ground!

Hi

There has to be many favourite pictures amongst the thousands of images I have taken in and around Lewes and Hastings in East Sussex - but this one must come high in that list.
