Great idea for a thread, Matt!  One of my favourite topics. 
Here are a few of my favourites:

Mortlach kirkyard, Banffshire:


Sadly, I can't remember where this one is from...possibly Inveravon kirkyard:


Inside the church at Bray, Berkshire:


And this one is in a graveyard in Tokyo, right in the heart of the business district:


I have many, many more, but they're all on my other computer which is on the fritz at the mo (but fixable according to the Mac shop people - phew!)

Cheers

Okay, so why oh why Prue did your pictures show in the "post reply screen"? I don't think I have seen that happen before.

Lodger I have found a few of those pic's, now what better view could a corpse want than this?

That's beautiful Denn - sometimes cemeteries do get the best views in town, don't they!  I always thought the residents at Eastern Suburbs cem at Waverley in Sydney got a better deal than the living!

To get photos in the text like I did, they have to have a web address.  THe photos are located on my Flickr pages, so you just right click on a picture and copy the image location, then paste it between two image tags in your message (the "img" tag button is in the "BBC tags" table in the message reply box, second from left on the bottom row).  Not sure I explained that very well!

Well explained, but that raises another point - what is to stop someone posting another's picture?

Nothing at all - but then if one wanted to, one could always download someone else's photo from the 'net to one's computer and attach it to a post in the normal way...so neither way is worse or better than the other  :)
